บท 34: Divine dinner
Lilith's father, Isaac, bought her a mansion for times like these. He bought her so she could bring her friends without making suspicions about where she lives.
Lucas and Sarah followed Lilith through the large mansion. Isaac filled the house with luxurious furniture and expensive decorations everywhere. They passed several rooms before finally arriving at the dining room.
"Dinner's ready." the trio heard maid's voice from within the kitchen. "Follow me."
The three of them entered the dining hall and found the table set already.
"Wow..." Lucas whistled in amazement. "This place is enormous."
"It's a lot bigger than my family's house." Sarah agreed.
"It's alright. You should see the house that I lived before coming to Lightburn... I mean Elemental kingdom." Lilith proudly said.
"It's even bigger?!" Sarah and Lucas gasped in shock.
"Well... If we compared, this place would be tiny ." Lilith asked with a big grin.
Lilith was not exaggerating. She had an entire castle in Isaac's world. The only difference between this house and her old one was the amount of decoration inside. They filled this mansion with beautiful paintings, statues, tapestries, and other priceless artifacts.
"Ah... Wow..." Sarah looked around at the impressive interior and shook her head. "I really envy you, Lilith."
"Uh... Thank you." Lilith smiled. "But you don't need to. I don't care about this stuff. If you find anything you like inside the castle, just take it."
"EH?!" Sarah gasped. "I can't steal things!"
"I said 'take it', not 'steal'!" Lilith rolled her eyes. 'It's not like I can't create these things with magic, anyway.' Lilith thought to herself with a chuckle.
While all this was happening, Lilith's father Isaac was waiting for them inside his study. He greeted them with a warm smile.
"Hello, girls." Isaac's father smiled. "Hello Lucas's."
"This is my father, Isaac Gold." Lilith introduced her father with a forced smile and turned to him. "My father was not supposed to be here." She said with an irritated tone.
"Hello, mister Gold." Lucas bowed. 'He looks so young. What the heck?' Lucas thought when he noticed Isaac's face. Silver hair, golden eyes and teenage appearance. 'Wait a minute, what?. WHAT?!' Lucas's inner self screamed in realization. 'THIS IS A GOD! That means...' Lucas gazed at Lilith with wide eyes. 'THAT MEANS THAT SHE IS A DAMN GODDESS!'
"Greetings, Lucas." Isaac smiled warmly. "Do you and Lilith get along?"
"Y-Yes... sir." Lucas's eyes stared at the floor, avoiding an eye contact with Isaac. "Please forgive us if we are annoying."
"Not at all," Isaac replied with a friendly smile. "I am glad that you two get along."
"Hey!" Lilith slapped Lucas's shoulder. "Why are you so tense? Relax!"
"Huh?" Lucas raised his brows. "Y-Yeah... Sorry." Lucas gazed at Lilith and the first thought that came into his mind was 'SHE IS A GODDESS?! WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING IN LIGHTBURN?!'
"Well, we're here." Lilith pointed at the table. "Let's wait for food."
Isaac pulled a chair out for Lilith and motioned for Lucas and Sarah to sit down next to her. Lucas sat down nervously, staring at the space above Isaac's head.
"So, Lucas..." Isaac said after a brief silence. "How do you like Lightburn. Uh... Elemental kingdom?"
"Dad!" Lilith kicked his leg. "Stop it! You're making him nervous!"
"Oh, sorry." Isaac smiled awkwardly. "By the way, Lucas, I heard that you're powerless."
"Uh... Yeah..." Lucas muttered nervously and gazed at Sarah, who did not know that Lucas was an angel.
"I see..." Isaac smiled after noticing Lucas's gazes toward Sarah. "Well, if anyone bullied you. Tell my dear Lilith. She will protect you."
"Y-Yeah... Thanks..." Lucas gazed at Lilith uncomfortably. 'Why the hell did this brat took us here? This person is the most dangerous being in an entire world, if not the universe!'
"What's wrong with you?" Lilith asked him.
"It's nothing." Lucas waved her off and tried to focus on the conversation.
After a few minutes, a maid brought a tray of food. "Here you go, miss Lilith." The maid curtsied and left the room.
"Dig in!" Isaac said with a grin.
"Thanks." Lilith said with a smile. She began eating happily.
Sarah joined Lilith and Isaac, while Lucas simply stared at the food for a few minutes.
Everyone eating made him realize he had eaten nothing ever since he entered Lightburn planet. He didn't even think about it until now. 'I didn't even realize that I stopped feeling hunger.' Lucas thought as he stared at a steak, mashed potatoes, and salad in front of him.
"Try it, Lucas. It is delicious." Isaac urged him with a friendly smile.
"Umm..." Lucas picked up a fork and ate. He noticed how juicy and salty the stake was. "Salty."
"Oh... Sorry. The cooks made food the way I like it." Isaac awkwardly chuckled.
"No problem." Lucas said with a mouthful of food. "I like salty food as well."
"Mmmm..." Sarah groaned in pleasure. "So good!"
Lilith's stomach growled. "Ah... I'm getting hungry again." She said with a blush on her cheeks.
"..." Sarah and Lucas sat quiet making Lilith uncomfortable. She gazed at her father angrily, cursing him in her head. 'WHY THE HELL DID YOU COME HERE?!'
"Anyway." Sarah cleared her throat and changed the subject. "Where do you live, Lilith? I mean, you mentioned you're not from the Elemental kingdom."
"Well, you could say I am from the Holy kingdom." Lilith chuckled. "My mother is from there. While my dad... well... It's classified information."
Lucas gazed at her with shock in his eyes 'Classified information, my butt! Neither of you are even from this world.' and sighed.
"You're from the Holy kingdom?" Sarah gasped and gazed at Lucas. She was worried that Lucas might get irritated and would want to leave after they mentioned his old home.
"Yes." Isaac smiled. "They're a peaceful nation. They're like our neighbors and allies. We've been trading goods with them for ages."
Lucas stared at Isaac in disbelief. 'Peaceful nation? You call a kingdom that constantly harass their neighboring countries and kingdoms PEACEFUL?' but stayed quiet. He understood Isaac might be a little biased, because the Holy kingdom's religion worship him.
"Lucas, can we talk?" Isaac suddenly asked with a worried expression. "I need to ask you something."
"Dad? Lilith glared at Isaac, but he didn't pay her any attention. "Daaad!"
"Uh... We can, sir." Lucas nodded nervously. 'H-He can't read my mind... Can he?' Lucas thought to himself.
"Would you like to learn Zorian's blessing?"
