Lith was sitting in his mother’s embrace on the bed. Lilith was hugging him from behind and in front of Lith was Lucy sitting on the bed. Rena was on the chair attached to the study table, sleeping.
Caressing Lith’s hair, Lilith asked from behind, ” So, how is school going on?”
Lith leaned back onto his mother’s bosom, then looked up at his mother’s face from below and said, “well, mom, teacher is nice, I guess?”
Lilith looked at Lith with a smile indicating her interest in it. Lucy did the same thing too. Lith’s response seemed a bit weird and out of place to them, so they wanted to know why that was the case.
“Which teacher?” Lilith asked.
“My teacher, Arya Relgar.” Lith said, without any intention of speaking more.
“Hmm? Arya Relgar? An Emperor rank Death Dragon?” Lucy asked from the side.
“What? Dragon? Emperor rank?” Lith got up from his mother’s embrace and asked, looking at Lucy.
“Oh, I see. I don’t think my teacher is an Emperor rank though. She doesn’t have horns or a tail or anything indicating her being from the Dragon race. So she probably isn’t the one you’re talking about.” Lith replied after hearing his sister’s words.
“Your teacher is an Emperor rank, baby. She is one of those rare people who has a complete human form. And yes, she is also a Death Dragon.” Lilith cleared her children’s doubts.
“What!? Really!?” Lith asked in a bit of shock. It was only now did he realise that his teacher was such a big shot. He thought that she would be a normal King rank or Half Emperor rank maximum, but it turned out he was wrong.
“Yes. There are only three Emperor ranks present on this island. One is your teacher who is currently sleeping on the floor above, another is a Seraphim, the principal whom you might’ve met during the opening of the entrance exam, and the last one is the vice principal from the Human race.” Lilith answered Lith’s question.
‘Oh damn! Teacher is indeed a big shot! Heh, so just a few hours ago, I was in the bosom of an Emperor rank, nice, nice. Hehehe..’
Lith had a silly smile on his face as he thought of the things that took place a few hours ago with his teacher.
Both of them noticed Lith’s abnormality and shook their heads helplessly. It wasn’t their first time looking at him overthinking, it was the same as usual. They both looked at his silly smile and wondered what he was thinking.
Not trying to hold back her curiosity, Lilith asked with a smile, “are you thinking about doing something lewd with your teacher, baby?”
Lith snapped back to reality as he heard his mother’s question. He looked at her and said, waving his hands hurriedly,
“Eh, no, no ,no. Of course not…”
Lilith and Lucy both raised their eyebrows in suspicion. Something was definitely fishy. Lith never really showed such abnormal reactions and this was probably the first time they had seen such a reaction from him.
Lilith pondered over his reaction for a bit and asked after a second, “hmm, do you like her, baby? Do you want her as your lover?”
Lith froze after hearing such a question from his mother. He had never thought of taking anyone as a partner because he had his mother and sister all along, thus it made him freeze.
After a second, he composed himself, shoved aside all thoughts he was previously overthinking about and said, putting on a serious face,
“What are you asking, mom? Why would I think of such a thing?”
Lilith was taken aback and so was Lucy after looking at the sudden change in mood of Lith. Lilith nevertheless composed herself quickly and smilingly said,
“You’re a growing boy, baby. It’s normal for kids of your age to think about lewd thoughts and wanting to be with multiple partners. So, it’s normal if you think about taking your teacher as your partner.”
Lucy nodded her head in approval of her mother’s words. Though she wasn’t experienced enough like her mother, she was still 500 years old and knew many things, those feelings of pubescent kids, she knew them well and thus nodded her head as this was what she would’ve said in this situation too.
“Why would I want to be with multiple partners, mom? I have you and big sis by my side. What more do I need?” Lith asked, furrowing his brows.
Lilith sighed. It seems that her baby didn’t understand her thoughts well enough. She patted his head and explained calmly,
“Baby, you have us, yes. But, are you going to limit yourself to just us two? Will you not have any lover in the future? You love mom and your big sis as family. It’s a different type of love. You shouldn’t confuse it with the love one shares with their partners.
There are many types of love. There’s love for your favourite food, favourite toy, favourite pet, partner, family, friends and many more.
What you have right now, is familial love. So, you’re bound to have a partner whom you will love and that could happen now or in the far future. You can share such a type of love with one or multiple partners. It’s completely normal.
I was curious right now whether you found a perfect lover for yourself or not. But you seemed to have a confusion between family and lovers, so mom had to resort to clarifying it for you.”
Lith listened carefully to what his mother said and pondered over it. What she said indeed made sense, but something didn’t feel right to him. He looked at his mother and asked
“If that is the case mom, why do you and big sis not have a partner? Why only me?”
