Chapter 766 Mayzin’s Gift

Lucifer was gone from the teleportation chamber along with her daughters and assistant. Ren was dragged away by his mothers and Lith couldn't help him even if he wanted to.

The next guest that arrived was the King of Angels, Alex Paladin. That man seemed as calm and regal as one could be.

Just being around him brought a sense of peace and comfort to Lith, even though he was a Vampire.

With how handsome Alex looked, one could easily mistake him for a charming prince. That's how handsome he was.

Everything about him was great, except… his perfectly golden hair had a wavy and messy look to them, along with finely trimmed hair at the sides.

Coupled with the cross earrings he was wearing, Alex definitely looked like a playboy.

His overbearing status negated the thoughts of being a playboy though. Plus, anyone basking in his aura would give up all bad thoughts and become a monk or something.

Lith greeted Alex and then sent him away to where his granddaughter was without having much conversation.

After he was gone, it was the final guest that arrived, his Dragon aunt.

Mayzin didn't need the teleportation circle. The space-time bent around the circle and she simply manifested into existence.

His aunt was in a regal black samurai style robes along with black stockings. A bit of her thigh, lower abdomen, and arms were exposed.

Half her hair was in a bun along with a shiny purple stick attached to it and the other half flowed freely.

Her expression was calm and she definitely seemed the most overbearing compared to his Elven and Demon aunt.

"Greetings, aunt." Lith greeted her with a smile while holding a bouquet in his hands.

Mayzin walked close to him and greeted him back with a soft tone, not trying to sound overbearing as he was her nephew.

Lith handed her the bouquet and extending his elbows out, said with the same smile, "shall we?"

This was etiquette and not lewd.

The last person is supposed to be escorted to the main venue along with a family member of the Royals.

As it was Lith here and Mayzin was an older female, it only made sense for her to walk hand-in-hand with Lith.

Young girls never appeared last and neither did men.

The only people to come at last were either some older ladies or some couple related to the hosts.

In both cases, the lady would lock her hands with the host and get escorted to the main venue. It didn't matter if the host was a male or female, the hand locking was just a polite gesture.

Last time when there was a banquet held, it was Lith who took care of bringing the guests and the same happened now as well.

Mayzin was aware of the etiquettes and locked hands with Lith.

"It's your event and you're greeting the guests." Mayzin couldn't help but comment.

Lith chuckled. "You see, aunt. The Royal Family only has three people. So it can't be helped."

Mayzin nodded in understanding. That was true. It's no wonder Lith was here greeting guests at his own event.

"But also, I don't mind having my arms locked with a pretty lady like you." Lith joked.

Mayzin shook her head at this blatant flirting. "You shouldn't joke like that, nephew. I am almost your mother's age."

"It's exactly because of that." Lith smirked. "Mom and the other two aunts seemed to enjoy these jokes."

Mayzin rolled her eyes. "I am not like them."

Lith made an exaggerated sad face. "Then it seems aunt isn't as fun as them."

"That's right. Your aunt is a boring person."

Lith sighed and said, "it seems aunt Lucifer is better than you then."

"Yeah— what?" Mayzin suddenly felt she heard something wrong.

Lith looked at her and replied, "aunt Lucifer… she's more fun, I mean. Lucy and Alea also seem to enjoy their company more because I've heard of aunt Lucifer quite often than about you from them. Even mother speaks more about her than you."

Mayzin knitted her brows. That horny otaku gets more attention than her? No, it was fine to get attention, it didn't matter. But she's liked by her nieces more? And even Lilith!?

Now this was news.

Mayzin hadn't interacted much with her nieces or even Lilith in the past few hundred years. It was because she was sleeping.

Once she woke up, she then got busy handling her kingdom and then watching Lith, because of the stupid bet made by Lilith.

In all of this, she was constantly feeling that something was definitely not right. And today, right about now… she realized what that was.

Her nieces and nephew were still pretty young. The flow of time for these guys was much different than what she herself felt.

She might've thought it was okay to contact them after some years, but apparently it wasn't. It was the biggest mistake she was making.

Lucifer really had nothing better to do. She would just roam here and there or munch on food or watch anime or masturbate. It's no surprise that her two nieces and nephew got much closer to Lucifer than herself.

Although Mayzin wasn't a petty person, knowing Lucifer was actually being liked like this rang some alarms in Mayzin's head. If this continued on and she didn't interact more with her nieces, she'll probably not have a good relationship with them.

This was not good news.

Even if they weren't blood related, Mayzin really considered them as family. She considered Lilith, Agalea, and even that stupid neet as her sisters. Their children were like her own children.

Establishing a healthy relationship with them was really necessary.

Watching his aunt fall silent at his words, Lith didn't say anything more and just let her be.

It was only after a few minutes did she look at him and asked softly, "nephew, what's your favorite treasure?"

Lith stared at her with a stupefied gaze, wondering why she just asked that.

This reaction of Lith's made Mayzin scrunch her nose. "My bad. Let me ask something else. What's… um… your favourite color?"

Mayzin realized her nephew wasn't a Dragon. Asking what his favourite treasure was a stupid question. Only Dragons would happily answer this one.

Lith didn't know why she was asking this, but still said, "amethyst."

His favourite color was the colours of his eyes. Just like how his mother felt a closeness to him through it, he too felt the similar things when he gazed at her or his sister.

"Hmm…" Mayzin hummed and then rummaged through her space ring. In a few seconds, something clicked her and stopped looking at her ring. Instead, she pulled the purple hair stick out of her bun and let her hair fall freely.

Mayzin turned to Lith and showed the hair stick to him. "Here, your birthday gift, nephew."

Mayzin had some trouble communicating since she wasn't too used to interactions such as these. But she tried her best to appear like a good aunt.

Lith laughed softly and shook his head. "You don't need to gift me, aunt. You were there during my celebrations a few days ago and here as well now, I am happy and content."

Mayzin stared at Lith as she heard that. She slightly tilted her head to the right and asked, "did you perhaps not like it? Wait, I'll give you something else then."

Lith was dumbfounded with this. His aunt totally misunderstood him. "Wait, I didn't mean that I didn't like it."

"So?" Mayzin asked. "Why did you reject it?"

It was for the first time that someone didn't accept a treasure. That too, from her.

Mayzin knew just how much the entire world coveted the treasures of the Dragons. There were so many journals, maps, and whatnot guiding people to the treasures buried by the Dragons or towards the Dragons themselves.

Robbing even the lowliest of Dragons could make a mortal rich for a lifetime.

Nobody let go of any chance to have such a thing happen and this thing that Mayzin was giving to Lith… people would actually go to war to obtain it.

Not just a few, but the entirety of a few major races would actually attack her, if they knew what this was.

Thus, it was quite surprising for her to actually get her gift rejected. Even if she was really smart, she could only think that maybe the reason for rejection was that her nephew didn't like this.

Her IQ had dropped substantially due to her poor communication skills.

Nobody would even think with this conversation that this was the same lady who was engaged in hardcore chess battles with Lilith herself for months, at the time of Arya's ascension.

Lith looked at his aunt and said with an awkward smile, "aunt, it's basic noble etiquette."

Lith didn't know about other places but Vampire nobles usually refrained from accepting or even giving gifts.

In the past it was because in the past many assassinations occurred due to gifts in the noble households.

It thus became a thing to not accept gifts and this teaching was passed down in the form of etiquette.

Mayzin didn't understand Lith, so she just asked again, "so… do you want this or do you not like this and want something else?"

She didn't understand a simple no. There was the pride of a dragon within her that didn't let her brain think that her gift was rejected. I mean, who in their right minds would even reject a present anyway?

Lith could only sigh and say, "thank you, I'll take this then."

Mayzin flashed a happy smile as Lith accepted the gift, surprising the latter.

He thought, 'if accepting this meant I could see such a beautiful smile, I would've already done that.'

"I hope you'll like it. Here…" Mayzin handed the hair stick to Lith. "Keep it safe with you, it'll be of help in case you're stuck in a dangerous situation."

"What is this?" Lith asked.

Mayzin smiled and answered, "you'll know when you use it."

There was no more room for question as the two finally reached the venue.

Lith let Mayzin go and sit on a table with his other aunts and then went on to prepare for his entry into the banquet.
