Lilith and Lucy both chuckled at Lith’s question. It was Lucy who patted Lith’s head and explained,

“Because we have no interest in having one. Mom only cares about one person from the opposite gender, and it’s you. She has no interest in having a partner. There are people out there like that too. Many don’t want to be with partners.

The witches are a fine example of that. Many prefer being single all their life and only care about wealth.

As for me, I too, like mom, don’t have any interest in any person from the opposite gender apart from you. I don’t need the love partner mom just talked about.

I am more interested in battles and power, rather than a partner. Plus, I have you to fulfill my ‘those’ needs.

Many want a lover or partner just to fulfil such a thing. Do you understand me?”

“That’s right. I am also only interested in taking care of both of you. I don’t need a partner.” Lilith nodded her head in understanding and added.

This was also his first time asking about his father. He has been curious for years about his father’s identity but since his mother didn’t tell him and he had every need of his fulfilled, he didn’t ask his mother about it.

What if there was something tragic that happened with his father due to which his mother and sister had some type of trauma related to it? Asking a question related to his father would only lead to his mother and sister being sad, which he didn’t want to do. Thus, he refrained himself from asking such questions but now that an opportunity arose, he asked it.

“Fufufu…I told you baby, didn’t I? I have no interest in anyone from the opposite gender. I wanted to have babies which was made possible with the help of witches.

The witches have everything you could ask for. All you need to do is pay a price. I naturally did the same and the Supreme rank of the witches helped me with it. The things that happened at that time were…” Lilith told Lith about the story of how he and Lucy were born.

Lith was shocked once again listening to his mother’s explanation. After his mother finished explaining, he asked, “Mom, do you feel no guilt in killing another Supreme rank just like that?”

“No. Why would I? You’re still young so you might not know how the world works but mom will tell you a little today. The prawns are eaten by the small fish, the small fish by the big fish and the big fish by an even bigger fish. The laws of the world work in the same way.

The strongest fist rules and the road to the top is through crossing the river of blood and climbing above the mountain of corpses of other people. No one at the top is a saint, baby.

The person I killed wasn’t strong enough to protect himself, that was his fault.

It’s not just that. Had I not been strong, I would’ve taken as a slave and raped day and night by vile people. This was not just a possibility, this was a thing that almost happened to me many times in the past. But thankfully, your mama was strong enough to protect herself.

The Supreme rank I killed was a person who used to look at me lecherously everytime the Supreme rank meeting occurred but I always let that slide. Anyway, Florencia just gave me a reason and I used it as an excuse to kill him.

Fufufu…mama is evil, isn’t she?” Lilith explained calmly and asked the question chuckling at the end.

Lith had no idea how to react. Should he be sad or angry knowing that his mother almost got raped in the past, be happy that she was strong or be shocked that she could kill Supreme ranks so easily.

His mind was in turmoil, today he was getting shocks after shocks. He never would’ve believed that his mother had such a past and his own story of being born would be like this.

After a few minutes of pondering over and thinking through many things, he calmed down and said while smiling to his mother,

“No, mom. You aren’t evil. It’s the circumstances that made you choose these things. I do not blame you one bit for it.” After saying this much he thought to himself, ‘If someone ever blames you for it, they’d not live to see the day again.’

Holding his mother’s face with both his hands, he said with a smile, “No matter what, you are and will always be my mom and I will never blame you for anything. I love you, mom.”

Lilith’s eyes were a bit moist after she heard this from her son. She wanted nothing but her children’s love and to take care of them. Saying just a simple line such as this was enough for her. She felt as if she’s achieved everything in life after she heard this from Lith.

She hugged him and rested her head on his shoulder, trying her best to not show her tears to Lith or Lucy.

Lucy joined in too and they did a three way hug. Lilith sneakily willed the wind and water elements around her face and cleaned her face ensuring that no tears were seen.

Composing herself, she broke the hug and said to Lith, “fufufu…we seem to have gone off topic. Not slightly but by a huge margin. Anyway, back to it. Mom has a thing that she needs to tell you.

My baby, please know, mom and your big sis will always love you. Our love will always be familial and familial love is the strongest among all.

A partner may leave you someday and your bond with her may break at that time. However, the bond of us being mother-son and you having the sister-brother bond with Lucy, it will never break, no matter what.

So, don’t be afraid to have a partner. No, not just one, mama has no problems even if you make a harem.”
