Chapter 801 Mayzin Cares About Lith

From the start, the whole situation was in such a way that there were traps everywhere for Lith.

Even if he had great comprehension skills, he was bound to mess up since it was a setup which was almost out of his capabilities.

Lith may have ended up doing everything correctly, but this wasn't a life and death scenario where he was motivated or forced to give it his all.

Mayzin's punishment wasn't light when Lith messed up. The push-ups took every inch of energy from Lith and exhausted him to such a degree that he wasn't able to move even a millimetre by the end of the last repetition.

During his push-ups, Mayzin, while sitting on him, explained the things he had missed out severely and lectured him.

In the start, he didn't bother to check the surroundings he was in and also the pursuers. It was important to know about the surrounding area and why the people were there at that time and for what reason.

The running young boy could've literally ran to any place, but why was he in an alley? Was that a coincidence or was it on purpose?

Lith never gave thought to it and suffered the consequences of getting punished.

Mayzin was disappointed in Lith and this firstly amused him, then surprised him, and finally made him self-aware that he was slacking!

Lith had gotten too cocky lately and was humbled really quickly with this setback.

Nobody was perfect, but striving for greatness is what everyone was doing and had to do. This was one of life's most important teachings.

The start of his test was set up in such a way that it was the main connection to everything. Since Lith messed up there, he had to do boring stalking and eventually took a lot of time to get to the answer.

Ino was a regent and the child she was substituting for was supposedly killed by her, making her suffer through the consequences of it.

The child actually hadn't died due to various protection spells put on him by his late parents, that is, the former rulers of the Raguel Kingdom.

This child had the secrets of his parents which connected him to major powers in the kingdom and also some hidden organizations left behind by the Raguels.

The child made use of it and slowly assassinated the men of Ino, eventually killing one of the main elders, who was the very first person who had died by the poison of the witches.

The natural disasters were also caused by this child himself.

Lith would've gotten to his answer as to who the child was after going through Ino's memories, but Mayzin summoned him back on purpose before he did so.

Lith had already failed in multiple places and now knowing the culprit would've just made him think, 'At least I found the answer…'

Mayzin didn't want this to occur as this was a sign of an average person and not a genius.

The difference between an average person and a genius could be explained via an example.

Suppose the two had an exam. The average guy would study one day prior to the exam and easily pass it or even do well by scoring somewhere around 60-80% in it.

However, a genius would work hard for the exam from the day it would be announced. He would also go to an extra mile just to achieve that one extra point and completely ace it.

Anyone could pass and anyone could score good, but it takes a lot of hardwork and discipline to be above everyone else.

The average guy would think that he was much better than the genius as he just studied for one day and did so well. He would also continue to slack further as he would think he's superior to the genius and there's no need to study so extensively when one could pass it so easily.

This thing would eventually lead him towards failure or average things in life. He would never be able to achieve greatness and thus… fail in the long term.

Lith's condition was similar and Mayzin was quick to analyze it and correct him.

Whatever drama she may have with Lith, at the end of the day, he was her nephew and she was his aunt. Lilith had trusted her in training him and she was not going to break the trust.

Mayzin cared for Lith as an aunt, she genuinely did as he was her only nephew. She even cared for Lucy and Alea but those two were extreme cases and there was not much Mayzin could do to help them.

Lucy was a hardcore battle maniac and grew only in battles or pain. Until and unless in a life threatening situation, she was not going to grow.

As for Alea, well… she had her own pace she grew with and rushing it wouldn't do anyone any good.

The only person Mayzin could train was Lith and she was doing just that. He was her family, even though they weren't blood related.

It was Mayzin's care that was the reason for Lith's punishment. She'll love him to no end as an aunt, but she'll also beat the shit out of him if he fucked up. This was what family was.

Mayzin didn't spare him for messing up and he lay flat on the ground like a balloon with no air.

"Anyway… do you wanna know who the culprit is?" Mayzin finally asked.

She had explained quite literally everything and given him a good lecture. The only thing remaining was to know who was the cause of all this chaos.

Lith breathed heavily and said in between his breaths, "Go… huff… on…"

Mayzin's lips curved up and she answered, "Remember the running boy at the start? It was him."

"…"

Lith's heavy breathing stopped as he heard that and a silence descended.

As the realization dawned on him, he couldn't help but curse, 'Damn it, I should've taken it more seriously!'

The thing that took almost a week for completion, Lith could've done so within a few days had he paid more attention in the start.

This mess was by no means anything small and Lith cursed himself for being this cocky.

Mayzin was having a good time watching Lith have an internal battle with himself. She didn't get up from him and continued to watch his reactions.

There was still one repetition left and she would get up only when Lith finished it.

Ten minutes passed with the two staying in the same position and not speaking.

Lith finally sighed as he reflected on his mistakes and eventually asked, "Aunt, are you not going to get up?"

"No," said Mayzin flatly. "You have yet to do one last rep."

"Tsk," Lith clicked his tongue. He had no energy in him to do this, but he knew he had to otherwise his aunt wouldn't get up.

However, an idea popped up in his mind and smirking, he said, "No worries. Don't get up. I am anyway enjoying this soft feeling on my back."

"…" It was Mayzin's turn to feel speechless upon hearing that.

'How can someone be so shameless and say something like this out of the blue?' She thought.

If given even a single opportunity, her nephew would make use of it and not let it go. It was no wonder that even ended up having the prideful Lucifer all for himself.

That woman was not to be trifled with, even though she seemed like a joke and immature. Her pride was far too much and breaking through those barriers and getting her love was not easy.

Any person weaker than Lucifer, had they tried to approach her, they would've been killed even without knowing how.

Let alone be near her, even looking at her was forbidden. It was for this reason that she never met any demon and very rarely saw the seven deadly sins.

The only demon who regularly met Lucifer was her secretary Adriel and that was about it.

Though, Mayzin's pride was far more than even Lucifer's as a Demon was a shameless being who could bend their personalities at will.

A Dragon was not like that and they were true to themselves.

It was thus really difficult for Lith to break through Mayzin's barriers and flirt properly. Add to that, the bet and all she had with Lilith was also another reason for Mayzin to stay wary.

She was self-conscious about getting attracted to Lith and carefully kept herself at bay, lest she got taken by him.

Lith would need to work more hard if he wanted to have her in the harem, but thankfully, at least she was family and close to him.

Even if Mayzin wanted to, she couldn't show her cold side to Lith. It was because he was her only nephew and she cared a bit too much to do something so cruel.

Lith had a lot of opportunities due to this and taking things slowly was just about right with his dragon aunt.

Not giving up on the teasing, Lith smiled and replied with a smirk, "Aunt, if you're gonna sit on me anyway, why not shift a bit upwards and sit on my face?"
