Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Saint Rank

Chapter 456 Saint Rank

The Fourth Volume: The Elven Continent

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

"So you're telling me, you ascended to Saint Rank directly from Rank 9!?" Lucy exclaimed in utter shock.

Anyone would have the same reaction if they were told this, Lucy being no exception.

Emilia and Alexandra also had the same shock written all over their faces and they looked at Lith with a questioning gaze.

Lith and his wives were sitting around a round table in the courtyard and discussing things over tea.

After Lith's ascension ended in the Astral World, he was out of there and came back home in his original body.

A while later, here he was, discussing things with his wives and answering all their questions.

Lith looked at Emilia, Alexandra, and Lucy, and said calmly, "that's right. A few things happened and I became a Saint Rank."

Lucy still felt it was unbelievable and she couldn't help but say, "how is such a miracle possible"

Lith took a sip of tea and said softly, "even I have no idea."

Lucy soon gave up thinking about it and said with a bright smile to Lith, "In any case, congratulations for becoming an immortal. I am very proud of you and you are also the reason for my pride."

Lucy was very happy and the same was the case with the other ladies.

Ascension to Half Saint Rank at the young age of twenty-one was unheard of let alone ascension to Saint Rank. The ladies were bound to feel pride in their husband for such a heaven defying feat.

"Congratulations, darling." Alexandra said with a smile.

Looking at everyone congratulating Lith, Emilia knew she had to do so as well. She wanted to say this in private but now the situation called for it, she could only blush slightly and say,

"Congratulations, husband."

She wasn't used to calling Lith husband in the open yet. It hadn't been long since they got married and she would need a bit of time to do so. Of course, she was alright with calling Lith husband intimately in private without any qualms.

Lith looked at them and said softly with a gentle smile, "thank you, everyone. I am truly grateful for your well wishes."

Emilia then asked the important question, "So, what happened in the Astral World?"

Before Lith could answer, Arya, with her usual blindfold on, looked at Emilia and said with a smile,

"He created a big scene there. It was very flashy but he did undergo ascension."

Her words had a lot of hidden information and she didn't reveal the complete truth. She didn't want Emilia, Alexandra or Lucy to get worried like how she was. Knowing about the situation in the Astral World would only stress them out. It was better to keep it put and not let them know.

The feeling of knowing her husband was in great danger but not being able to help and only look was a horrible experience for Arya. She still hid this behind her usual jolly expression and pretended as if nothing happened.

The ladies here would eventually feel this as well if Arya explained to them the situation in the Astral World. Thus, hiding it was for the best.

Lith looked at her with slight surprise but eventually understood why she said that. Sometimes it was better to be quiet and not say too many things. It would only hurt your loved ones.

Emilia felt something was off but couldn't point it where. Being with Arya for so many years, she knew a lot about her. But Arya's abilities were still something Emilia couldn't match yet.

Lith then turned his head to look at his mother who had been quiet all this while. It wasn't like her to stay so quiet but he could understand her emotions as well.

Lilith was sitting calmly beside Lith but her emotions were in a mess and her thoughts were chaotic. She was constantly trying to figure out who it was that was trying to harm Lith and why only the Astral World and not somewhere else?

Lith had been to Astral World thrice by now.

It wasn't a good thing and Lilith needed answers to this.

Her future self had told her not to worry as she would eventually get the answers, but a mother's heart could never risk the safety of her child.

Lith, noticing the evident worries on his mother's face, placed his hand on top of hers and said, "Mom, please ease your worries."

Lilith broke out of her thoughts and looked at Lith. Noticing his gentle expression, her worries did ease slightly but it wasn't for long when she turned to the side and got up.

Lilith held Lith's face with her palms and bending down and looking him straight in the eyes, she said with knitted brows,

"Why can't you be safe?"

This was a question Lilith knew was pointless to ask since even Lith had no answers to it, but she couldn't help but ask anyway.

Lith could only awkwardly smile as he heard that and stay quiet.

The other ladies, except Arya, wondered what caused such a reaction in Lilith.

Lilith then sighed as she realized what she just asked. She then changed her question and asked,

"Lith, promise mama, you'll not do anything risky and always stay safe."

Lith knew things were serious when his mother called him by his name instead of the usual 'baby'. He understood the gravity of the situation but he couldn't promise something like this to his mother.

He placed his hand on hers and said softly while looking her in the eyes,

"I am sorry, mom. But I can't promise something like that. But I can assure you I'll always calculate risks before taking them."

This was a world of Swords and Magic and there was no way one wouldn't be in a risky situation or have their life threatened. Lith would be lying to his mother and break the promise if he agreed to that.

Lilith's eyes became moist and a drop of tear fell down her eye.

"Why must you get hurt"

Lith didn't waste time and hugged his mother. He placed her head on his chest and patted her back, trying to ease her worries.

Lilith, although a very strong woman, couldn't help but have a breakdown thinking of the past moment when Lith was almost about to die. That was such a helpless moment and thinking about it still brought shivers to her.

She didn't want Lith to get hurt again like that and she wanted him to promise her this. But she knew she was asking for far too much and there was no way such a thing would be possible.

But a mother was a mother and she couldn't risk losing her child.

Lilith never had such a breakdown before in all her life. Even in the worst of times, she never cried and even in the harshest situations didn't make her falter.

But now, feeling the helplessness of the situation and watching her child almost die brought great sadness to Lilith.

Her children were the only thing that mattered to her. Power, riches, everything else was secondary and she didn't give two fucks about it.

Lilith's happiness was in her children's and her entire life revolved only around these two people.

Lith and Lucy were Lilith's whole world.

Lith was starting to understand this and this breakdown of his mother made him further understand this emotion.

Lucy had no idea why her mother was so sad but looking at her be like that, she was feeling really bad as well.

Emilia and Alexandra couldn't understand their mother-in-law's situation and as for Arya, her world was Lith as well and she could understand Lilith's emotions fully well.

Arya would've broken down as well but she controlled herself and could only hide it.

Arya didn't want to make Emilia, Alexandra, and Lucy have hints about the situation in the Astral World.

Lilith broke down because the pain she suffered was far more than Arya's. Arya only knew that Lith's life was in danger and she was in a helpless situation, but Lilith had experienced Lith's life fade away and had Arya experienced this, she would've broken down right now as well.

The feeling of having your loved one die would make even the strongest of man cry and break down.

Lith patted his mother's back and prayed for her betterment.
