Chapter 555 Neo’s First Task
Lith sighed and shook his head as Ruben greeted him. No matter how many times he had seen this happen, he just wasn't used to such formal greetings.
But Lith knew that he could get more result by talking to a tree than asking Ruben, Noman, or as a matter of fact, any Royal Servant to stop being so formal to him.
Lith put aside the discomfort he felt a moment ago and said, "Neo's training should be done by now, right?"
Ruben got up and as he stood in front of Lith, he definitely seemed a bit more taller than him and his wavy long hair, having a deep red shade probably added a few more centimetres to his height.
Ruben smiled and said, "That's right, Your Highness. Please test him and see if I have trained him properly or not."
Ruben was a prideful being and distant from almost everyone who he didn't take interest in. The few exceptions to this were his Prince, the Queen, and the Princess.
Lith shook his hand and said, "There's no need. If the training is done, I'll give Neo some missions that he needs to do."
Lith knew that Ruben definitely would've done a good job and there really was no need to test it. All the Royal Servants, Ruben being no exception, were loyal and subservient to the clan. There was not even a single hint of disregard for any of the people from the Royal Clan.
Sometimes Lith couldn't understand what made them be so loyal but then he could guess that it must have something to do with his mother. He made a mental note that this was yet another mystery of his mother that he needed to uncover to know more about her.
Lith's reply saying he was going to give a mission to Neo piqued Ruben's interest and he was just about to ask more on this thing, when Lith, who already could guess what Ruben would ask, answered:
"It's a mission to cause some chaos in the Human Continent. You aren't allowed to interfere."
"Cheh." Ruben clicked his tongue in displeasure.
His Prince really knew what was going on in his mind. Although it was a good thing, but at times like this when Ruben got the opportunity to go out, it was bad since he now wouldn't be able to.
Being unable to go to the Human Continent meant Ruben couldn't hunt for humans for food or just fool around or toy with them.
He was a demon through and through from all his heart, a being completely opposite of Noman, the Seraphim who loved peace, tranquillity, and had his personality revolving around the seven virtues.
Lith smiled looking at Ruben's displeasure and said, "Although you can't do anything in this matter, there's something else you can do for the time being."
"Oh?" It wasn't difficult to have Ruben put his full attention back on Lith.
Lith continued with the same smile, "Noman is away from Nightingale, probably in the Werewolf Continent. You know what that means right?"
Ruben smirked. "I definitely don't. Can His Highness elaborate?"
Of course he knew what this meant!
Lith smirked back and continued, "You are free to 'help' Noman there in whatever way you see fit."
From help, Lith meant that Ruben could go and bother Noman if he wanted to.
Being so close to everyone, he naturally had an idea about the relationships these people shared together.
Ruben started laughing as he heard that. "If this is His Highness' command, I'll very well follow it. But hey, if that guy is pissed, the responsibility is yours, Your Highness."
"Wha—"
"Good day, Your Highness!"
Finishing saying so, Ruben did a bow and quickly ran away while laughing like a maniac before Lith could say anything anymore.
Lith smiled and shook his head. It couldn't be helped, it seems. Whatever, it didn't matter since Lith had the potential to bear responsibilities.
And Ruben was an adult with lots of experience. He for sure wouldn't do anything stupid to cause too much trouble to Noman…
Hopefully.
After Ruben was gone, Lith checked up on Neo, only to see that he was still lying flat on the ground like a dead fish.
Lith took out some potions and fed it to Neo, eventually making him get up and greet Lith in a more subservient manner than the Royal Servants.
Lith didn't bother with the greetings and taking out his phone, he scrolled through it to see a few information.
A few seconds later, he got what he wanted. He looked at Neo and said,
"Neo, your first task is to sleep with the wife of Lord Bernard, a Saint Rank noble in the Human Continent. Lord Bernard is— hmm, wait."
Lith just realized something as he was about to hand out information.
He looked Neo in his magenta red eyes and commanded the system is in his mind to rapidly transfer the information to Neo.
The system started doing its job and in just a second, Neo fully understood what he was supposed to do and who Lord Bernard was.
Lord Bernard, as mentioned, was a Saint Rank noble in the Human Continent.
The Human Continent had hierarchies similar to vampires, except they also had one extra thing in it.
The Vampires had the Barons, Viscounts, and so on and the Humans too had the same.
But since in each rank there were a lot of families, they had another hierarchy in it.
Each rank consisted of top ten families and there were many more divisions to it as well. This continued till the Half Emperor Ranks but things changed in the Emperor Rank realm.
The powerhouses in the Emperor Rank realm didn't have a top ten, rather, they had the four great families.
These four great families were not only the stronger ones in their own ranks, they were also the strongest and the greatest in the entire Human Continent and the Human race.
Being in such a high position meant they had lots of power, control, wealth, and whatnot.
But they were them and currently Lith had nothing to do with those higher levelled powerehouses. His target was a small Baron of the Human race, who was a Saint Rank.
Lith had the list of all the nobles, their ranks, cultivation, connections, basically he had the entire encyclopaedia of the humans in a form of list with him on his phone.
All of this was possible solely because of the Royal Servants, the major contributor being Luna who brought all the classified information to Lith.
Of all the people, Lith chose Baron Bernard because he ranked 6th in the Baron ranks. Although he wasn't the strongest in that rank, he secretly was the one with the most connections with the higher ups.
Thus, clashing with this family would result in a connection being formed with the higher ups, who in turn had further connections upward and so on and so forth.
A chain was formed and if Neo was successful, he would really have an easy way in causing the chaos Lith wanted to see.
Neo got the information through the system and once he was done processing it, he kneeled down on the ground and bowed. "I'll do as master says. Anything else I may be of service to master?"
"No. Go now, I hope you succeed in your endeavours." Lith shook his head and said.
Neo nodded and left the place quietly.
As he walked away, Lith looked at him and smiled. 'I wonder what he'll do to bed that dude's wife. Whatever it would be, there sure would be a lot of spice.'
Lith hadn't even become an immortal for a year and he was already looking for fun and spicy things in life. Well, it couldn't be helped. This was the innate nature of all beings with an infinite lifespan.
Lith left the training grounds after Neo left and made his way towards his mother. She was the only one remaining with whom he was yet to spend time with after waking up.
Although he had spent a little time when she made him freshen up and fed him her blood, that was just too little to be called spending time.
All the wives got their fair share of love and Lilith, being his mother, deserved it too, right?
As Lith walked through the hallways again and made his way from the outer area of the castle to the inner area, the transition was not just the change in appearance and style of the castle, but he also saw no male servant here in the inner areas.
There were just a few maids who he saw and greeted since they greeted him when they saw him and finally made his way to the Queen's chambers.
As he reached this place and was about to enter his mother's bedroom, from just a sneak peek inside, Lith raised both his eyebrows and thought to himself,
'Oh damn! What have I stumbled upon?'
