Chapter 240: Crimson Heart
Lilith merely blinked when she felt Richard’s touch in the middle of their conversation.
With their relationship now official and the fact that they had already done it, Lilith was clearly not surprised that Richard would try something like this again when they were alone.
On the other hand, seeing how calm Lilith’s reaction was, Richard immediately wrapped an arm around her waist, spun them around to change their position, then sat down on the throne while pulling Lilith onto his lap.
"I’m madly in love with you," Richard said.
To Lilith’s ears, those words were clearly absurd, causing her to roll her eyes.
Richard continued to stare at her beautiful face, unable to stop himself from caressing features so perfect.
Words were truly not enough to describe her beauty.
What was certain was that the desire in Richard’s eyes was as vast as the ocean.
"To the bedroom. This isn’t a place where we can do dirty things, or the elders will get angry," Lilith said.
Richard was captivated by her words, because they clearly contained an invitation.
Although it was slightly disappointing that they could not do it in the hall, Richard understood that this was a long-standing rule of the kingdom, meant to respect the space where kings and nobles had worked since the kingdom’s founding.
Making love there would certainly be an act of disrespect.
Richard immediately stood up, still holding Lilith by the waist.
He lifted her body.
"Then we’ll go to the bedroom," Richard said before taking a step forward.
Lilith let herself be carried by the young man, who moved with great urgency.
Reaching the bedroom took only a short moment for Richard. He even pushed the door open with his foot.
After entering the room, he set Lilith down, who already seemed prepared with her wild side.
No, that wasn’t quite right. More accurately, Lilith herself desired that wild side.
The moment her feet touched the floor, Richard kissed her and pushed her toward the bed.
When everything began, Lilith was clearly no longer as stiff as the first time, nor was she as shy about showing her body to Richard.
She seemed to enjoy their night much more, something evident from her more alluring moans.
After who knew how long, they finally finished, yet Richard still did not get off her body, continuing to press down on her from above.
"Boy, lie down beside me," Lilith said in a commanding tone.
"No, I still want it like this," Richard replied, refusing her order.
Even though their session of pleasure was already over, Richard felt happy as he pressed against Lilith’s body.
Lilith rolled her eyes with an unhappy expression, but Richard still did not comply.
He then buried his face into her neck and fell asleep like that.
Lilith looked helpless.
She didn’t mind sleeping while embracing each other, but being pressed like this made breathing slightly difficult.
Even so, she still did not use her strength to force Richard off her.
In the end, she tried to sleep like that as well.
They both slept so soundly that they only woke up when the sun was already bright.
Naturally, their positions had changed by the time they woke.
Richard was no longer on top of Lilith, but beside her.
However, they were still holding each other.
Lilith felt slightly uneasy when she saw that the sun was already high.
Today, she had important work to do. The officials might already have arrived at the palace.
However, she knew that morning was the time when a man’s wild side rose again.
How could she possibly just leave?
Richard might chase after her to the hall.
"Boy, stop fooling around. Do it now," Lilith said.
Once again, Richard was captivated by her words.
He nodded as if accepting an order, then began pressing her down once more.
Don’t say that only he wanted it. After all, the woman had already become wet after just a few touches.

After everything was over, Richard was left alone in the bedroom.
Lilith clearly no longer dared to entrust work matters to him.
This also gave him some free time.
Richard lazed around for a while before going to the bathroom to take a warm bath.
Today, he wanted to increase his Aether. That would directly enhance his strength.
However, he was thinking about where he could do it.
That was the difficult part.
He didn’t get any ideas at all until he finished bathing.
After getting dressed, he went to the front part of the room where he could see the palace courtyard and the officials coming and going.
To his surprise, among those leaving was the Red Star Empress.
Richard hadn’t expected her to have come to the palace. He wondered what she was doing there.
After leaving the palace, the Red Star Empress immediately departed in her carriage, alone.
She seemed to be heading out of the city.
"Did Lilith give her a task?" Richard wondered, feeling tempted to follow her, but then thinking that it would be inappropriate.
He did have his eyes on the Red Star Empress, but he couldn’t just interfere with her affairs when she had personal business to attend to.
After thinking for a moment, Richard left the palace and flew toward the mountain where the secret place of the Skylight Clan was located.
He was going to meet the White Ancestor to ask for guidance.
Upon entering that secret place, he soon encountered the manifestation of the White Ancestor.
"Boy, why have you come here?" the White Ancestor asked Richard directly.
"I want Aether. I think I can now gather around 100,000 Aether," Richard replied, getting straight to the point.
He wasn’t expecting the White Ancestor to help him directly. He was merely hoping to get an idea from him.
"It seems you lack patience..." the White Ancestor chuckled.
"I want to become a Lord as soon as possible," Richard replied.
"Hm, it’s indeed easy for you to raise your limits, but the most difficult part is the final barrier. You might get stuck there forever and never become a Lord," the White Ancestor said.
"That won’t happen..." Richard said with absolute confidence.
"Do you have any ideas, Ancestor, on how I can quickly increase my Aether?" Richard asked again.
"Yes, of course. In fact, I’ve already prepared it for you," the White Ancestor replied, greatly surprising Richard.
"What is it?" he asked instinctively.
"I’ll explain later... The key point is, you need to find something first."
"Find something?"
"Yes, something that only the Order of the Crimson Veil possesses. You can think of how to obtain it yourself—whether by trading with them or robbing them. Of course, the former makes more sense. Who would be brave enough to rob them in their own territory, hahaha..."
"What item do I need to obtain, Ancestor?" Richard asked.
"The Crimson Heart... You can look up the information yourself later."
