Chapter 294: I wonder what they're really doing
Fallen Continent
As Asher Eli revelled in his intimate teasing moments, deep within the black-marbled castle,
"~Hmmm~"
"~Ahhh~"
Echoes of moans resonated in the haunting darkness.
On a grand bed, a resplendent woman rolled around, panting heavily.
"W-What is this feeling?~mmm~" The golden-haired woman murmured, her deep sky-blue eyes tinged with red trembling as if sensing an immense lust from the connection she shared.
Her fingers wandered over her lower lips, her dishevelled hair, her panting face, and her breathtaking beauty could captivate any man's heart... though her heart had only one man.
"Darling~~" An ethereal and seductive voice escaped her.
Lilith writhed on the bed, feeling an overwhelming jealousy and unease.
For hours, she had sensed an abundance of lust through the connection with her husband, Asher Eli.
The jealousy burned within her as she couldn't believe that someone else could evoke more lust from her husband than she herself and uneasy about someone worthy opponent appearing.
Just like any other day, Lilith reclined on the bed, watching the videos she recorded every day... It was just a 'normal' video she records secre--ahem, anyway, it was a documentation of their daily beautiful life.
These videos served as her solace during the three days when she couldn't be with her husband.
However, today was different. As she watched the video, she suddenly felt an intense surge of lust from their connection.
She was shocked and couldn't comprehend that the lust was coming from her husband, especially when he had never shown it to her.
Furthermore, it started to stir her own desires... Horny, making her clearly jealous and envious of the woman who could incite such passion in her husband.
She contemplated moving and confronting the person who seemed to be stealing something significant from her. Yet, she wasn't foolish enough to interrupt her husband's happiness.
Her eyes blazed with lust and envy, and she wondered what her husband was doing with that other bitch... though she knew what he was doing but still she wanted at least to feel a little dense.
"~ha~ha~" She breathed heavily as her insides calmed down a little, sensing that the lust from her husband had diminished but not disappeared.
"It seems that woman is more important to him than me!" Lilith's voice echoed with disdain and anger.
"Hmph," she pouted like a child who had lost her candy. She waited for a few hours, but the lust seemed unrelenting.
"Grrrrr" Lilith gritted her teeth, thinking, 'Just a few more hours....' She waited for the dawn.
"I am going to make sure to put that bitch in her place!" She muttered with a deadly tone.
In truth, she felt a twinge of sadness that she had never sensed such a strong emotion from her husband before... no, she did feel it before but it was only a mere seconds when he got jealous. However, this emotion.... the feelings she was getting from him seemed to last for hours, as if some kind of dam had broken.
"Just wait you bitch!!" Her deadly voice reverberated in the haunted castle.
Little far away, another castle stood, however, compared to that haunted black marbled castle... This one looked a mixture of colourful with a maximum of black marbles.
It may not have matched the grandeur of the previous castle, but it exuded authority and an unassailable presence.
Inside this castle,
"Did my daughter return normal?" A charming voice inquired.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Her Highness returned normal, but she seems a little different," echoed another charming voice.
"Hmm? Different?" Adriana, the Vampire Queen of the Fallen Continent, reclined on her majestic throne.
"Yes, it's hard to pinpoint, but she surely felt a little different comparatively before. Others might not notice these minor changes like she appeared more mature and elegant and....." A red-blue-haired woman who wore a maid uniform that was unable to hide her curvy body, Evelina Veilstrike, the Countess of the Fallen continent and Head Maid of the Vampire Queen.
"And?" questioned Adriana.
"Well, I.... sense her scent was a bit different," The Head Maid said with hesitation.
"Different?" Adriana frowned. Her Head Maid, who was considered the Queen of Succubus/Incubus, suggesting her daughter's scent had changed implie---
"Did she finally find someone she likes?" Adriana asked, her lovely smile revealing her happiness.
"....I am not sure... Maybe..." The Head Maid responded with a hesitating expression and uncertainty.
"Hmm," Adriana nodded. She was genuinely happy for her daughter, knowing the joy of finding someone she liked.
Yet, as a mother, Adriana understood the need for caution. She would undoubtedly conduct a thorough investigation into the person who had captured her daughter's heart. The world was full of perverts and schemers, and she was determined to protect her daughter from any potential harm.
"Anyhow, did you find any clue?" Adriana turned serious.
"No, Master. Nothing found anything related to the person who kidnapped Master Asher Eli" the Head Maid said with a hint of annoyance.
Adriana chose to overlook her attitude and pondered the progress of the investigation into the person who nearly kidnapped Eli inside the Nex.
Yes, Adriana harboured a slight trauma from the incident when she saw Eli being captured by an unknown assailant. So she had been searching for him.... The thought of finding that person, tearing them apart, and presenting their remains to Eli lingered in her mind.
Surely, he would definitely be pleased, right?
Whether she knew the true story or not, Eli would be pleased by her decisive action.... because he also had some 'trauma' with that same person.
After a thorough investigation, Adriana managed to trace the destination of the person who escaped using an artifact. Unfortunately, the trail led to The Fallen Continent.
Adriana was determined to locate the assailant, but the vastness of the continent made it challenging to pinpoint the exact location. The search was proving to be time-consuming.
"sigh, what about that Fiend?"
"I am sorry, Master but we couldn't even find a clue, as if it never appeared"
Adriana sighed deeply, lost in thought.
"...M-Maybe Our King might have got it wrong this time?" The Head Maid's hesitant voice broke the silence.
"Do you really think Our King lies to us?" Adriana asked with a blank expression.
".... Forgive me for my rudeness" The Head Maid bowed her head deeply thinking she might have touched a sensitive subject.
"Hmmm..." Adriana remained silent.
"Master..."
"...."
"Are you sure you don't want to go tomorrow?"
Adriana's lips twitched as she knew what it was. According to her investigation, many nobles were planning to attend Asher Eli's duel against Kayden. Moreover, it seemed that the King of Theos Kingdom was the one who spread the rumour about the duel.
She couldn't quite grasp the scheming the king was attempting. It was just a duel, yet the King appeared to have some ulterior motive.
As a supporter and sponsor for Asher Eli, she felt compelled to be present. However, a nagging feeling lingered; if she got by Eli..... a potential nightmare might unfold.
Adriana was just about to respond when,
"SSSSSHHHHH"
"Adriana" Lilith appeared in front of them.
"My King!!" The Head Maid immediately kneeled down, her face sweating like bullets.
Even though Lilith had just appeared, it was very rare for her to be present in Adriana's castle. In her lifetime, the Head Maid had seen Lilith only once before, excluding now.... so worried that her king brought some important dangerous news.
Adriana stood up from the throne, and like the Head Maid, she also kneeled on one leg. For everyone in the Fallen Continent, Lilith was a god. So, no matter who they served or how powerful they were, in the end, there was no one above Lilith..... The Ruler of Darkness.
Lilith impatiently moved towards Adriana, her presence exuding an overwhelming aura of dark mana that seemed to distort the very air around her.
"Arhh," The Head Maid groaned, feeling the oppressive force of Lilith's dark mana affecting her body. She struggled to maintain her composure under the weight of the Ruler of Darkness's presence.
"Leave," Adriana's voice, though calm, carried an undertone of authority that resonated through the room.
The Head Maid nodded at Adriana's order and looked at Lilith, who didn't even spare her a glance. Despite the lack of acknowledgement, the Head Maid understood her place as a mere being in the presence of the powerful being. Without harbouring any disappointment, she expressed her respect,
"Forgive me, My King" before leaving the room.
"You bitch!!" Lilith's furious voice echoed in the room as soon as the Head Maid departed.
"???" Adriana frowned as she really got offended when her king called her like that.
If her subordinates were to hear such words directed at her, what perception would they form? Certainly not a good one.
"How dare you ignore my husband?" Lilith stood menacingly before the kneeling Adriana, her imposing presence filling the room with an intense aura.
Experience tales at m-vl-e-mpyr
It took a few seconds for Adriana to understand.
"..." Adriana swallowed nervously, recognizing the gravity of the situation. As she contemplated making a swift exit, Lilith's stern voice cut through the air.
"Don't you dare think of running away from me!!" Lilith's words reverberated with a deathly resonance, freezing Adriana in place.
'Bastard, did you really have to complain to her?' Adriana inwardly cursed Eli for potentially instigating Lilith's wrath. As she gathered her thoughts to respond, a sudden explosion of force struck her face.
"BOOM"
Lilith's punch landed squarely, sending Adriana sprawling backwards until she collided with the throne.
"arrrrhh" Adriana groaned in pain, her body recoiling from the force of Lilith's punch. As she managed to rise, she shot a defiant glare at Lilith.
However, the serious and annoyed expression on Lilith's face made Adriana realize it was something else.... She had been in Lilith's company for many years, while they maintained a dynamic of king and subordinate before everything they were friends..... and of course, Their bond as friends meant that Adriana often bore the brunt of Lilith's frustrations.
'Someone pissed her off...!!!' Adriana's danger sense signalled the impending danger, urging her to flee. Yet, Lilith casually caught her hand, rendering escape impossible.
"I am sorry, Adriana but I am really pissed off.
Only you could withstand my punch" Lilith confessed, her tone carrying a hint of sadness, as if she truly had no other choice.
"BITC--"
"BOOM"
"BOOM"
"BOOM"
"BOOM"
"BOOM"
.....
...
..
The entire castle shook as if it teetered on the brink of collapse, each tremor echoing the powerful blows. From a distance, the Head Maid observed the castle breaking with a wry smile, acknowledging that both women were in a league of their own.
"Really powerful!" she murmured with a hint of longing. In the Fallen Continent, power held immense significance, and the Head Maid couldn't help but yearn for a strength akin to what unfolded within the castle walls.
And the rumours circulating among the Noble Counts hinted at a deeper connection between Adriana and Lilith, suggesting a romantic involvement. However, despite the speculative whispers, no one dared to confront the powerful duo.
The Head Maid, privy to these rumours, harboured a sense of displeasure at the intrusion of Asher Eli into their lives.
After an hour or so, the castle's violent tremors subsided.
Inside the castle,
"Sigh, I feel.... relieved," Lilith wiped her forehead, the air heavy with a mix of lingering tension and powerful magic.
"...." Behind her, a bloody form twitched as if uncertain whether it was alive or not.
"Come on, Heal yourself" Lilith instructed, her voice carrying a hint of both authority and.... concern?
"SSsssshhhHHH"
"Arrhh" Adriana groaned as her body parts got reattached. The room echoed with her painful moans, and the air seemed thick with the dark mana of their intense clash.
If not for her vampire healing powers, she might have succumbed to her injuries and died... she sometimes wondered whether Lilith was doing this to her because of her healing power or because she was her only friend who took everything like a punching bag.
As soon as Adriana was healed, Lilith picked her up as if she were a mere sack.
"W-Wait, Lilith, Let me--"
Both of them disappeared from the castle.
After a minute, the Head Maid arrived and surveyed the broken interior, the shattered throne.... She couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder what they're really doing" With a tinge of red hue, she started to restore the castle.
