"Hello~ Can I co in? Thank you~"
A jovial voice was heard as a purple-haired woman walked into Faustina's room with a big smile on her face.
"Why are you here?" Faustina questioned with a slight frown on her face.
She had been awake for the last few weeks so for the next few years, she planned to sleep and do nothing, so right now, she didn't appreciate guests barging into her house, especially this woman.
"Oh co on, you can't treat your good friend like this, can you?"
"Lilith, why are you acting like this?" Faustina questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
Lilith always used this playful tone whenever she talked, for so reason, however, today Faustina could feel that sothing was wrong.
Lilith didn't co here just to et up, she had a different goal in her mind.
And Faustina had an idea what it was.
"What are you looking for?" She questioned when she noticed Lilith looking around with a curious look on her face.
"Is he not here with you? That's strange, did you send him sowhere to train him?" Lilith questioned.
Faustina, of course, knew who the Succubus Progenitor was talking about.
"He didn't co here with us. He is still in Yrniel."
She replied.
"What?" Lilith was shocked.
She knew that Faustina and Caesar had gone to Yrniel to bring Nux with them, there was no reason for any cultivator to reject their offer. Sothing like that simply wouldn't make sense.
Lilith couldn't understand and frowned in confusion,
"Why?" She questioned.
"He said he had sothing to do in Yrniel."
"What's the point? Didn't you tell him that he will only be wasting his ti there?"
"Well, I figured that instead of forcing him, I could let him do whatever he wants. It is not like we are bound by any sort of ti restraint.
I won't mind if he spends a few years in Yrniel and co here once he's done with whatever he wishes to achieve.
Don't forget, Vyriana is there with him as well. With how attached she seed, I doubt she would let him walk on the wrong path.
At the very least, she would tell him the basics and how to maximize his potential from that point."
Faustina seed calm.
Lilith, however, wasn't the sa,
"You know we cannot do that, correct?"
She questioned.
"What?"
"Vyriana is still a child and that boy is one of the most monstrous man I have ever seen in my life, his potential is only second to Azriel! He even made the Will of Yrniel tremble despite Azriel's presence!
You understand what that ans correct!? How can you leave soone like him to Vyriana!?" Lilith was clearly worried, or that was what she was the impression she was giving. Faustina however, wasn't soone who would fall for such tricks so easily.
As soone who knew this woman since the origin of the world, Faustina knew exactly what Lilith was thinking.
"Lilith."
She called out.
"Vyriana knows more about the 'correct path' than both of us combined. Don't act like he is in irresponsible child.
Don't forget, that Dragon has the potential to grow and defeat all of us. It is only a matter of ti before she receives Saphira's Blood.
Once that happens, she will be unstoppable.
That girl isn't called the Strongest Divine Stage Cultivator without any reason.
Also, don't think I don't know what you are planning.
My son has already made it clear that he does not want you, so stay away from him."
Faustina spoke, her narrows eyes seed threatening.
Lilith was taken aback when she saw those eyes, her attention, however, was on sothing entirely different,
"Your son…?"
"That is correct. I took Nux in as my son." Faustina revealed.
"Haah? What in the hell are you planning?" Lilith was confused.
"Is this your way of getting close to him and slowly breaking the barriers?" She guessed and a few monts later, Lilith started thinking.
"It is not exactly a bad plan.
He is still a child, if you spend 1000 sothing years as his mother, there might be a chance that he gives into his natural instincts and you will get what you want.
Faus, I didn't know you could co up with sothing like this. I underestimated you. You are looking forward to this even more than I am, aren't you?"
Lilith spoke with a smile on her face. She was definitely impressed but suddenly,
"I am not planning anything like that."
Faustina spoke up.
"He chose as his mother, I don't plan on breaking his trust."
Hearing her words, Lilith's frown just deepened,
"What are you even talking about? Breaking his trust? You sound like I am telling you to hurt him? You know it is not harmful, correct? On the contrary, he would enjoy the experience. If you don't have that confidence in you, let take your place."
"He is different, Lilith," Faustina spoke.
"You act like you know him well." Lilith chuckled.
"He is my son, how could a mother not know her son's character?" Faustina questioned back.
Lilith, on the other hand, found this annoying.
"So you plan on keeping a 'pure' relationship with him?"
"Exactly, I only wish to be a mother he can depend upon," Faustina replied. Lilith, however, just snorted.
"A mother eh? Remind , Faustina, which one of your previous 'sons' have you not mated with? Let's not even talk about the ti when we were required to populate Yrniel, did you forget what happened 50,000 years ago when you were bored? Do you want to help you rember it?"
Faustina's expression changed, "Lilith. I don't need you to remind anything.
I was rely trying to fill in the void we all feel and I am doing the sa thing right now.
This ti, I am simply changing the thod to do it.
Maybe it is ti I form a real relation, using Yrniel's common standards."
"They are mortal standards, Faus.
We are immortals."
"It wouldn't hurt to try, would it?"
"It will! It will hurt ! You are practically telling to stay away from him!" Lilith was frustrated.
"Woman, why are you so desperate!? Just stay away from him. If you can't just create his clone and do it with it or sothing! How is that so hard?"
"How is that sa!?"
"You…"
Faustina was annoyed.
" what? Aren't you being too selfish? To 'fill in the void', you are trying to push away! You know it has been 1000s of years since I have found soone interesting enough and now you are telling to back away!?"
In the end, Faustina turned silent, then, after taking deep breaths, she looked into Lilith's eyes and,
"There is no point in shouting at each other, we should compromise."
"What do you suggest?" Lilith questioned.
"I have no right to direct my son's life anyways, he will make his own decisions, so if you can convince him, you can do whatever you want. How about it?"
Faustina suggested and a big smile appeared on Lilith's face,
"That's it? Don-"
"Of course, you are not allowed to use your powers."
"What? Why!?" Lilith frowned.
"What? Not confident enough in your charm?" Faustina questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"Don't push it, Faus." Lilith narrowed her eyes. How could the Succubus Progenitor take that lying down?
"Alright." She agreed.
"I won't use my powers."
Faustina smiled as well,
"I wish you luck."
"I do not need luck, woman. Just you wait, I will take you son away from you right under your eyes." Lilith spoke and Faustina just shook her head.
"Anyways, have a seat."
"Tsk, don't bother. I know you just want to go." Lilith snorted before she turned around.
"You act like you actually wish to stay here." Faustina smiled.
"Well, I would rather not see your face. I have seen it so much that I am sick of it."
"What a coincidence, I feel the sa."
The two won chuckled before Lilith disappeared.
Once she did, Faustina turned around and,
"Did we disturb your sleep?" she questioned.
"You are planning to take this mother role seriously huh?" Caesar questioned.
"I can sense your jealousy."
"It makes no sense. Why would he call you mother but won't call father? What did I do?"
"He said he don't form relationships with n." Faustina chuckled.
Caesar laughed as well,
"Maybe he is not that similar to him." He comnted.
"Of course, I can't imagine Azriel saying anything like that. Now that I think about, the two are nothing alike."
"Other than their monstrous potential, of course," Caesar comnted.
"You are comparing him with Azriel huh…
That's quite a high evaluation."
"Catkin, Shadow Demon, Incubus, Vampire, and Human, that man uses abilities of all these races, not to ntion those myriads of other abilities he has, and all these abilities blend together perfectly.
Don't forget, that man hasn't even ford his Path yet.
I don't believe that he would surpass Azriel, but…
He would be a freak standing right after him."
