Dragon Continent.
There was no way Lith would come to the Dragon Continent and not see Arya. It was impossible to do so because Alexandra was on some training grounds only she knew of.
For many decades now, Arya had been acting as Alexandra's older sister and she was actually loving this feeling. To pamper someone like that, love them, care for them, and watch them grow…
It all felt really good to her. To not keep such happiness to herself, Arya brought Emmy into the equation as well.
Now Alexandra was forcefully adopted by two older ladies as their younger sister and pampered by a great deal.
She didn't like the clinginess of the two, but she also didn't hate it. Though, the love she had for Arya and Emilia had gone up in her priority and it was now second only to her husband.
She loved these two sisters of hers more than she loved her clan.
Lith walked into the Empress' castle in Death Dragon City. He was welcomed in a grand manner and guided to where Arya was.
The three Supreme Ranks of the Dragons had the capital cities of their empires named after them.
The Dragons were doing much better than before as Arya took one part of them. They were happy to be under her care and living life to the fullest.
It was because Arya took over that the War Dragon Tribe got the opportunity to make full use of their potential. They weren't clashing internally anymore and got the chance to battle with others.
Every five years, the War Dragons were allowed to fight against one dragon tribe in a full scale war on a barren battlefield away from the main cities.
This ensured that all the tribes stayed healthy and working while getting proper stimulus to grow.
Every hundred years, there was also a tournament hosted that everyone above Rank 9 had to compulsorily take part.
The dragons were prideful creatures and didn't like losing. Hence, everybody was working hard to not lose to the maniacs that were the War Dragons.
That tribe was equipped with the best of the best battle techniques and whatever elements they had affinity to, they made a much better use of it than the single element tribes themselves.
This was a great place for Alexandra to train as she was constantly at war and battling.
Lith knew he wasn't putting in even ten percent of the hard work his wife Alexandra was doing. But that was fine. He wasn't ashamed of himself, rather proud of his wife for working so hard.
She needed a break now and he was here for that.
Walking inside Arya's room, Lith saw her standing in front of her table while taking support of it.
She was posing in a manner that flexed her perfectly sculpted body.
She wasn't wearing a formal suit anymore, rather, was in a regal black dress that made her bluish-silver hair and her face stand out.
She wasn't in a blindfold anymore, but Lith could see the blindfold on the table, making him understand that she had taken them off.
Lith smiled and getting close to Arya, said, "Oh my, who's this gorgeous lady here? Where has my work lady wife gone?"
Arya giggled softly and walking upto Lith, put her hands on his shoulders.
"Your wife's an Empress now. She needs to dress like one." Arya said with a smile.
Lith wrapped his arms around her waist and asked, "Am I allowed to touch the Empress then?"
"You should ask something like that before touching." Arya said and then sealed her lips with her husband's.
The kiss was warm and not something filled with lust. It was a gentle one, filled with passion and fervour.
As their kiss broke, a strand of saliva made a bridge between them, making the two smile and kiss once again.
Breaking the kiss, Arya asked, "You're here for Alexandra, yes?"
Lith didn't know how she knew, but he nodded his head nonetheless.
"To dual cultivate?" Arya asked again with a knowing smile.
Lith smiled and pinching her nose, asked back, "Someone's jealous?"
"Heh, do you think it's easy to make this Empress jealous?" Arya laughed after saying that.
Lith knew Arya was probably the last person among his wives to get jealous. Even his mother couldn't compare to her in this aspect.
Arya was the most understanding and perfect person with nothing wrong one could find out about her.
However, this was her flaw, her imperfection. She was so perfect that she was missing out on normal emotions.
She didn't actively try to be perfect, it was just her nature. Lith wondered if this was a quality since her birth or something she developed later on in her life.
In any case, Lith softly held her face and said, "Honey, you don't always have to think about my happiness, alright? It's okay to be selfish at times."
His comment made Arya wonder what got to him so suddenly to turn this serious.
She smiled and squished Lith's face between her palms, making his face look like a goldfish.
"What's with the sudden serious mood? Do I look like someone who only thinks about her husband's happiness?"
There she goes, thought Lith. She was perfect enough to blend in with each and every mood and make the conversation flow properly.
This was all natural and her real self, so Lith wasn't worried. But yeah, he hoped that like his other wives, Arya would think of her interests more.
Lith had a light chat with Arya on a few topics while enjoying the warmth of each other's embrace.
Finally, he said, "I am really sorry, honey. You're going to be the last person I'll go on a honeymoon with."
Arya pinched Lith's nose. "Don't worry, I am happy with that fact. If I am at last, I'll get to spend more time with you."
Lith didn't know if her logic was correct, but he just nodded his head.
"The honeymoon has been delayed for far too long, I am not going to have you wait for longer."
Arya smiled. "Good then. Go wind up the things and come to me quickly."
Lith nodded but then shook his head. "I have a few things to talk about before leaving."
The two sat down on the couch as Lith said that and Arya poured themselves some tea.
"You've got the whole underworld with you right, honey?" Lith asked and took a sip of tea.
Arya nodded. "Do you need me to do something?"
"Yes. There's a list of dirty work that needs to be done." Lith gave it to her straight.
"Oh?" Arya was interested. "You're finally planning on using your wife's organization?"
It had been so many years since she had Scelestus and was also the Ruler of the Underworld. She never felt irked by this, but after being in love with Lith and then getting married, she was feeling slightly dejected knowing he had no use of her organizations.
On some days Arya felt that she was useless, but then, watching Lith use the services of the Nine Roses Hotels around the world and also of a few things here and there kept her going.
She could also tell after a while that it's not that her husband didn't want to use her organizations, it was just that he didn't have any use in particular.
Lith didn't do a lot of stuff in the real world. Either he was busy in some inheritance or dungeon or he was busy in the Royal Castle or spending time with his wives.
Not to mention, he had been sleeping for eight decades now, so there was that.
However, Arya was finally happy knowing that her husband had come to her to make use of her organization.
She looked at him with interest and wondered what he had in mind.
Lith looked at Arya and nodded his head, not giving in to the teasing. He was serious right now, so he planned to have a proper discussion.
"There will be a request regarding mercenaries and assassinations on various important people of the world. I want you to look after that and ensure the jobs are properly done. Also, you have people available to be deployed right?"
Arya nodded her head. She didn't know what her husband was planning, but she found this interesting.
Lith smiled. "Good. I want you to have people deployed in these places during…"
It took an hour's worth of explanation and finally when he was done, Arya couldn't help but grin widely and ask, "Honey, are you brewing a world war?"
Lith chuckled. "Who knows?"
"Hehe. I'll be looking forward to this."
Lith nodded and after a bit more of talking, Arya opened up a portal for him to go see Alexandra.
Lith then went inside the portal after kissing Arya goodbye.
