Strongest Mage with the Lust system Chapter 81 [Bonus Chapter]Lilly's Departure (2)

The barrier vanished, and Ashton stood up and bowed toward Lilly. Not only he but Esther, Alia and others also stood up and bowed. Max's expression beca strange as he thought, 'Why are they bowing to Lilly?'

He reflexively looked toward Lilly, who was also looking at Ashton and others with a panicked expression. Just as she wanted to ask why were they bowing to her, she heard Ashton speak while bowing, "We greet you, senior."

'Senior?' Lilly heard this and was confused and looked back and imdiately realised that they weren't bowing to her but to the person standing behind her. Max's expression froze the mont he looked toward Lilly.

At so point of ti, the white haired woman had appeared behind Lilly without them knowing. Max stared at dumbly and when he thought what would have happened if she was their enemy?

The woman nodded at Ashton and others. Then she glanced at Max, staring at her as if he has seen a ghost and felt irritated. She raised her brows and said coldly, "Why are you stating like that?"

Max ca to his senses after she spoke and retorted with an unpleasant expression, "Are you a ghost? Why would you appear silently like this?"

If he hadn't t Crimson monarch, Margaret and others, he wouldn't have dared to speak to her like that. But after interacting with them, he now could vaguely know if soone had malicious intentions or not. Of course it was based on the feeling he gets from the said person and based on that he knew that she wasn't a bad person even though she seed to hate his guts for so reason.

"Do I have to announce my arrival? And who told you to be so weak that you aren't even able to sense if soone had co or not?" She said with naked disdain in her eyes.

Max shook his head, he didn't want to argue with her as it not beneficial. He didn't bother to stand up and greet her as it wouldn't make any difference to her, given her personality and continued eating.

The woman noticed his rude behaviour but didn't seem to care. However, Ashton grew anxious seeing this and quickly said, "I apologise for my son's rude behaviour. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Lilly also grew anxious as Max had told her yesterday night about this woman's strength. She glanced at Max and seeing that he was eating without care, she also wanted to bow and apologise but the woman spoke first,

"It's fine. There is nothing to take to heart. What can you expect anything from n like him?" Max almost choked on the piece of at he was munching on.

But the woman then glanced at Lilly, and her ice-like expression lted a little as she said, "Child, Finish your al. We will depart as soon as you are ready."

Max stared at her as he touched his chin in contemplation 'Why does this woman seems to hold so kind of grudge against ? I'm sure yesterday was the first ti we t, and I'm sure I didn't do anything that might make her dislike .' He shook his head and thought, 'It's fine as long as she treats Lilly well.'

Lilly frowned at her for disrespecting her man, but her gentle words that seed to contain a bit of affection made her unable to say anything. Moreover, she knew that they couldn't afford to offend her because, according to Max's speculation, no one in the Green leaf kingdom was a match for her let alone their family. She hesitantly asked, "Umm, Senior, would you like to eat with us?"

The white-haired woman shook her head "It's fine. Don't mind and take your ti." Saying this she once again vanished. ​

Max mumbled when she disappeared again "She just cos and goes as she wish. Oh well, At least now we can eat peacefully." Hearing him talking so casually about a supre existence, everyone looked at him incredulously and thought 'Is his guts made of steel?'

Alia rebuked ''Max; you shouldn't be rude to such powerful people. They usually have quirky personalities, and no one knows when they might feel offended and start a massacre.''

Seeing that she genuinely cared, he smiled and nodded ''I'll keep that in mind.''

...

After they finished breakfast, the white-haired woman appeared again. "Shall we depart, Child?" She asked Lilly.

Lilly looked at Max and suddenly couldn't control her tears and hugged him, not wanting to let go. She didn't care if everyone was watching or not. The white-haired woman sighed seeing this but didn't say anything.

Max patted her back and consoled, "Don't cry. We will be together again in no ti."

Lilly finally cald down a little. Then she hugged Esther too, and surprisingly, Esther also seed a bit sad. After a while, she bade everyone farewell and went to stood beside the white-haired woman.

The woman asked, "Should we go?"

Lilly glanced at Max, who smiled and nodded at her. She then said in a low voice, "Mhm."

Shua!

The white-haired woman put her on Lilly's shoulder, and with a whooshing sound, they vanished in thin air leaving chilly air behind. Max clenched his fists, feeling vexed. But just then white-haired woman's voice echoed in his mind, "Try to raise your strength as soon as possible so that you can be qualified to co and visit her and be of so help to her in future."

"Huh?" Max stared dazedly at the spot where they disappeared from. After a while he breathed deeply and nodded at the empty spot. Although he didn't know what that woman ant by helping Lilly, he knew he had to beco strong not only be 'qualified' to et Lilly but also co and go to any place he desired without any worry just like she did.

...

After Lilly went away with the white-haired woman, Ashton and Max went to his room to continue their conversation.

Max sat in front of his father on a wooden couch. "I heard that Butler George told you about your mother's death." Ashton said.

Max nodded and said, "Yes, I know that mother's death was caused by that count, Wiley."

Ashton sighed. "But what you know isn't the complete truth."

"What do you an, father?" Max asked confused. Was there sothing more to her death? He didn't think that Butler George would hide sothing from him or was it that even he didn't know about it?
