Chapter 323 Lith joins the war

Lith looked at the Elder of the sect coming towards him with a curious gaze.

The Elder cupped his fists after coming close to Lith and greeted him. Lith greeted back by doing the same gesture.

The Elder then said, "Sir Ray, there is something important that is happening in Redstone City. If you aren't aware of it yet, please do give this elder a chance to explain it."

Lith roughly knew that there was going to be war happening. But he didn't have a good idea about it. Now that the elder had just come here on his own and was offering information, why would Lith deny it.

Lith agreed to get the explanation and the elder brief Lith on it.

There was basically war happening between the Shadow River Sect and the Senzal and Kenzal Clan. Redstone City would soon become a Conflict Zone and things would be very heated. After the elder was finished explaining, he said to Lith in a polite tone,

"If Sir Ray wishes to avoid having his hands into these waters, sir can just sit and watch this show from the sidelines. But do pardon us when war is going on as we may not be able to be much hospitable to you."

Lith shook his head and said, "No. I'll participate in this war as well."

The Elder's eyes lit up as he heard this. He became ecstatic knowing that the sect would have a powerhouse like Lith on their side.

Lith then smiled and continued, "but it obviously won't be free."

The elder nodded. "Of course, it's a given."

Lith continued, "I have a few demands and needs that the sect must fulfill. As long as those are completed, I'll do my best in this war."

The elder nodded. That's what everyone asked generally.

"Sir, I don't have much say over this matter. I think it would be best if Sir talks to the sect masters." The elder said in a polite tone.

"Very well. Let's go, I'll talk to them myself." Lith said and started walking towards the administration room where the two sect masters were.

This war that would happen soon, it would act as a good catalyst to help Lith cultivate and judging from the intensity of the war, it would end up giving Lith enough experience to break through to Rank 9 within the next 7-8 years.

For comparison, his sister became a Rank 9 when she was 24 and Lith had that benchmark to achieve. He had decided that he would try his best and hope to achieve Rank 9 by the time he was 21 and at that age, he would also marry all his lovers.

He had to hurry up and marry Emilia as he knew that if he had sex everyday with her and didn't do it in the main place, it would end up making her sexually tensed and things would be bad. Thus, Lith had to hurry up and marry her. While he was marrying her, he obviously wouldn't leave the others alone and so, he made plans to marry his lovers when he was a Rank 9 at the age of 21.

This was easier said than done. It took him a lot of time to be a Rank 3 and although he was showing signs of breakthrough, it was not a sure thing that he would be a Rank 9 by the age of 21.

Lith reached the administration room where the two sect masters were present. He greeted them and they greeted him.

The three sat and had a long discussion about the upcoming war.

Lith would be a great help to the sect since he was an assassin and could even silently infiltrate the enemy when needed and do assassinations. Add onto that, he was an Amethyst Card Holder, a one of its kind in the whole world, and was of great importance.

The sect masters tried their best to rope Lith into this war. But they also ensured that they were in their limits lest they offend Lith.

After a long discussion, it was agreed by the three that Lith would help them as much as he could and in return, the Shadow River Sect provide him with a certain amount of resources and continue to be hospitable until the end of the war.

As per what the sect masters had said, this war would last anywhere from the coming ten years to the next fifty years.

50 years was the time period the CNC gave them. They had to finish up their conflict within this given time. Redstone City can't be a Conflict Zone for longer than this.

Thus, it was decided that Lith would be associated with this sect until the end of the war. Of course, he was free to go in and out of the sect whenever he wanted. He wasn't isolated inside like the disciples.

He was an assassin and he had other things to do as well, the two sect masters knew about this. They therefore didn't restrict him. More like, they couldn't restrict him even if they wanted.

Lith bid them farewell and came back into his room. He sat cross-legged on the ground and started meditating.

A few hours later, Lith opened his eyes when he felt it was enough for today.

The first thing he noticed right as he opened his eyes were three figures. It was Emilia, Arya, and Alexandra.

"Cultivated well?" Arya asked with a smile.

Lith nodded. "Did you finish training Alexandra?"

Arya smiled and looked at Alexandra, who in turn cleared her throat and said, "big sis's training was good."

"Oh? Tell me more about it." Alexandra's praise made Lith curious to know what she did. Alexandra didn't generally compliment anyone.

"I fought and lost. We just did combat for the whole day." Alexandra said with a small smile on her face.

Arya chuckled and ruffling Alexandra's hair, she said to Lith, "she learns well when she's fighting someone."

Lith nodded. "I understand."

Lucy and him both were the same. He could relate with what Alexandra just said.

Lith then turned to look at Emilia and asked, "what about you, Emilia?"

Emilia sighed and said, "same old papers. There are so many papers I have to go through. Even though I am here now, I think I shouldn't be. There's a lot of papers left that I need to go through."

Lith and Arya chuckled as they heard this and Alexandra had a small smile on her face as well.

Lith walked towards her and hugging her, he put her face on his chest. He patted her head and said, "there, there. Rest is important as well. Don't overwork yourself."

"Mhm." Emilia hummed in understanding and hugged Lith. She had a satisfied smile on her face as she got back into Lith's embrace. This feeling was too nice and made her feel a lot of comfort.

A few seconds later, Lith said, "alright, let's have dinner. I am hungry."

Emilia's eyes lit up as she heard this and she turned her face up and looking at Lith, she asked, "are we cooking?"

Lith shook his head. "No, food will come from home."

"From home as in, from your home country Nightingale or from the Royal Castle?" Emilia asked, a bit curious.

Lith smiled and answered, "The Royal Castle."

Emilia was amused knowing this. Her boyfriend gets food from an entirely different continent on a daily basis, it felt so extravagant to her.

Arya and Alexandra had no reaction to this as they felt it was only natural that he got food from there. It was risky to eat elsewhere as he may get poisoned by people if they found out that he was the prince.

Speaking of prince, Alexandra didn't know yet that Lith was the Vampire Prince. She never asked and Lith never said about it. He kind of forgot letting her know about this as he felt that this wasn't something important. As for Alexandra, she didn't ask as well as it didn't matter to her what Lith's background was. All that mattered was he himself.

Lith texted on the castle's number and got himself seated onto the dining table present in his room along with his three ladies.

The four continued to chat while waiting for food and ten minutes later, space fluctuated near Lith and soon, a lean and tall handsome butler teleported out.

Looking at him, Emilia was about to get into a defensive stance to protect Lith and herself but she calmed her thoughts knowing that he wasn't an enemy or anything.

As for Arya, she was too strong to bother about the strength of the butler and as for Alexandra, she was too weak to know what strength the butler had.

Only Emilia, who was an Emperor Rank, knew what sort of monster was in front of her.

The butler had a smile on his face as he walked towards the dining table holding a cart full of food.

"It seems we have guests today, right, Your Highness?" The butler asked Lith politely.

Lith nodded and said, "Yes. But Noman, they aren't guests but my future wives."

The butler bowed and said, "then please pardon my previous comments. How should I address them, Your Highness?"

"Uhh… Well…" Lith had no idea what the butler should call his ladies.

Emilia cleared her throat to grab everyone's attention. "Miss would do fine for now."

"Alright, let's go with that." Lith nodded and said to Noman.

Noman nodded as well and he served the food on the table. After he was done serving, he said, "if there's anything that's needed, please let me know."

Lith nodded and said, "Thanks, Noman. We'll do that."

The butler bowed and said, "His Highness need not be so polite. It's the duty of this butler to serve the master."

"Alright, Alright, Noman, go away now. You talk too much sugar." Lith joked and made him go away.

The butler chuckled and left after bowing and showing his respect to Lith once again.

After he was gone, Arya poked her elbow on Emilia's body and said, "that was a nice reaction you had there, didn't you?"

Lith didn't know what the two were talking about, but since food had arrived and he was hungry, he ignored that bit and focused on food.

Emilia felt a bit embarrassed but said, "it isn't my fault. Anyone would have such a reaction if they see an Emperor Rank just teleport close to you out of nowhere."

Alexandra's ears perked up as she heard this. The butler was an Emperor Rank? She felt it to be unbelievable and looked at Lith.

Lith, feeling Alexandra's gaze, turned his head to look at her. "Yes?"

Alexandra asked curiously, "darling, was the butler who came just now an Emperor Rank?"

Lith sipped on some tea and said, "yes, why?"

"What!?"
