Chapter 9: Heavy discussion(2) (1/2)
”A woman?”
He echoed in wonder.
'What the fuck is she saying?'
A sad smile formed on Lilith's face,
”Do not underestimate the means of a woman. Do you know this saying? Beauties are the bane of heroes.”
”I do not wish for you to meet such a stupid end. For all his power, your father was very poor at handling women. How to say this… He was too dense? Too easily flustered by women? I never understood why despite all his power he became a total mess when facing women.”
She sighed as she said, ”Since your father succumbed because of such a stupid reason, there's no way I would let you commit the same mistake.”
She took a deep breath, making her cleavage move up and down, ”Accustoming yourself to women is a part of learning to be a king. Since ancient times, many kings have met their downfall in their lust, your father being the most recent. You must have a thorough knowledge of female sexuality. Please think of women as nothing more than a decoration for your bed.”
”But…”
Sol tried to protest, but Lilith raised her voice further.
”First of all, a royal has a duty to sire many children. You are the last man of the Lustburg family. Do you know why I have so many beautiful maids all over the palace? All those girls are either slaves or commoners I carefully selected and groomed. All of them for you. You can do whatever you want with them.”
”Whatever I want…?”
Taken in by her intensity, Sol's mind grew blank as his aunt licked her red lips.
”Yes, whatever you want. You are free to prepare them however you like before devouring them. Toy with them and dye them in whatever colors you wish. And once you have raised them into splendid love slaves, you will have grown to be a true man. And most importantly, that will allow them to repay you for everything we have done for them.”
”Love slaves…?”
He couldn't help but be drawn by the vision his aunt was showing, finally, he let out a sigh as he said,
”I understand. I believe everything you say. But…”
He got up and took a slice of bread, as he went away,
”...I also know that you are still hiding something from me.” On those words, he simply left the dining room without turning back.
The very moment Sol went away, a shadow finally appeared out of nowhere before standing behind Lilith,
”Your majesty, was it wise?”
Lilith, without turning back let out a smile, ”Hiding everything wouldn't be educational. As such, I let out some hints. At least he managed to understand I was still hiding the full truth.”
”Your majesty…”
”I know, do not worry, I would never play around with the life of someone as dear to me. If he is unable to handle the waves that are coming, then he isn't fit to be a king. As such I will simply take the throne from him and allow him to live the remainder of his life in such luxury that even the greatest kings would be jealous.”
”...Those are traitorous words your majesty.”
A chill seemed to cover the whole room as the voice of the woman changed from apathetic to ferocious.
”Traitorous?”
The chill was immediately drowned out by an even larger pressure, making the shadow nearly kneel, Lilith, turned to face this shadow,
”You have been serving the crow's shadow as one of the fingers since as long as I could remember. But, never and I say never again underestimate my love for Sol. This kingdom can burn for all I care. But I will do my best for Sol to live in happiness.”
The shadow struggled to move, but still nodded.
”Understood.”
At the same moment, the pressure vanished as if it was a lie. A large smile forming on Lilith face,
”See? I knew we could understand each other.”
Only one thought went through the head of the shadow at this moment
