Chapter 148: Discussion with lilith (1) (1/2)

”That one success was a girl. Her name is...Lilith.”

At those words, Sol felt his mind explode as understanding dawned upon him.

In some myths from the earth, Lilith was the wife of Adam before Eve and she was also one of the first four succubus queens.

If he wasn't wrong, Neptune should also be someone reincarnated, then it was no wonder he had given her such a name.

He also remembered that when he discussed with Lilin after she came back from her adventure, she had mentioned her meeting with a purple-haired princess from Envilya.

Even though all succubus had purple hair, Sol had not paid any attention to this.

After all, purple hair wasn't a unique feature like the blue eyes and golden hair combo for Blesseds.

But,

”If he succeeded, why was she unable to use magic?”

All human hybrids should be able to awaken their own personal attributes at the age of 15 alongside their awakening.

But for Lilith, not only did she not awaken an attribute, but even her Capacity was at an impressive 0. Something that should be impossible because even the lowest of the low peasants would have at least a few points of capacity.

Gerald gave a sad smile,

”Only humans can have a Capacity...And only magical beings can have an attribute and a Quality.”

Sol didn't need more as he immediately reached a conclusion.

”She isn't human.”

Gerald confirmed as he said calmly,

”Lilith isn't a hybrid. In the eyes of the world, she is neither human nor succubus. Not even something in between.”

”Her birth was something that should have never been possible. It's something akin to a miracle. At the same time, it's something that goes against every rule of this world.”

Hearing this, Sol couldn't help but remember one of his discussions with Lilith.

<<I was born cursed and blessed at the same time.>>

Back then, he thought she was saying so because of her lack of talent despite her royal origin.

Now it seemed that her words had a far deeper meaning.

It was then that he remembered something.

”What about Lilin?”

Like how Lilith was the first succubus, Lilin, or rather, the Lilin was the name given to the daughters of Lilith.

What's more, like Lilith, Lilin was also a being with zero Capacity, and no attribute.

Gerald looked deeply at Sol,

”If I have to be honest, I do not know. Back then, I was already sick and tired of all those experiments, so I left. But what I do know is that…”

”What is it?”

”...Lilith is unable to give birth.”

After leaving the facility through the gate, Sol walked unsteadily, deep in thought while Milia walked behind him. Her expression clouded in worries.

Before he knew he was already standing in front of the door of Lilith's bedroom.

Raising his hand, he was about to knock on the door, but just as his hand was about to touch the door, he stopped.

There was nothing he wished more than to rush there and now, but if he did so, he would not be able to talk logically and could end up making the situation even worse.

Closing his eyes, Sol took a deep breath...

So what if Lilith was some sort of homunculus? It wasn't as if it changed anything about her.

Why was he showing such an unsightly display when what he should do is to stand tall and strong?

Feeling his erratic heartbeats slowly slow down and his heated mind cool down, Sol slowly exhaled and finally opened his eyes.
