Chapter 458 Finding Lilith
Chapter 458 Finding Lilith
In the evening, a party took place once again. However, this time Lathel did not need to drink alcohol; on the contrary, he became the best chef in the Empire.
The delicious dishes were irresistible to the maids, and they kept eating without stopping.
Lathel grilled meat while looking at this warm scene. Everyone talked freely, with smiles on their faces that truly came from their hearts.
He looked at everyone and felt more comfortable, as if the negative emotions he got from seeing the memories in the other world had disappeared.
Lathel felt that… him recovering those memories was not wrong. At least… They were memorable memories.
Currently, he has a new life in this world, a warm family, and women who are willing to stay by his side and sacrifice themselves for him.
Even though Charlotte is dead now, it’s only temporary, as Laura gave him hope of reviving her.
Besides, he still didn’t know Iritellis’ whereabouts; however, he believes that she is still living a good life.
Lathel knew that Iritellis had another mission to complete, and he couldn’t force her to return to his side.
Now, he just needs to find a way to replenish his life energy to preserve Charlotte’s soul and then find Dorothy’s family.
Even though he didn’t know if he would be able to get the blood stone, he had no other option.
He must revive Charlotte.
“Ah! Wait! It seems like I forgot something.” Lathel suddenly felt like he had forgotten something and frowned in thought.
“Lilith…” Lathel was startled, as he instantly remembered her. He glanced around, but he still couldn’t find Lilith, and he felt confused.
‘Strange, at times like this, she definitely has to appear. Why is she not here now, especially since it concerns me?’
‘Maybe… she doesn’t know I’m back?’
‘Impossible! She definitely knows I’m back; maybe… is it because I killed Alec that Lilith left?’
Lathel frowned as he wondered why Lilith wasn’t here.
“Young master…” Akna suddenly appeared, walking to Lathel’s side.
Seeing her, Lathel also hurriedly asked: “Ah, Akna. Do you know where Lilith is?”
Akna bowed her head, bit her lip, then said: “Young master, she…”
…
In the heart of a small house, an hour by horse from the empire. Although the house is small, it is somewhat lovely, and it makes one feel peaceful.
Inside the house, Rolen sighed, not knowing how to comfort Lilith.

Lilith lay on the bed, face down, on the pillow. She cried until her pillow was wet.
“Lilith, you’ve been crying for seven days. If you keep crying, I’m afraid you will go blind.” Rolen hastily advised her.
“Ignore me!” Lilith said: “I have become like this; how can I still meet him? He definitely won’t like an ugly old woman like me.”
Rolen pouted and said: “You’re thinking too much.” I think the young master is a good person; he certainly won’t hate you. On the contrary, he thanked you for trying to help Charlotte.”
“Shut up!” Lilith angrily shouted: “I don’t need your comfort. I know… all men like beautiful women; I have become old and ugly, like a withered flower; no butterfly or bee wants me anymore.”
“Even if bees and butterflies don’t like you, I still like you.”
A familiar voice rang out, and the door was pushed open, revealing a young man that Lilith had dreamed of.
“Lathel… why… Why did you come here?” Lilith was startled as she raised her head to look at Lathel.
He also saw her current state, just like Charlotte. Lilith’s skin was now full of wrinkles, and she looked like a 70-year-old woman.
“You… Lathel… No! Do not look!” Lilith quickly used the blanket to cover her body: “Please… I… I am very ugly right now. I… don’t look at me…”
Lathel glanced at Rolen, but Rolen was stupid, so she did not understand the meaning of that look.
Akna sighed, walked to Rolen’s side, and said softly: “Come out with me for a bit.”
“Heh?! But… Lilith is still crying; I have to comfort her.” Rolen quickly spoke up.
“You comforted her these past seven days; has she stopped crying?”
Rolen: “…”
Akna’s words were like a knife, piercing Rolen’s heart: “This…”
“Okay, leave everything to Young Master; he can solve all problems.”
Hearing that, Rolen’s eyes lit up: “Ah! You’re right, Young Master is the best, the best.”
She walked up to Lathel, smiling innocently: “Young master, I will leave Lilith to you. Hehehehe…”
Lathel: “…”
He felt that Rolen was too naive, but that was also what he liked about her.
She was so innocent that it made people just want to protect her. Lathel didn’t understand why Alec would throw away a girl like this.
Ah! Lathel suddenly remembered a problem… It was because of his ‘Comet’ card.
He sighed and shook his head, waited for Akna and Rolen to leave, then closed the door.
Lathel slowly approached Lilith, speaking softly: “Akna told me everything. You…sacrificed your life energy to help Charlotte, right?”
“This…” Lilith trembled. Even though the blanket covered her, Lathel could still see her trembling as if she were afraid of something terrible.
Lathel sighed, sat on the bed, and gently hugged Lilith: “Don’t worry, I don’t hate you.”
Lilith was startled. Even though Lathel actively hugged her, she was excited, but she knew it was because he pitied her.
“I… you should wait for me for a while; I will find enough materials to restore your life energy, and then I will come back to find you.” Lilith stammered.
Lathel hugged her even tighter. Even though only a layer of blanket separated their bodies, he could feel Lilith’s body temperature increase.
“It’s okay; just wait for me. I also know that you are from Earth, right?”
“What?!” Lilith was startled, and she quickly lifted the blanket to face Lathel.
Lilith was embarrassed; her face was red. Although being able to come into close contact with Lathel was her dream, she did not want to use her current ugly appearance to meet him.
She quickly turned her head away, but suddenly, two warm hands immediately held her face.
“If you are ugly, try to become more beautiful.”
Hearing Lathel speak, Lilith suddenly remembered when she still lived on Earth.
At that time… when she was most desperate… and miserable… when she was just one step away from death.
At that time, Lathel appeared, and he also said that sentence.
“If you are ugly, try to become more beautiful. Seeking death is for cowards.”
“You…” Lilith stammered: “You… you know who I am?”
Lathel nodded slightly, then shook her head again: “Just remember a little; don’t remember too much. After all, I died once on Earth; there are many things I have forgotten.”
Lilith pursed her lips, trying to stop her tears from flowing, but it was all meaningless.
Tears still flowed; it was just that… This time, Lathel helped her wipe away her tears.
“Don’t cry; you will become very ugly.” Lathel smiled and said: “You sacrificed your life energy to save Charlotte; I should thank you.”
“But… I…” Lilith gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.
“Okay, you don’t have to say it. However, my status and yours are very different. Right now, I still cannot accept your feelings.”
Lilith nodded repeatedly: “Uhm! I know; don’t worry, I will obediently listen to what you say.”
“Very good!” Lathel gently patted Lilith’s head.
This scene was a bit contradictory: a young man was patting the head of a woman who appeared to be 70 years old, but that woman enjoyed his warm hands.
“Come back to the castle with me; I will help you collect materials to increase your life energy.” Lathel said.
Lilith nodded, like a little cat nestling in his arms.
…
A moment later, Lathel held Lilith’s hand and went out. Rolen, sitting outside with Akna, saw this and was startled.
But then she remembered that the old woman was Lilith; she scratched her head and said: “I… still feel that this image is a bit unsightly.”
Lilith: “…”
“If you don’t talk, people won’t think you’re dumb!” Lilith said angrily.
Rolen pouted: “I’m only telling the truth. My young master is so young and handsome, yet he is holding the hand of a 70-year-old woman. This image was so unsightly that it was nauseating.”
Lilith: ( ; ￣ Д ￣ )
“ROLEN! You want to die, right?”
Rolen quickly hid behind Akna, she stuck out her tongue and said: “Bleh! Bleh! Do you think I’m afraid of you? Akna is here; if you bully me, she will punish you.”
Lilith was so angry that her head felt like it was about to explode. Lathel then smiled happily and patted her shoulder: “Don’t be angry, it will easily make you old quickly.”
“Lathel…” Lilith looked at him emotionally.
“Heh?!” Rolen now interrupted Lilith’s emotions: “I feel like she is very old; she can’t get any older.”
“AAA!!! Lathel, don’t stop me! I have to break her face.”
“AAA!! Save me, Akna.”
“Stop!”
“Wait! Don’t chase me.”
Lathel felt happy as he stood next to Akna while watching Lilith chase Rolen.
“Akna, I never thought I would meet you and her in this world. Everything feels like a dream.” Lathel said smiling.
Akna bowed her head and smiled happily: “That’s thanks to the good deeds that Young Master has done.”
