Ten years passed.
Under the orange moonlight of the Dragon Continent stood a tall figure, his calm back facing a mighty metallic door.
The figure gazed at the vast kingdom that lay ahead of him as multiple experiences flashed right in his amethyst purple eyes.
Light from various establishments illuminated the entire kingdom, bringing life in the darkness of night.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Isn't it serene?" A soft voice rang in the ears of the tall silver-haired figure.
Without turning to the voice's source, the silver head, in a gentle tone, said, "Yes."
No more words were exchanged after this short conversation as the two stood by each other's side and gazed at this beautiful night landscape.
A decade had passed in the blink of an eye and the now immortal Lith felt as if it were a mere few months.
For a whole decade, he had done nothing but train.
The strength and condition training lasted for a year at first, but Lith was then shifted to being trained into leadership abilities.
He was sent right back to the Raguel Kingdom to solve their issues and lead the people towards greatness.
When Mayzin had sent Lith there, she fully expected him to act like a brute, kill everybody, take the throne, then lead them all towards greatness.
He was a royal by birth and naturally knew all the ins and outs of managing a kingdom. It shouldn't be too big of a challenge to make a kingdom rise.
Mayzin had these thoughts and had setup an appropriate training session for him, but Lith went above and beyond her expectations by completely flipping everything she had thought of.
The first and the foremost thing, Lith simply didn't rule over the people, surprising Mayzin.
He never took the throne and always stayed in the shadows, pulling the string behind everyone's backs.
Lith had taken control of various people and organizations within the kingdom and they had all become his puppets.
The puppet master Lith made them dance according to his tunes and this surprised Mayzin greatly.
The very first thing Lith did was find Alvin, the heir of the kingdom, and turned him into his main puppet.
He made Alvin reconcile with Ino even though she was a bitch and tried to kill him.
Lith didn't have time to see them go against each other's throats and made them get together at the earliest.
It was easy to do so as Alvin was a virgin and he simply made Ino pop his cherry and show him a glimpse of the erotic la la land.
A good pussy changed a man, and Alvin was no exception to this. He was head over heels for Ino and exploiting this thing, Lith made the two work hard.
Lith himself worked hard alongside the two and he was the one who made a thousand situations arise where things had all gone in Alvin and Ino's favour.
For example, Lith pulled some strings and made the nearby kingdoms form an alliance with the Raguel Kingdom.
He made this possible by giving the nearby kingdom an imaginary threat of the other kingdoms in the province.
Lith showed the plague and the natural disasters in the Raguel Kingdom to those guys and made them understand that there was some power wanting to take control of these guys.
He also brought some small disasters here and there to bring some assurance about the attackers being real.
This panic caused the nearby kingdoms to fall into confusion and exploiting this, he slowly turned them into each other's ally.
The alliances were easily formed and it was all thanks to marriages.
Apparently, the Prince and the Princess of nearby kingdoms had 'accidentally' met and 'accidentally' fallen in love with each other.
Since they were the main family members, they were given great importance and thus marriages occurred.
This thing was what was out in the open for everybody to know.
The real story was that everything happened for a reason and most of it was due to Lith.
Lith forced the old farts of the nearby kingdoms to form alliances and marriage was the only easy way. They thus orchestrated the accidental love thing and got their kids married.
Since two kingdoms came into an alliance, the third kingdom felt afraid of them and then joined hands with the Raguel Kingdom for their own security.
This caused some tension to arise in the group, but Lith eventually made them join each other so that they would peacefully coexist and not attack each other.
This alliance was a major boost to everything. Trade and commerce was heavily influenced and was growing exponentially.
The Raguel Kingdom saw prosperity after a long while and then one day, a merchant caravan that was passing by, stopped in their place and learnt of the majesty of this kingdom.
Impressed, those guys offered some good trades and the Raguel Kingdom became more prosperous.
This merchant caravan was Yuwen's doing as per Lith's instruction.
He made the trade possible and got the Raguel Kingdom connected to the World Merchant's Association.
This turned out to be really profitable for both the Raguel Kingdom and Yuwen.
Yuwen established himself in the Dragon Continent, all thanks to Lith, and the Raguel went global and sold their products everywhere due to the merchant caravan.
Even without involving himself directly, Lith had managed to break all records there were and completely knocked Mayzin's socks off.
Raguel Kingdom became super rich and with such wealth came greatness and with greatness came strength.
The kingdom became the leader of the alliance and eventually the alliance became the strongest powerhouse in the province.
This all happened within the span of ten years and just went on to show that if Lith wanted to, he could lead anybody even without actually leading them.
They say that an apple doesn't fall far from the tree and it was quite true in Lith's case.
Lilith didn't like ruling as well and chose to do it indirectly. Lith was her son and naturally inherited such traits from his mother.
The Raguel Kingdom had eventually made great profits and entered the low ranks of the top richest kingdoms in the Dark Dragon Tribe.
This was a big success and they were all partying, which could be seen with the many shining lights that Lith and Mayzin were currently gazing at.
There was a feast in the kingdom and people were partying due to turning so high and mighty. Their loud noises could be felt even at a great distance.
The large metallic door that was behind Lith, it belonged to the rundown Raguel castle.
A few years ago, in this castle, a Gate manifested out of nowhere and brought about great panic.
Lith made these guys evacuate this place and shifted their whole capital, leaving behind only this palace.
Behind this giant door was the very Gate, but currently it was sealed so that no one accidentally entered or appeared from within it.
Lith was curious about this Gate, but he would check this out later.
As of now, ten years was quite a long period of time since he had been away from his wives and he wanted to see them.
Though, he was sure that his wives were doing just fine, except probably his mother.
The ladies really didn't feel much of a difference even though their husband was not in contact for ten years. As to them, this whole time simply felt like a few weeks or even days and they were fine with it.
When Lith was asleep for almost eight decades, they had managed themselves, so just ten years were nothing.
Still, Lith was aware that ten years had passed and was in a stage where he hadn't completely assimilated with the time perceptions.
He was really longing to see them, however…
When Lith had finished staring at his accomplishments, that is, the Raguel Kingdom in front, he turned to look at Mayzin and smiled.
Lith's smile somehow made Mayzin slightly uncomfortable, but she didn't voice it out.
"Cute aunt, isn't it about time?" Lith asked calmly, but with the smile still on.
"Time for?" Mayzin feigned ignorance and asked.
She didn't want to admit to anything and thought being ignorant would have her get away from her responsibilities.
While still smiling, Lith walked close to Mayzin and placing both his hands on her shoulders, looked her in the eyes and asked, "You surely haven't forgotten about the date, have you?"
In this one decade, there was no way Lith wasn't going to flirt with Mayzin. Despite getting very little time, at least he had managed to convince her into going out on a date with him.
The training took most of his time and it was due to this that he wasn't able to properly give her much attention. Had that been the case, Lith probably would've been in his aunt's pants by now.
Nothing to worry about though. Some things took time and it was alright.
This tsundere aunt of his would slowly be made to break out of her shell. She wouldn't succumb so easily, and Lith didn't want to either.
The harder it was, the better were the rewards.
As Lith reminded Mayzin of the date, Mayzin sighed internally and thought to herself, 'There's no running away from this…'
