Chapter 1061 Lizbeth's Heaven And Hell

SLAM!

A large metallic door of an unknown room in the outer circle was slammed open by a significantly harmless human.

With great strides, this human walked into a brightly lit hall with an opening ceiling.

Tens of furnaces with fierce flames under them were lined in a circle in the middle of the room, right at the place where the crimson moonlight seeped in.

One couldn't make out whether the red hue in the room came from the flames or the moonlight.

A strong medicinal scent lingered in the room despite there being proper ventilation facilities.

Lizbeth, smelling this scent, felt herself melt in its glory.

It was so pleasant, so warm, so floral! She was on cloud nine!

As if possessed, Lizbeth dashed in the room and checked up each furnace one by one.

"Wow, the flames are not ordinary!"

"What the— these are not flames but the pure Fire element?!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! These aren't blue flames but the Water element mixed with Lightning that's producing continuous sparks! How is this possible!?"

In just ten minutes, Lizbeth finished analyzing every furnace and her gaze then fell on the rows of shelves lined at one side of the hall. There was an arched passageway at the other side and it was giving off a thick scent of freshly cut grass and wet soil after the first rain.

Lizbeth was momentarily baffled and wondered where she should go. It didn't take her long to come to a decision and she chose the passage as it was closer to her.

She ran towards it and in the next few moments…

"Wooaaaaahhhh~!"

"Hahahahaha! I'm in heaven! Heaven!"

Lith and the butlers behind him heard her loud voice.

Unlike the maids in the inner circle who were informed to greet the masters and move on, the butlers of the outer circle were left in the dark. They did not know that they weren't supposed to follow Lith.

It was for this fact that a row of butlers were standing behind him, their expressions tense. The aura coming from Lith was similar to the one they felt from their Madam.

With his wide back facing them and the domineering stance he stood at, the butlers all had a thought.

'Oh how strong His Highness has become…'

'In the blink of an eye, he isn't the same cute child that roamed around the castle with no care in the world.'

The butlers… despite feeling an aura that could kill them ten times over in an instant, were actually having thoughts like that of an uncle.

They couldn't help it. They had been with him ever since he was a child.

The Princess was not as socializing as the Prince when she was his age. She was a bit cold and reserved, hence the maidservants did not have much interaction with her. They did have similar feelings for her, but not as intense as they were for Lith.

Like Lilith, the Royal Servants too loved both Lith and Lucy equally. However, there were times such as these when they couldn't help themselves from adoring one more.

If Lith knew the thoughts these butlers were having, his cultivation in the dao of shamelessness would shatter, giving him a heart demon of embarrassment.

Thankfully, the Royal Servants did not look like they were going to speak about it and stood calmly in their spots with a professional, neutral look on their faces, ready to follow any command Lith had for them.

It had only been a few seconds since Lizbeth went in, but there was a continuous stream of cheerful noises from inside.

Lith thought of not following her inside because he had a hunch on how she would react, but curiosity still got the best of him and he walked inside.

The passage led to a thick white-colored barrier which was actually a gate that led to another dimension.

Liz sure had balls to barge into a gate like that without thinking twice.

Lith walked in and found himself in a tiny world full of multicolored plants and trees.

The trees were neatly lined in rows, in between were the medicinal plants.

As the world was tiny, walking for thirty minutes would have Lith complete a full circle. The trees and plants could be seen curving and disappearing in the horizon through naked eyes.

In front of him, Liz was sinking in the medicinal plants and rolling around, having the time of her life.

This place was definitely her wonderland.

As Lith walked close to her, Lizbeth noticed him and got up to see him. There was a big smile on her face while dirt covered her lab coat and some leaves could be seen camouflaged into her hair. If the leaves weren't a shade darker, noticing them through the naked eyes would be difficult.

"Go— Your Highness!" Lizbeth walked up to Lith and exclaimed while holding both his hands.

"What place is this? Where are we? Is this heaven? Have I died? Did you bring me to the afterlife?"

One after another, Liz shot an array of questions at Lith without taking a single breath.

Lith let her ask many questions as she wanted and didn't interrupt. Only when she stopped did he say calmly, "You're not dead, but you will be if you keep asking so many questions."

"Heh." Liz smirked and extended her hand out in a T pose.

She fell down freely on the soft plant bed and rolled around again, giggling like a child.

"…"

Was it just him or was understanding Liz getting harder by the day? Or was it just her getting stupider and infecting Lith with her stupidity?

Even Alea wasn't this troublesome despite being mischievous.

Lith squatted down to have a proper eye level. "Why are you laughing?"

"Hehehe," Liz giggled again. "You said you'd kill me."

"Yeah, and? Shouldn't that concern you?"

Liz rolled around and chomped on some blue-colored plant, munching on it like an animal.

Girl… are you a cow?

Lith had black lines form on his forehead.

Even cows weren't this inelegant while eating.

"Hehe," Liz first giggled, then continued while looking into Lith's amethyst eyes and munching on the plant, "If Hiff haiffness—"

Bonk!

"Oomfff!"

Lith couldn't watch her speak with her mouth stuffed with plants.

Liz clutched her head and rolled around, this time in pain as it hurt! Damn god! Why would he hurt her like that!?

As if reading her thoughts, Lith said, "Stop being naughty and don't cause trouble. If you're not afraid of getting killed by me then be afraid of your humanity getting stolen."

"…eh?"

The blue plant fell out of Liz's mouth as she heard that.

"Humanity? What?"

This was the first time she had heard such a threat.

Still in the same squatting position, Lith looked down at Lizbeth who was lying down on the ground, casting a shadow over her face.

"Do you not know who I am? I'm the Prince of Vampires and you're a human. You or your bloodline aren't strong enough to even put up resistance against me. I can turn you into a vampire anytime I want."

"W-w-what…"

This time Liz was scared and rolled to the side to get up.

She took a step back from her position and looking at Lith, said, "God… please don't show me such a scary face… I like it when you look at me indifferently."

Lith blinked in bafflement and got up. He didn't move from his place and stared at her.

Lizbeth took a deep breath and nudged her glasses up as she saw his reaction.

"It seems you're serious about this."

"Yes. Very much so."

"Okay…" Liz said and walked close to Lith, until she was standing a step's distance away from him. Being short, with her head reaching Lith's shoulder, she had to look up to see him eye to eye.

"…I would've died back there had it not been for you," Liz started speaking. "I offered you whatever I had because I was desperate to live. This time, it's no different."

'Hm? What is she talking about?' Lith's eyebrow slightly raised in interest.

Lizbeth's eyes were calm, serious. They did not have the bright playful twinkle in them anymore.

"If my humanity is what you seek, I'll give it to you. You only have to promise me that I won't lose my mind and stop researching."

Lith's brows slightly knitted themselves. He did not like what she just said.

His annoyed expression made Lizbeth take a deep breath and nudge her glasses up. "Right, by taking my humanity, do you mean to say you'll force yourself on me and defile me? No, that's not right."

Lizbeth corrected herself and shook her head as she realized something.

Looking up again, she continued, "You are the Vampire Prince, a vampire. And in that context, are you referring to turning me into a vampire by biting me?"

Lizbeth then shook her head again and looked at Lith.

"Sorry to say, God, it's a futile effort. I am not a pure virgin to get turned into a vampire. And even if you try to defile me, I most probably won't lose my humanity because it's not the first time—"

SLAP!

Lith couldn't bear to watch it anymore and slapped Lizbeth. He controlled his strength and only her glasses flew away while her cheeks turned red and somewhat swelled up instantly.

Grasping Lizbeth's face by his fingertips and squeezing her cheeks, Lith made her look him in the eyes.

Lizbeth's clear green eyes stared at Lith with a flickering gaze.

For the first time, Lith could see fear in her eyes. It was almost on the same level as when he first met Meryl.

Despite knowing her state of mind, Lith knew had to make things clear, lest some fuck up happened in the future.

With his eyes slightly squinted, Lith said, "Lizbeth… I asked you to not be naughty and cause trouble."

Liz's body trembled. She couldn't see Lith's face due to her blurry vision, but she could instinctively feel a scary aura.

It was natural. She was the human prey and Lith was the apex vampire predator in the truest sense.

Squinting his eyes further, Lith continued:

"And… I don't remember giving you permission to lie."
