Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160:- Saint Lilith’s Fear and Worries [i]

“This is Sasha, the Goddess of Lust.” Athena introduced the next woman before adding with a hint of pride. “She is also the most skilled and dangerous assassin in the Six Continents. Normally, I would say that she is the greatest assassin in the entire world, but we still don’t know much about the assassins of the Main Continent or how their skills compare to hers.”

“Oh my!” Elena looked at Sasha with genuine surprise. Although she naturally knew about the Goddess of Lust, she had not expected her to possess such an impressive second identity. “That’s actually very impressive.”

Before Sasha could respond, Lilith could no longer remain silent. Despite being more nervous about meeting Aditya’s parents than almost anyone else present, the moment the subject shifted toward her daughter’s abilities, her nervousness was temporarily replaced by a mother’s pride.

“My daughter is the deadliest and most skilled assassin in the entire world. There is no doubt about that.” Lilith confidently declared.

“Of course, she might struggle against cultivators whose cultivation is much higher than her own. But when it comes purely to assassination skills, I don’t believe there is anyone greater than her.” Lilith’s confidence in her daughter was absolute.

She knew Sasha’s abilities better than almost anyone else, having watched her grow and develop those skills over the years. “If Sasha is considered the second-greatest assassin in the world, then I don’t believe there is anyone skilled enough to claim the first position.”

Hearing such confident praise, Elena smiled before looking at Lilith for a moment. She did not need anyone to explain the relationship between Lilith and Sasha. The similarities in their appearances were simply too obvious.

Although there were enough differences to distinguish them, their facial features alone were enough for Elena to conclude that Lilith was most likely Sasha’s mother.

“I agree. My daughter-in-law is the best.” Elena replied with a cheerful smile.

She then stepped closer to Sasha and gently took her slightly nervous hands into her own. Sasha had remained unusually quiet throughout the introduction, but Elena’s warm attitude immediately helped ease some of her nervousness.

“You can call me Mother.” Elena said warmly while gently holding Sasha’s hands.

“From now on, you have a second mother.” For a brief moment, Sasha simply looked at Elena without knowing how to respond. She had naturally expected to be accepted as Aditya’s future wife, but Elena’s immediate willingness to treat her as her own daughter still brought a warm feeling to her heart.

“Mo… Mother!”

Hearing Sasha finally call her Mother, Elena looked extremely satisfied. Sasha was not particularly good at openly expressing her emotions, especially when compared to someone like Riya. With the nervousness and shyness she was feeling from meeting Aditya’s parents for the first time, simply managing to call Elena Mother was already enough for her.

Athena then moved on to the next person. “This is Lilith.”

The moment her name was mentioned, Lilith became even more nervous than before. She had been waiting for her turn throughout the introductions, and now that it had finally arrived, she suddenly felt far less confident than usual. “She is also a Saint, just like Amelia.”

“I know!” Elena immediately replied.

Although Alen and Elena had never personally met Lilith before, they certainly knew who she was. After all, many years ago, the two of them had personally traveled to the Six Continents to arrange the engagement between Aditya and Sasha. At that time, Sasha had only been around one or two years old, making the entire matter particularly memorable for everyone involved.

For Elena and Alen, arranging engagements at such a young age was not particularly unusual among powerful families. Such engagements were often decided long before the children involved were old enough to understand marriage.

However, the situation had naturally looked completely different from Lilith’s perspective.

Lilith had only recently become a mother at that time, and Sasha’s birth had come after more than a thousand years of sacrifice on her part. Despite being a Succubus, a race naturally associated with sexual desire and pleasure, Lilith had remained completely pure for over a thousand years.

She had never taken a husband or boyfriend, nor had she allowed herself to become intimate with any man. She had deliberately stayed away from such relationships because of what she needed to do in order to eventually have Sasha.

Because of everything Lilith had sacrificed, Sasha naturally became the most precious existence in her life from the moment she was born. Lilith had waited for more than a thousand years for her daughter, so one could imagine her reaction when, merely a year or two after Sasha’s birth, people suddenly arrived to discuss her baby’s future marriage.

And these were not ordinary people either. These two were the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen from the strongest Empire of the Main Continent, meaning the strongest Empire of the whole world.

Alen and Elena had personally traveled from the Main Continent to the Six Continents to propose an engagement between their son, Aditya, and Sasha. At the time, the two were the Emperor and Empress of the Celestial Dragon Empire, making it impossible for the Succubus Clan to treat their visit as a simple marriage proposal that could be casually accepted or rejected.

From Lilith’s perspective, however, none of that mattered at first. Her precious daughter had barely learned how to properly walk and speak, yet someone had already appeared at her doorstep wanting to decide whom Sasha would marry in the distant future.

After waiting for over a thousand years to finally have her daughter, Lilith naturally felt extremely protective of her. To her, it almost felt as though Sasha had only just entered her arms before someone was already talking about eventually taking her away.

Naturally, Lilith had been furious. The elders of the Succubus Clan completely understood why she felt that way, but they also had to consider the political reality of the situation.

The Celestial Dragon Empire was one of the most powerful and politically influential forces in the world, and the proposal had come personally from its Emperor and Empress. Carelessly rejecting them could damage the relationship between the Succubus Clan and the Celestial Dragon Empire, something the elders had no desire to risk.

Their greatest concern, however, had been Lilith herself. The elders knew Lilith’s temper extremely well. With how protective and emotional she was about Sasha at the time, they were genuinely worried that putting her directly in front of Alen and Elena would result in her saying something outrageous.

Even if Alen and Elena did not take offense personally, insulting the Emperor and Empress of the Celestial Dragon Empire over an official marriage proposal could still create unnecessary political problems for the entire clan.

Because of this, the elders deliberately prevented Lilith from personally meeting them and handled the negotiations themselves. They eventually managed to obtain Lilith’s extremely reluctant consent before formally accepting the engagement on her behalf.

Lilith had ultimately agreed because she understood that it was only an engagement for the distant future. Sasha was still a baby, and many years would pass before marriage even became relevant.

By then, Sasha would be old enough to understand her own feelings and make decisions about her future. Even so, accepting the engagement did not mean Lilith had suddenly become happy about people discussing her baby daughter’s marriage when Sasha was barely old enough to understand what marriage even meant.

Because of that incident, Alen and Elena had always known exactly who Lilith was despite never properly meeting her face-to-face. They knew about the Succubus Empress, they knew she was Sasha’s mother, and they were certainly aware that she had not been particularly happy about their marriage proposal all those years ago.

However, Athena did not stop after introducing Lilith as a Saint. There was another important part that Alen and Elena needed to hear. If she left the introduction there, the two of them might misunderstand why Lilith was standing together with Aditya’s future wives.

“And she is Sasha’s mother.” Athena continued before deliberately adding the most important part. “She is also one of Aditya’s future wives and a cherished sister to all of us.”

Athena had intentionally added the last part. She wanted Alen and Elena to understand that Lilith was not merely someone who had developed feelings for Aditya while her daughter happened to be engaged to the same man. Lilith had already become an important member of their unusual family.

To Athena and the others, she was their mischievous and sometimes troublesome sister, and after everything they had experienced together, it was difficult to imagine their family without her. Athena hoped that by making their feelings clear from the beginning, Aditya’s parents would not give Lilith a hard time and would eventually give the two their blessings.
