Chapter 1065 Lizbeth’s Heaven And Hell (5)

Chapter 1065 Lizbeth's Heaven And Hell (5)

The misunderstanding was cleared out.

Lizbeth stated what had transpired in her childhood. She also mentioned what had just happened after Lith had slapped her.

Lith came to an understanding that Lizbeth's memory was distorted or tampered with. It was for this reason that she did not even know her name or where she came from or who her parents were.

"Can I see your memories?" Lith asked Lizbeth.

There could be some clue in there that Lizbeth had missed saying or perhaps she was wrongly comprehending.

The most concerning matter wasn't about Lizbeth's parents, but her purity. Now, it may sound scummy to think about that, and checking it would make one seem like a pervert, but Lith had his reasons.

The first and foremost reason was that Lith had to make Lizbeth understand that she wasn't defiled. There was lingering trauma related to it and this would be solved if he proves it to her.

To prove, he needed evidence which could only be found in her memories.

"You don't have to ask me about that, God— Your Highness." Lizbeth said. "Do as you like."

The someone somewhere, that person, Lizbeth considered it to be Lith.

She had thought it was her end when she met her parents. It wasn't the case. Her destiny was entirely different.

She met Lith and ever since then, she's had some of her best times in her life.

She could eat whatever she wanted, sleep whenever without worrying about money or food, and on a comfy bed at that! Water that she got for drinking was clean, the room in the Inn had a nice aromatic smell of roasted coffee beans.

Then the most important and best thing, it was the toilet!

The toilet was attached to the room she was in. She did not need to go out in the open at all!

She also had all the time in the world to research and then she also met an orange cat, who was actually not a cat but a pretty lady. She was nice and gave off a warm feeling.

After all that, she was now in a place which was brimming with things related to medicine, alchemy.

In Lizbeth, alchemy was the only thing after her caretaker was gone. She did not know how old she was, but the time with her parents could roughly be two to four years and the time with the caretaker was similar.

She met her parents again when she was around 100 years old, which meant that she had spent 96 years of her life with alchemy.

After that incident with her parents, she did not know where she ended up and what was happening. She just knew she had to survive and that was what she was doing.

Heal sickly mortals > make money > buy alchemy resources > eat with leftover money > study alchemy > run out of money for food > heal sickly mortals.

This was the cycle that she was repeating. She was really frugal about food as it was expensive and could make her go broke.

She also did not buy clothes or jewelry or anything that a normal lady usually would other than some hygiene items like waxing strips, sanitary pads, facewash, moisturizer, and so on.

All in all, it was all thanks to Lith that she had such a life now. It was a good ending, she thought.

Lith was too big of a person in her life than what Lith even estimated himself to be. She was thus fine to share memories.

Getting her consent, Lith touched his forehead with hers, making her have a slight blush on her face.

He had two abilities that could help him read minds. One was inherited from his mother and the other was a technique from Grand Lust Sovereign's inheritance.

Seriously, that guy's inheritance had everything when it came to women and sex.

Reading a woman's mind was not easy, so he developed a technique to do just that.

It was so easy that all Lith had to do was chant some spells while touching his forehead with the girl's, and that was it. He would soon enter her mind and can browse through her memories.

This could only be applied to the women who were weaker than him. If they were strong, he could get reverse invaded and may possibly lose all his memories if the woman wanted him to.

At the end of the technique's description was a note that read:

P.S: This technique doesn't work. Even if you read the woman's mind, you can't truly tell what it is that she wants. Why? Because they themselves don't know what they want!

On the other hand, the skill inherited from his mother was something that could be used on anyone and not just women. It could be applied on animals too with consistent practice and mastery. The only catch was that Lith's strength had to be more than the other person's, and the difficulty of it.

Lith trusted his mother more than he trusted the lust sovereign. There also weren't many opportunities to use the skills he inherited from her. Letting go of the current one would be a big waste.

Lith and Lizbeth both felt warm on their foreheads as the memory reading started.

Lizbeth felt as if her head was getting swept by a powerful breeze as she shared the memories with Lith.

A few minutes passed and Lith was done going through Lizbeth's memories.

His mood was anything but good after watching the things she had gone through, and only now did he realize how heavy the matter was and why she was calling him God and said the things she had said in the past.

Taking a deep breath, Lith looked at Lizbeth.

She felt somewhat nervous with the gaze he was showing and didn't know what would happen next.

Contrary to what she was thinking, a big hand hit her head, softly, and she heard a ruffling sound.

"It's been hard on you, Liz. I'm sorry, I did not know how important the word God was for you."

"Ah…" Lizbeth looked up and saw Lith to be staring at her with a hint of sadness. His hand was on her head, caressing her.

Lith took a step ahead and wrapped his arm around Lizbeth, enclosing her in a hug.

She was short and her head only reached his chest while his hands were wrapped around her shoulders.

"If you don't want to, then don't call me Your Highness. But you should know, I am no God…"

Lith took a pause, then looking into the emerald abyss, continued, "…at least as of now."

Lizbeth's eyes flickered. She was quick to catch onto the meaning and smiled softly.

Hugging her again and patting her back, Lith put his chin on her head, making her grunt.

'Too sharp…'

Lith's jawline was sharp and it stinged a bit when he applied force on her head with his chin.

It was intentional on Lith's part to grab her attention and to make her aware of the affection he was pouring out.

"Liz… your claim…"

"Hm?" Lizbeth was listening.

"…why are you so stupid?"

"…"

Lizbeth didn't know where Lith was getting at, but she used her right to remain silent on that question.

Lith continued, "You're smart when it comes to alchemy but that's it. This thing is probably filled with medicinal herbs and has nothing more in it."

Lith tapped on Liz's head with his chin a few times.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!"

'It hurt! God, why!?'

Lizbeth tried to break free and failed successfully, as a result of which got her some more knocks on the head by Lith's sharp chin.

Lith stopped tormenting her after she let out a few grunts of pain.

Breaking the hug, he looked at her and said, "I'll get to the point now. You are pure, that's the conclusion. As for how I came to that conclusion, let's go back into the flashback…"

With that, Lith guided her to think about the time when there were goons outside her house, searching for her.

Lizbeth was exhausted that day and fell asleep. When she woke up, she had blood all over her lower body and her abdomen was hurting too.

So far, Lizbeth did not find anything wrong in this as those were accurate statements.

"Now, let me ask you," Lith took a pause as he stared at her.

"What was your age back then?"

"What?" Lizbeth did not understand why Lith was asking her that.

"Your age. What was it?" Lith repeated himself.

Lizbeth thought about it and said, "I had awakened not long ago. So it should be around… thirteen? Fourteen?"

Lith nodded. "That's correct. And what do humans go through at that age?"

"What?"

Lith flicked her forehead as she asked an annoying question again without giving what he said a single thought.

"Humans go through puberty. That time and that age, it properly aligns. That blood and pain could be the result of your first menstruation."

"…"

Lizbeth frowned hearing that.

Lith continued, "If those guys had done something to you, your clothes would have signs of tampering. There were none. And with how your smell is to me right now, I can say with a 100% assurance that nothing had happened to you back then. You just got scared because of the exhaustion and the sudden trouble thrown at you."

"…what?"

Lith's eyes twitched. This was the third what in a row.

"Come here…"

"What? No!" Lizbeth tried to run away, but it was futile.

A forehead flick came her way, this time with added strength for maximum pain and minimum damage.

"Ow! Owww! Owwwww!
