King of succubus-Chapter 251 Lith & Saria.

Regardless of the concerns of Linn and Zenof, some creatures had problems just as worrying as these two beings; The race of ancient beasts.

On a planet that had nothing to envy to the planet of the Punishers, whether in size or rank, Sestia, who had just returned from his mission, was kneeling in front of two women in a secret room.

"Seeing you so silent without being accompanied by this human that you were supposed to bring back... I guess you failed? But tell me, do you have an explanation for my little brother's absence in this room?" One of the two women, who had long silvery white hair and two long red horns on her temples, expressed herself first.

She had ruby red eyes with strange patterns, pointed ears covered with red scales, magical beauty, and a perfect hourglass silhouette; the empress of the dragons, Lith Inferno.

Sestia's body shivered to fear when she heard the red dragons’ current empress’ questions.

"Well, even if I am just as curious as you, Empress Lith, I think it is important to give a little time to my first lady to organize her words to explain illicitly and transparently the details of the mission." The empress of the phoenixes, Saria Vermillion, intervened as Lith put pressure on her subordinate.

Like their ancestors, phoenixes and red dragons always had deep relationships, in the positive sense of the word, between them.

But Seria and Lith are like two sisters of the same blood because of their time together since childhood. Unlike dragons, phoenixes still have female leaders, not because it is a matriarchal race but because of the disproportionate power of females who far exceed male phoenixes.

That is why a meticulous selection will be made with each new generation to choose among the most talented future candidates, the next empress. This custom of selection is also similar to red dragons’.

And to solidify their alliances, after selecting a future sovereign, the two species allow their two future Leaders to grow together to get closer. In other words, it is a strategy to prevent discord between their races. Two childhood friends who become two respective leaders of two clans...

"Sigh, I got carried away without me knowing it." Lith immediately stopped when he heard Saria's words, whose glamour was not inferior to that of Lith. But unlike Lith, who was dressed in a tight black dress, Saria wore a silky white Kimono with pink lotus motifs. Her pupils and hair were the same color as other phoenixes.

"It doesn't matter. Speak now, Sestia; what happened during your mission?" The empress then seriously asked.

Following this order from her empress, Sestia began her report without omitting any details.

After a minute, she had finished her report, leaving Lith and Saria speechless.

"Very well, you can leave now." Lith, the first to return to reality, pronounced these words impassively.

"As you wish, Empress Lith." Following these words, Sestia left the room.

But just seeing the expression of two empresses, she understood that they were unaware of Linn's presence alongside Alvine on one of their planets.

Will they abandon Balakh to his fate? But after such a sin towards the Queen of Space, I can guess how dangerous the situation is. Although on the other hand, Balakh is one of the most favored candidates to become the future emperor of dragons, coupled with the fact that he is the half-brother of Empress Lith, so there is no chance that she will abandon her own brother... I hope so.' Sestia grumbled these words for herself as she joined the others to wait for the decision of their empresses.

On the side of Lith and Saria, the two did not say a word after Sestia left.

"Sigh, it's delicate."

"Indeed, Balakh, despite his strength and talent as a leader, is also an idiot who has fun in such situations. That is why he has not yet inherited the title of heir to the throne, unlike Sestia, who inherited your brilliant mind and title as future Empress." Lith could only agree with her childhood friend.

Saria got up from her black chair of dark gold and leaned on the back of Lith's chair while calmly reflecting on the current situation.

"But the most important is to know how to solve such a crisis before these old seniles realize it." Lith, for her part, continued to list the problems they would face in such a situation.

By 'old senile', she spoke of the elders of their races who secluded themselves to continue their meditations whose sole purpose is to reach the primordial rank.

And as dragons and phoenixes are almost immortal, to leave a place a chance for the development of new generations, a sovereign is only entitled to a millennium of reign before retiring after the selection of a new emperor/empress. In other words, the elders in question are actually former emperors; hence their powers and influences cannot be contradicted even by the current empresses.

"We have no choice; it is a sensitive situation that we are obliged to report to them; we need their wisdom," Saria whispered these words in a light tone while standing behind Lith's chair and playing with her silvery white hair as a way to relax. Such proximity between two sovereigns of different races would be an unprecedented event for Alvine, especially in such a universe.

But for these two, it is not surprising, given their childhoods lived together.

"Exactly, that's the problem. You know the elders, just like me; giving them such information is like abandoning my brother in the hands of this woman obsessed with her nobility. And even if I know my brother is wrong, learn that he will live a life of slavery until the end; it's really...

"Chuut~, believe me on my word, nothing like this will happen. I can even guarantee they will compliment us and then do everything to solve this situation without us having to move a finger." She slightly pinched de Lith's cheek while cleverly pronouncing these words.

"Sigh, I know the situation will...hm? Are you sure of what you say?" Lith stopped in the middle of her sentence after becoming aware of the meanings of Saria's words.

"Absolutely! Trust me, even if everything did not go as planned, this unfortunate incident opened up several opportunities for us. If we handle our cards well, you can be sure that we will submit these lazy tortures, which are proud of their intelligence and fiery tigers!" Saria continued with a mysterious smile. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Seeing her in this way, being one of the people who knew her better than anyone else, Lith did not take Saria's words lightly, even though they approached the unfeasible!

"Saria, it's not that I doubt you, but I'm not sure I understand the same thing as you, at least, as long as you don't give me a little explanation." She said with a nervous tone that attested to her impatience.

"Fufu~, what is the primitive quest our respective races have been pursuing since the beginning?" She then asked.

"The first quest? Do you mean the reason why our elders remain secluded to cultivate for millennia?" Lith frowned, more confused than before.

"Yes, as an ancient creature, regardless of our talent, we cannot change the nature of our existence. As a result, no matter how narrow these old seniles are, I'm sure they, too, have realized this sad reality. But in your opinion, why do they pursue this goal without hope and are ready to do anything to rise to the same level as primordial beings?"

"...Hmm, because they can't abandon the customs of our ancestors?" Lith replied after a brief reflection.

"No, no, maybe that's what they make us believe. Think carefully, my dear Lith; if you were in their places, would you make so much effort even though you know it's lost in advance?"

"...So, is it perhaps out of despair?"

"Hm? I don't think their steel wills can collapse so easily. But let's take an example. Our creator is known to be fair to her children that we are, but if this is true, don't you find it unfair that she is the origin of such injustice? From their arrival, the primordial beings are above all. Then, we are in second place, and after we, the most talented mortals, as well as the simple mortals with unfavorable conditions and chances from their birth. This injustice between the three major groups: the primordials, the deities, and finally, the mortals. Why did she, known as righteous, create these three different groups with disproportionate powers?"

In making this brief reminder, Lith did not accuse her of her lack of respect for their creators. But she became even more confused when Saria reminded her of facts everyone knew.

"Sigh, go straight to the point; you complicate things for me." She finally gave up. What made them the ultimate duo was none other than their synchronizations.

Saria had superior intelligence, but her strength was far lower than that of Lith, which did not mean she was weak. It is reciprocal for Lith also, who had an extraordinary power but was not convinced to beat Seria in a death fight if the latter used all her power and intelligence. The saying that intelligence is power plays a crucial role among this duo.

"Sigh, very good. So how do you think a mortal by birth manages to rise and make a place for herself among the deities?"

"...! You mean...?!"

"Yes, through The cultivation; seen like that, it's quite unrealistic since if it were so simple, then most of our ancestors would currently be primordial mages. But just like the trigger that elevates a mortal to the divine rank, which is commonly called divine tribulations, there must also be a trigger that also makes it possible to raise beings like us to the primordial rank!" She ended her little speech with these words, leaving Lith time to organize her thoughts.

After a minute of reflection, Lith had the impression that all the puzzles had been resolved.

"Everything makes sense now." She murmured, remembering the previous events that made them want to meet Alvine.

"Absolutely. Do you now understand why I trusted the premonitory dream I had? Because the true author of this dream could not be anyone but our goddess. Mortals who have become deities will never be powerful enough to play with our minds, and these primordials are not charitable enough to guide us to the same level as them. They are already struggling to accept that their pairs are in the same rank as them. That led me to conclude that regardless of the identity of this being, he must not be an enemy. I had doubts that I wanted to correct after meeting this human, but everything became clear following the information Sestia had just given us. Why would the Queen of Space care about the fate of a simple human and spare him despite his insults to her and in front of everyone in addition to that?"
