Chapter 992 Phone Addiction
Chapter 992 Phone Addiction
A month passed.
Someone was ascending and Lith was watching this someone with great interest.
How could he not? His cute, submissive and masochist maid's growth was something he really looked forward to.
It took quite a while for Luna to defeat the Ink Deaths. They were quasi Supreme Rank in strength and she was just an Emperor Rank.
Those four monsters were really annoying. After one died, its energy would be distributed to the rest of the three, powering them up. Like that, defeating the fourth and the last Ink Death took a big toll on Luna, but she eventually did it.
The energy of the Ink Deaths flowed inside her, immediately starting her ascension.
Luna's main affinity lay with Dark, so she benefited greatly from the Ink Deaths.
She was ascending outside the castle because she couldn't make it to the Ascension Hall in time. It was not a problem, however, as the Ascension Hall instead came to her.
Lith was surprised to find out this thing could be moved. His clan sure had a lot of goodies he had no idea about.
Luna's tribulation descended on her, but everything was blurry for Lith's eyes as it was too powerful to even look at. Having defeated quasi Supremes, this tribulation hit her even harder.
No one below Emperor Rank was able to see what Luna was going through and it was pretty anticlimactic in Lith's opinion.
He stayed by his sister's side and watched the blurry things. They both talked about the possible things happening and their mother periodically briefed them on this as well.
In ten days, Luna's external tribulation was over. It was then time for the internal one.
Luna sat down in a lotus position and her figure once again became blurry.
Lilith stated that this was a transcendent state where one's half in the material world and half in another realm. It was an ethereal experience and felt as good as having soft, gentle sex after a long day of hard work.
The last part didn't need to be said, but Lith could somewhat understand how it would feel. He and Lucy both thought of the same things and looked forward to the future.
It took a whole month for Luna to finish with her internal tribulation. Lucy had left after a few days of watching, and Lith was waiting to congratulate Luna, but he was now told that she wouldn't get out of her meditative state for a few years as she had to consolidate her cultivation.
It was a pity, but Lith could only shake his head and go back to manipulating the world in the shadows.
He was back on the rooftop of the castle. The Lake of Bewitchment was as calm as ever.
Lith had a look at his trusty tablet and found a few interesting pieces of news.
The Vampire nobles fought back!
Under the leadership of Duchess Rivera Adelstein, the nobles fought a digital as well as a physical and mental warfare.
The Internet was restricted and people did not have access to the rest of the world, but seeing how it did not change much, the nobles completely cut it off, making the plebeians go in panic.
Children were the unhappiest group in this. They cried a lot because they couldn't see their favorite cartoon, play their favorite games, or even chat online on their phones and tablets. Even a really poor child had access to a phone as they were cheap to make, so even they were spoiled by it and suffering through withdrawal syndrome.
Lately, food and water wasn't as much in need as a phone. A child could live without eating and drinking, but not without using the phone.
Now, Lith would've usually taken pity on them and done something like making a internet zone where the shelters for children were, but then clicked his tongue and said:
"No, those internet addicted brats need to go through a detox. Let them cry."
Kids have forgotten the beauty of the world lately. Social interaction among the youngsters was at a bare minimum which had to be changed.
Lith saw that teens complaining on forums were in massive numbers. They were stating they couldn't get laid, were feeling sluggish, not motivated, and so on.
This was all a result of a sedentary lifestyle and using the damn phone!
To tackle these problems, as their benevolent Prince, he naturally would give them solutions.
The solution to this problem was quickly complied under project, codenamed:
Touch Grass!
More activities would be available to kids under this project, a lot of balls, a lot of sports events, and a lot of competitions with prize money and such. It should motivate them to work hard and lose their internet addiction.
To implement this project, Lith looked at which maid was free so he could give them this work. It was all society related business, so he could use the Royal Servants too. However, in the list of people that were, he saw Fei and Sylvia's name at the top.
This duo who were generational enemies had suddenly turned into a pair that complimented each other.
By making them work separately, Lith was actually not using their full potential. It couldn't be helped though. Sylvia had to work with a variety of people so that she would understand that people were nice and warm, given she met the right ones.
Lith was secretly getting assessments of Sylvia from the people she worked with. So far, Hecate stated that she could feel Sylvia's indifference collapsing from time to time when she saw suffering Witches. They seemed similar to herself, so she could sympathize and help.
Other times, Sylvia's indifference would vanish only when she was with her black Labrador puppy. The two were an inseparable pair.
A day had come when Zen had to be left away for a while. He was kidnapped by a group because he looked peculiar and majestic. This group poked the puppy many times, hoping something good would come out of it.
What ended up happening was Sylvia feeling mildly concerned and annoyed by Zen's kidnapping. She said she wasn't angry, but she tortured the kidnappers and left them alive, which was much crueler than simply letting them die.
Fanny had stated similar things about her.
Lith was happy with the development. He could now initiate phase two of his plans with her.
A being that had been in pain for many thousand years couldn't be changed within one day. This was extremely fast progress that was happening.
"Now… I'm not a narcissist… but I definitely am a genius." Lith shamelessly praised himself.
He went back to looking at his tablet screen and called in Fei and Sylvia.
Fei was still in a butler outfit while Sylvia's complexion had greatly improved, and she was now a tall, sexy Witch with all the right curves hidden beneath her maid uniform.
Lith looked at Fei and said with amusement, "How long are you going to wear those clothes, Fei? Are you permanently planning to be a tomboy?"
A rosy complexion surfaced Fei's face, but she tried to suppress it and gritted her teeth. 'It was you who didn't dismiss me from this, Master…'
"Anyway, if you like to wear such types of clothes, there's a whole plethora of them available. Change into some made for ladies. That aside, I want you to go all around the world and…"
There were indeed shirts and trousers made for women. His wife Arya wore them everyday, and they looked quite sexy on her. Lith didn't know how Fei would look in those though. In any case, that was a topic for later.
The instructions took a few minutes, and once done, Lith dismissed Fei.
He then turned to Sylvia. Instead of speaking, he got up from his seat and walked up to her.
Sylvia looked at him with a neutral face, nothing seemingly going on in her mind.
Lith stood in front of her, who was almost as tall as him, and smiled gently, his amethyst eyes softly staring at her and making her feel at ease.
As Sylvia relaxed herself, Lith held her hand and rubbed the back off her palm with his thumb. "You're doing good."
Sylvia bowed slightly in response.
Lith patted her head and said with a smile, "Do you want to go on a date as your reward? Or do you want something else?"
He gave Sylvia a choice, but it wasn't actually a choice. He was a master manipulator now and although he didn't like doing it with his own maids, with Sylvia, it was necessary as she herself didn't know what she wanted.
This Witch did not have a will to live and Lith took it upon himself to give her something. He did say he'll tell her about love, but it wasn't something that can be planned or rushed.
One had to do things slowly, which is what Lith did by making her hang out with Keith and Fanny, then do missions with others and Fei. Trust and companionship were the most basics of love. He felt Sylvia was well-versed with them and was now ready for a date.
As Lith had expected, Sylvia couldn't come up with something she wanted as a reward. She barely had any materialistic attachments or worldly connections. Hence, she went with the flow and accepted Lith's offer.
ƈοm "Alright. We'll go on a date later then." Lith said with his signature charming smile.
Sylvia nodded her head with an expressionless face. She was not thinking anything about this.
Lith then gave her some work and dismissed her.
He sat back down on his chair and began looking at the current affairs.
A while into it, Lith came across a video of a few Vampires having sex. It was a bit important as these were noble Vampires.
He needed more information on them, so he decided to call in a maid.
Lith once again went through his contact list and found a few free maids. His gaze fell at the name available at top, and this made him wonder, 'Hmm? How's she free?'
