"What became easier for you, my aide?"
It was night time and even though Lith wasn't on duty, she couldn't help but tease him.
Playing along, Lith smiled and answered, "Your Majesty, I am not your aide."
"Oh?" Agalea stopped leaning on the wall.
She made a playful smile and walking towards him, asked, "If you're not my aide, then who are you?"
She reached Lith and, putting her hand on his shoulder, continued, "I don't like uninvited people in my castle."
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm Lith could see his aunt was in the mood to be playful and was trying to tease him.
But little did she know…
Agalea's hand that was on Lith's shoulder, he placed his own hand on top of it and looking at her, asked with a soft smile,
"You really wanna know who I am?"
Agalea nodded lightly. "Yes, who are—"
Lith gave a light jerk forwards to Agalea by pushing her hand on his shoulder behind him.
Lith gave a light jerk to Agalea's hand on his shoulder, making her balance topple for a split second and fall forwards.
Agalea was taken aback by this gesture and in this split second of her surprise and confusion, Lith took the opportunity to pull her in his embrace and hugged her.
Having caught Agalea, he made her face up and looked at his cute aunt's face. Lith then flashed a gentle smile and answered,
"I am your long lost lover. It has been so long since the time I last saw you. Look at you..."
Lith leaned forwards and raised Agalea's face slightly. He softened his tone and continued,
"...you're still as beautiful as the day I first saw you."
Badum!
Agalea's heart skipped a beat as she heard that.
'W-W-WHAT IS HAPPENING!?' She screamed internally as things backfired.
Her face couldn't help but be flushed, however, being a Supreme Rank, she managed to cover it and not express to Lith that she was embarrassed by his teasing.
Lith smirked looking at her face. Even if she tried to hide things, there was still her body language that Lith could read and understand how she was feeling.
Flirting was in Lith's blood. He had mastered the art of teasing after years of saying cringe pickup lines to his wives, and became a force to reckon with.
His might was so much that even a Supreme Rank like Agalea felt her heart skip a beat due to Lith's teasing.
Even though Agalea wasn't interested in Lith romantically, Lith still managed to make her blush and embarrassed.
Not letting Agalea recover from this shock, Lith held her face with both his hands and rubbing his thumb on Agalea's cheek, said softly,
"Hey… look at me."
Agalea had no idea why, but she obeyed Lith's command.
It was only after she looked at his face did she realize she had done exactly what he had asked her and became further embarrassed.
But this time Agalea completely covered her expression, not showing Lith anything that she may be thinking.
'What is he doing… no… how is he doing all of this!? How!? And why am I stupidly obeying his commands which are disguised as soft and gentle requests. How is he so good at this!!?' Agalea's mind was filled with random thoughts and she completely forgot the position she was currently in.
Looking at her be so lost while being in his embrace, Lith chuckled internally and thought to himself, 'Oops… I accidentally flirted a bit too much. I should control myself or I might accidentally add aunt into my harem.'
Lith joked with himself about the current situation.
But just as thought about the harem topic, he realized something.
Lith wasn't actively trying to make his harem bigger, but looking at how the circumstances were pushing him, like the case with Luna and then Lucifer, he felt maybe he should just go with the flow and not try rejecting them.
He didn't know about other ladies, but Lucifer sure was going to be in his harem sooner or later.
It was something Lith was aware and even if he didn't try, she would come at him and kidnap him to have sex with her.
Better to control her than to get controlled by her was the situation with Lucifer.
Whatever the circumstances may be, harem sure was going to expand and looking at Agalea here, Lith could smell a potential wife.
Lith had been through Neo's memories and he was well aware how the behaviour of women was.
The things he learnt were that to coax an inexperienced lady, all you needed to do was make her feel loved and happy. Make her be comfortable around you, flirt, but in a reserved manner, and have her experience many new things together.
It takes time if one wanted to score an inexperienced lady.
However, the experienced ladies were a completely different batch.
To score them was easy. All one needed to do was first see if they were single or not. If they were single, all one had to do was make sure to go on many dates and make them feel comfortable.
Since they are experienced, they wouldn't have reservations about sleeping together and after showing them your skills, voila, they are yours.
As for the married ladies, things were even more simple.
If one could break their conscience barrier and show them they were better than their husbands, one could bag the married milfs.
Agalea's case, despite having a child, was the same as a teenage girl who has never fallen in love.
Lith was aware that although she was well-versed with motherhood, the same wasn't the case about love.
Knowing so much about her, Lith could thus easily make her feel embarrassed.
A minute passed with Lith having so many thoughts and Agalea having her own.
The flow of time was different for immortals and what may seem like a minute wouldn't even be a second for them.
Due to this, Agalea wasn't aware for how long she was in Lith's embrace.
Lith, having snapped out of his thoughts, let out a chuckle, making Agalea snap out of her thoughts.
Having her attention, he looked into her eyes and said playfully again, "Young lady, how long are you going to be in my embrace? Have you perhaps fallen in love with me?"
Lith sent a wink after saying so.
Realisation dawned upon Agalea and she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
If she weren't an experienced person, she would've already jumped out.
But knowing that doing such a thing would only express that she was embarrassed, Agalea first put on a neutral expression and slowly got out of Lith's embrace.
She then did a light cough and having the same poker face, she said, "let's stop with the jokes. Anyway, getting back to the topic, what were you doing in the courtyard, nephew Lith?"
She swiftly changed topics without making things more awkward between her and Lith.
Lith internally chuckled looking at her change things. She did it very smoothly, but Lith of course could read all her expressions as if she were an open book.
Lith put on a normal smiling face and answered, "I was investigating a few things."
"What did you find?" Agalea asked, interested.
"The solution to the major problems." Lith answered.
"Oh? Tell me." Agalea's interest rose.
Lith smiled and shook his head. "Not now, aunt. I'll tell you the steps you need to take and everything regarding it in a few weeks. I currently have something else that I need to do so I'll be out of the castle for a while."
"What thing?"
Lith shook his head. "Can't say. I'll go hand over things to Jasmine and take my leave tomorrow. I am so sorry, but it's urgent work that came up."
Agalea smiled hearing that. She patted Lith's shoulder and replied, "You don't have to be sorry. But be back soon, alright? The elves need you."
Although Agalea was saying things as a form of common courtesy, she internally wanted Lith to be back soon too.
These three months Lith was here, they were amazing and Agalea and Alea both had a really good time.
Leaving things about her, Agalea was sure that Alea would be very sad to see Lith be gone. After so many years, Alea finally found someone she could be with without any qualms and it would sadden her a lot to see him go.
Thankfully, Lith wasn't going anywhere for now and was just on a leave for some work he had. He should be back in a while and Agalea could keep Alea's mood in check in the meantime.
Lith chatted with Agalea for a while and both came to a common consensus that Lith shouldn't say goodbye to Alea as she wouldn't let him go.
After Lith was done talking with Agalea, he went to Jasmine and briefed her over things.
Once that was done, Lith asked Jasmine to bring Ren to him. That guy was in Alea's clutches temporarily and Lith had no idea what torture he was handling. Whatever it may be, Lith felt he deserved it.
Jasmine soon brought the white ball of floof and handed it to Lith.
Saying goodbye to Jasmine and holding Ren in his hands, Lith looked at him and asked with a smile,
"You ready for some new adventures?"
