Chapter 859 Lith’s The Link

The chatter continued on for a while and the participants were mostly Sebastian, Tsuki, Lith, and Ariel.

As the talks steered to the important bits, in regards to what they should all be doing from here onwards, Anne and Iki paid attention and listened intently.

There was a deep discussion going on, but not having enough time on hand, Lith jumped in the conversation and said, "Let me shorten things and explain to you guys."

The five, Anne and Iki included, nodded their heads lightly and looked at Lith.

Despite appearing seemingly unserious, Lith was still revered and respected by everyone in this group. He was the very link that connected the remaining five together.

In his absence, it would be absolute chaos as Sebastian, Anne, Ariel, and Iki were all born to lead and could never be under someone on their own.

Just as two tigers could not share a single mountain, these five could not coexist in the same place together.

Tsuki might be able to adjust, but the rest definitely wouldn't and may end up killing each other rather than extend out even a single finger for help.

Lith explained to everybody that they should go about living their lives normally just like how they've been doing it till now.

Hardships were bound to come sooner or later and on the off chance that they ended up stumbling across an enemy they couldn't defeat, seeking help should not be a problem.

Now, seeking help was a must as not only theirs, but the whole group's lives were at stake.

The five nodded their heads in understanding. These points were something they didn't disagree on.

Lith then told them that everyone should be on a lookout to break this curse and further advised them to not fall into depression or go berserk over the smallest of things.

The latter part was easier said than done as simply saying don't fall into depression didn't mean jackshit.

Everyone's struggle was different and the way to cope through it was different as well.

But, it didn't matter to Lith. He was just saying it formally and merely assumed that everyone understood what he meant. In case they didn't, it was not his problem.

Everyone was a grown up here and had to be mature enough to take care of themselves.

Lith then talked about a few emergency things and how they all should be tending to it and reacting.

After all was said and done, Lith stretched and said, "Phew… What a hectic day. Alright, time to leave."

"I hope the worst situation never arises." Tsuki said suddenly while everyone was preparing to leave.

Everyone turned to look at her as she said that while having their eyebrows widened.

"Don't raise a death flag like that, damn. You really wanna get us all killed or what?" Lith commented.

Tsuki spat out her tongue playfully and said, "Sawry."

Everyone's mood was pleasant right now and they were all being playful, this time Iki was included as well.

Iki didn't understand humour or anything, he was just happy to be there and enjoyed their company.

Finally, with some more talks, they all parted ways with each other and left for their respective universes and worlds.

…..

Dushkarbor.

Lith was back in the village with that dumb green-haired kid. He was really suspicious and couldn't be left alone for even a moment.

Lith was babysitting this dude and always kept him close and entertained.

Lith really treated this child as a child and didn't once think he was an adult.

Lith squished the guy's chubby cheeks, which made him really angry, but then gave him a lollipop with a really niche flavor.

This thing was not available anywhere except for the Royal Castle and without any surprises, the child was hooked to it.

Lith then began gaslighting the kid into thinking he was small, cute, and deserved all the pampering in the world.

The thing he did was working as the boy began getting absorbed into this.

The boy was finally taken care of and with that done, Lith began making preparations for war once again.

Upon arrival in Dushkarbor, Lith learnt that a few days had already passed and that the meeting had been cancelled.

Lith didn't mind this and made them schedule a meeting once again while keeping that damn green-haired kid close by.

As the kid was near, Lith couldn't even touch his maids or have fun with them. The time he had spent outside was so hectic that some stress balls were needed to relieve pressure.

But, it seemed that the stress balls would have to wait.

Damn, this kid!

Within a few hours, the meeting was scheduled and once again, the officials from various provinces came to check on what the new King had to say.

The Queen was with Lith, the King had been killed, this meant Lith was the highest authority in the kingdom and could do pretty much anything he wanted here.

Despite having full freedom, Lith didn't actually do anything .

He simply kept the green-haired kid close to him and handing him out a lollipop, began addressing the issues one by one.

Different provinces had different problems, thus they were being individually told what they had to do.

The meeting lasted for three whole days. It was boring, but everyone was somehow interested in things as the improvements sounded quite good to them.

The officials then were sent back and immediately sprung into action, making people correct the stuff they had been doing wrong for so many years or give them some extra boost.

Lith inspected everything on his own while having the green-haired kid by his side.

For some reason or another, this child was looking at everything with great interest and this made Lith frown and question, 'Is he in the enemy camp?'

This thing was something he couldn't tell based on looks alone. A lot of evidence was needed for it, but if such was the case, then Lith thought to better take the necessary precautions.

From the next day onwards, Lith began taking this kid into places meant for kids and then straight into work places where discussion regarding administration was going on.

The kid seemed to be bored to death, but Lith gave him good food and drinks, coaxing him into going where Lith went.

Time passed with such shenanigans happening and without even knowing, it had been a month since Lith's return.

It had also been a month of babysitting and honestly, Lith was really tired of it but also got used to it, so there were barely any difficulties he faced.

On the other hand, the green-haired kid was constantly thinking, 'WHY IS HE NOT LEAVING ME ALONE!?'
