Chapter 908 An Important Meeting
Chapter 908 An Important Meeting
With quick thinking and some yells from Miwa and Dennis, Lith guided the beast towards the bowl filled with food and had it calm down.
"What's the situation?" Lith asked the two after getting down.
"We need to make a rough textured risotto that's still really creamy." Dennis said.
"Recipe two only states how to make it creamy though." Lith replied.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Miwa chimed in. "Didn't you guys learn about the mellow seeds just a while ago?"
Lith and Dennis showed a surprised expression.
"You were paying attention?" Dennis asked.
Miwa knitted her brows. "Obviously?"
Why were these guys so surprised? Did they think of her as a fool or something?
Lith and Dennis were about to reply to her comment when…
KRRRRAAAAAAA!
The three's attention was diverted towards a shrill voice and what appeared in their vision was a giant purple gargoyle chasing after a pink-haired dude, that being none other than Ralph.
Ralph's shirt was completely in tatters with there being a big claw mark on his chest.
He was bleeding profusely and his hair was a mess along with his clothes.
Lith, Miwa, and Dennis widened their eyes in surprise, but in just a few instances, the gargoyle was diverted towards his food bowl and left Ralph alone.
Coming back to the three, Ralph retracted his wings and fell down on the ground.
"Haaah… Haaah… Haaah… Don't… Haah… Mess… With them…"
Ralph said in between his rapid breaths.
"What the fuck happened?!?!" Dennis asked.
"Make… Haaah… Food…" Ralph said, not elaborating on his situation.
"Shit." Dennis exclaimed. Ralph was right. They were yet to make the second recipe and the beasts should've finished with their food already.
"Miwa, hurry." Dennis said and took Miwa to cook the risotto.
Lith squatted down and with seriousness all over his face, tended to Ralph's injuries.
"Seriously… Why did you fight them…" Lith said while dropping a vial of healing potion over Ralph's body.
Unlike Lith and Dennis, Ralph didn't have the innate ability to heal himself and potions were needed.
Lith did his best to cover up all his wounds and also fed Ralph with a few healing pills.
His condition got better in a few seconds and he got up from his lying position.
Sitting cross-legged, Ralph circulated his breathing and after doing so, said while staring right into Lith's eyes, "We cannot win against them. Battle is futile."
"Why did you even fight?" Lith asked.
"I had no choice. It attacked me out of nowhere while I was harvesting Vaaz berries." Ralph answered.
Vaaz berries were fruits that had a bitter taste to it and seeds that Miwa and Dennis needed for their rough-textured risotto.
"Those are at least King Tier or above. We need to be really careful." Ralph said, emphasizing his point once again.
"Juan and Miguel really put us in a pickle, didn't they?" Lith sighed and said.
Ralph sighed as well and got up. He stretched his arms and said, "Nothing we can do now. Let's get it over with. I have yet to inform mother that I'm out."
"Don't worry about it. My clan must've taken care of it already." Lith informed.
Ralph did a slight nod and the two went back to gathering the ingredients while Dennis and Miwa cooked.
…..
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
"Hm~ hm~ hm~ hm~" Lilith hummed while writing a few things on an old parchment.
Her personal maid, the black-haired Luo Qingyue, stood behind her, looking at a tablet screen and typing a few things on it.
Lilith was in a relatively good mood today for reasons unknown while Qingyue maintained her usual professional calm look.
"Okay, all done~" Lilith said after a while.
Qingyue turned her head up and asked, "Any instructions, Madam?"
"Yes." Lilith said while scrolling the parchment. "Give a call to Agalea, Lucifer, and Mayzin. I'd like to chat with them."
Qingyue bowed in response and asked, "Anything else?"
"Yes, tell the three it's urgent and to drop by within an hour."
Qingyue nodded and left to get the job done.
Lilith did a few more work related things and after an hour…
In the middle of a pond full of white lilies lay a pavilion housing nothing but a few luxurious oil lanterns, a round table, and a few chairs.
On one of the chairs sat Lilith, sipping on tea and waiting for her sisters' arrival.
The yellow flames from the ancient oil lanterns, the silver moonlight, the blue water from the pond, the lilies, and the white pavilion… Everything brought about a peaceful and serene atmosphere, appearing straight out of a fairytale.
This was one of Lilith's favourite courtyards and her conducting meeting here meant she was serious and had something important to say.
However, no matter the occasion or venue, there was one person who did not take anything seriously. That being…
"Bitch!" A yell resounded in Lilith's ears, making her sigh and shake her head.
She had the power to shake mountains, dry up the seas, but she could do nothing about the red-horned demon walking towards her.
For some reason, Lucifer was really annoyed and as she entered the pavilion, she didn't hug Lilith like usual, rather, clicked her tongue and said, "You better have something important to say, otherwise I'll seriously be pissed. I had to stop breastfeeding my daughters to come here, do you know how big of a thing this is?"
Lilith chuckled hearing that, realizing it was something silly as usual at which Lucifer was annoyed.
Judging from her oversized t-shirt that had wet spots on it, Lilith could tell Lucifer really wasn't lying.
Looking at her, instead of greeting, Lilith asked with a curious expression, "Why are your breasts still leaking?"
Lucifer knitted her brows slightly. "Seriously? You're asking me that? Didn't I tell you I was breastfeeding a few minutes ago?"
"Well, even if you were, it shouldn't leak like that once children have stopped." Lilith explained.
"What?" Lucifer was slightly surprised. "Leakage is not normal?"
Lilith shook her head. "It is normal, but it stops automatically after a few seconds. If it doesn't, then that means you don't have proper control over it. Or, your breasts are just over secreting milk."
Lucifer rubbed her temples. "Too much mumbo-jumbo. Can you make it stop?"
"Sure. But wait a few seconds, Agalea and Mayzin are here. Let's greet them first."
"What—"
"Hello~!" A sweet resounded in the two's ears and turning around, Lucifer saw the blonde curvy Elf Queen walk inside the pavilion.
Right after her, the purple-haired Dragon Empress, Mayzin walked in.
"Greetings, everyone." Mayzin said with a small smile.
"Yo, you guys. Long time no see." Lucifer's mood changed and she greeted the two with a smile.
Knowing Lucifer for so many years, Mayzin suddenly felt something off from Lucifer's smile, but couldn't really point at anything since Lucifer seemed sincere .
"It's been a while, Lucifer, big sis." Agalea said with a smile.
Lilith did a slight nod of acknowledgement and said, "It has been. Get seated, we have a lot to talk about."
"Indeed. But before that, give me a hug, you two. Been a really long time." Lucifer said and went to get the two with open arms.
"Yeah, no. Stay aw—"
"Mayzin-chan~"
It was too late for the Dragon Empress. She could not dodge the onslaught of the vile Demon Queen and ended up getting embraced by her.
Lucifer wrapped her arms around Mayzin's waist like a normal hug and said softly, "I missed you~."
The words seemed heartfelt and made Mayzin wonder, 'What? I thought she was going to harass me… Guess I'm just overthinking…'
Thinking so, Mayzin hugged Lucifer back, trying not to have a bias for her sworn sister, and said, "I missed you too."
"Mhm…" Lucifer hummed in response and then broke the hug, surprising everybody in the room.
Did the sun rise in the west? Did the Vampire Continent's eternal night end? There were so many mysteries surrounding this weird response from Lucifer.
"You seem really—"
"Agalea-chan~" Lucifer cut off Agalea's words and went to hug her.
Naturally, since Lucifer had been good, Agalea didn't put up any resistance and let Lucifer hug her.
Lucifer rubbed her face on Agalea's and said, "Yaa~, been so long since we saw each other, didn't we?"
Now something was definitely wrong!
This was not Lucifer!
There was no way Lucifer would be so nice and—
Squish… Squish…
"Oh my, they've gotten a lot more thicc, if I were to say." Lucifer said, squeezing Agalea's big buttocks. "It seems you've gotten clapped a lot many times, haven't you?"
There she goes, thought everyone and sighed.
Lucifer was Lucifer at the end of the day. If she was sweet out of nowhere, then this only meant something devious was cooking up in her mind.
Shaking her head, Agalea said, "Good to see you too, Lucifer."
She then tried to break the hug, but Lucifer didn't let her. Instead, Lucifer inserted her hands inside Agalea's dress to squeeze her bare ass cheeks.
"Damn, as I thought. They're bigger than the time we scissored."
The three ladies' eyes widened in response, hearing that.
"What?"
"You two scissored?"
"Such scandalous deeds, oh my…"
