Royal Castle, Nightingale.

"Curse?" Lilith asked, looking at Emilia.

"That's right, mother." Emilia nodded her head.

She had just sent Lilith a soul transmission upon arrival and explained the entire situation of the Astral World.

"I see." Lilith nodded lightly. She walked towards Lith and lightly touched his raging boner.

Lith sucked in a cold breath of air as she did that and said, "Mom, can you not"

Lilith chuckled looking at him. "Sorry."

She then looked at Emilia and said, "Thank you for helping him out so much, Emmy-chan. I'll now do his treatment. Could you please leave us for a bit?"

Emilia nodded. "I'll go back to my office then. I'll see you guys later."

Emilia gave Lith a kiss on his cheek and left after saying so.

After she was gone, Lilith looked at Lith and said,

"So about the treatment. I'll give it to you straight, baby. It's a powerful curse that I can only suppress temporarily. To treat it, you'll need to do as that person had asked. There's no other way."

It was for the first time Lilith had called something powerful, but it went unnoticed by Lith as he was too busy bearing the pain.

"Whatever, mom. Just suppress it if you can. Temporary relief is better than no relief." Lith said hurriedly.

"Alright." Lilith nodded and walked towards Lith.

She made him sit on the edge of the bed of her bedroom and placed one of her hands on his core and another on his glabella.

She then closed her eyes and soon, two black magic circles appeared in the places she touched and then disappeared in the next instant.

Lith immediately felt relieved when this happened and being shocked, he asked,

"It's gone?"

Lilith shook her head. "No. I just suppressed it. You can get it suppressed as much as you want, but from what I felt of this curse, it'll grow in strength if not treated quickly. It's suppressed for a month for now and if you don't get it treated, it'll be back."

Lith's mood turned for the worse as he heard that. To get treatment meant to give green hats to people and to do that

'What did the guy who gave the curse think of me? Do I look like someone with a golden rod to him? I am just a normal guy with beautiful wives. Why would I want to do it with someone else?' Lith thought to himself.

He felt a great headache when he thought he would need to do it with strangers and this wasn't a good feeling. He didn't want to cheat on his wives and be disloyal.

Although now all of Lith's moral shackles were broken and he was pretty much a villain retaining some morality, he still didn't like the fact of doing it with complete strangers.

Doing it with the people he knew was alright. Like his maids or his aunt who he was planning to dominate in the future and also add some sense into her stupid brain.

It was hypocritical but it didn't matter. He wasn't a human anymore to think of proper morals, was he?

Lith sighed and shook his head. He got up and stretched, trying to forget his worries for now.

"I'll go get some air." Lith said to Lilith and left her bedroom.

Lilith didn't stop him and let him think of things thoroughly.

Lith walked through the hallways of the castle and wandered aimlessly.

He then stopped when he realised he had reached the rooftop unknowingly and looked at the scenery in front.

There was a shining silver-crimson moon in the sky, a large lake lit up by its radiance and a dark surrounding everywhere around him. It was creepy yet it brought peace to him.

Lith thought of relaxing for a bit and clapped his hand once to call Luna.

She appeared behind him and asked bowing, "How may I be of service, Your Highness?"

"Get me a chair, Luna." Lith said simply.

Luna did and when Lith sat on it, he asked her to give him a head massage.

Getting massaged, Lith felt really relaxed. His eyes were half closed and he basked in the radiance of the moon, getting lost deep in his own thoughts.

Soon, after a good while, Lith opened his eyes, his vision hazy, and asked, "Luna, is the blood of the Konzak Tree finished?"

Luna shook her head. "No. There's still some drops left."

"Get it for me, please." Lith said relaxedly.

"Your Highness mustn't be so polite in ordering." Luna said while shaking her head with a smile and left to retrieve what Lith had asked.

She soon brought it and gave it to Lith.

Lith, looking at a half empty vial, got out of his relaxed state and thought, 'If it tastes as amazing as the first time, it's worthy to work upon.'

Lith dipped his pinky inside the vial and getting some blood on it, he put it in his mouth, only to quickly be out of his lazy state and get lost in the flavours of the blood.

The blood made Lith energized and took him on an acid trip. Although it wasn't a drug, it brought all effects of the drug to Lith.

Lith's blood flowed quicker into his body and his skin glowed. He became so energetic that he couldn't help but get up and swing his arms around to practice some martial arts.

Lith was in such vigour that he felt like fighting someone right now.

Close to him was Luna and he felt it would be good to just duke it out with her.

Lith rushed towards her and sent a kick at her sides.

Luna was prepared for such a thing to happen. She blocked Lith's leg with her forearm, feeling not even a single tingle from his solid kick.

Lith sent many attacks and Luna blocked all.

Feeling the effects of the blood wear off, Lith stopped fighting with Luna.

He looked at the vial in his hand and nodded his head. "Good stuff."

This blood had many effects on vampires and it was much better than any potion out there. The main effect of it was to bring renewed vigour and fighting spirit but there were many more things to it than just this.

The blood of the Konzak Tree could only be harvested in a battlefield and there were no more trees present in this era since it was a peaceful one.

But

"Where there are people, there are conflicts." Lith said softly with a smile as he looked at the vial.

He then asked Luna, "How's the political situation in the Human Continent?"
