Dragon Monarch System Chapter 965:- Lilith Exposed

How could a day pass without Lilith stirring up trouble? The Saintess had vanished into thin air. Sasha either missed her departure entirely or simply didn't care enough to mention it.

"Aditya, I’ve missed you so much." Suddenly, Lilith materialized behind him, locking her arms tightly around his waist. She clung to his back with the tenacity of a Koala.

Aditya didn't flinch. He had sensed her movement the instant she shifted, but since she was his woman, he allowed her to do as she pleased. He had to admit that while she was a magnet for chaos, it was rarely dangerous; she simply had a knack for making life much more vibrant.

"Aunt Lilith, you really ought to show some restraint," Riya remarked, her smile clearly forced. She was fighting a losing battle against her own jealousy. While all the women felt it, Riya felt it most acutely. Since the entire family was gathered in the living room, she felt obligated to maintain her decorum and refrain from being overly affectionate with her man.

However, this shameless woman was exploiting that hesitation. 'I should have bound her to the sofa when I had the chance,' Riya lamented, wishing she had used her flexible roots to pin Lilith to the cushions.

"My dear, let’s start with the fact that I am your sister. You should address me as Big Sis," Lilith countered with a relaxed, stunning smile.

"Furthermore, you’re clearly just envious because you lack the courage to embrace Aditya in front of an audience," Lilith added, her grin widening.

That mocking expression and the Sharpness of her words sent a surge of irritation through the Goddess of Nature.

Lilith, however, was in her element. Aditya’s homecoming meant she had a fresh audience to tease. While she had poked at the others during his absence, she rarely found a true opening to strike. Now that he was back, she knew exactly where every sister’s weakness lay, and she intended to use it to her advantage.

"Did I say something incorrect?" Lilith asked, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

'Agh...!!!' Riya fumed internally. Dealing with Sasha was difficult enough, but emerging victorious against Lilith was nearly a lost cause.

Lilith basked in the heated glare Riya directed at her.

Feeling mocked, Riya looked toward her mother, who was seated beside her, for support.

The mother and daughter pair, nearly identical in appearance, locked eyes. The only real distinctions were Amelia’s more mature features and the style of her attire compared to Riya’s.

Riya’s expression was a silent plea for Amelia to intervene and provide some backup.

Amelia, however, could only offer a defeated, helpless smile in return. Stunned by her mother's lack of resolve, Riya let out a heavy, exhausted sigh, seemingly resigning herself to her fate.

Reflecting on the past, she remembered that even her mother had a terrible track record when facing Lilith.

Sigh...!!!

'Forgive me, my dear daughter. There is truly nothing I can do to assist you in this matter.'

'I have suffered so many defeats at this woman's hands that I can’t recall the last time I won an argument against her.' Before Lilith entered Aditya’s life, their rivalry had been a balanced fifty-fifty split. Whether it was a contest of speed or a display of destructive power, they were always neck and neck.

In a sense, Lilith and Amelia had served as each other's catalysts for growth. Within their respective clans, both had been hailed as the most gifted cultivators since childhood.

Prior to their first encounter, both believed they were the pinnacle of talent across the six continents. Their meeting sparked a fierce rivalry fueled by a desperate need to prove who was superior.

Centuries had passed, and though their responsibilities kept them apart more often, that competitive fire never dimmed. Every few years or decades, they would seek each other out to test their progress.

Though neither would ever voice it, they were essentially best friends. Their bond was simply forged in competition, making them too stubborn to admit their mutual affection.

But since Lilith met Aditya, she used that relationship to shut down every point Amelia tried to make. Lilith felt no shame in using the same tactic repeatedly, and Amelia was provoked by it every single time.

Since the Succubus Empress joined Aditya, Amelia had known only constant loss. Worse yet, Lilith’s Cultivation had continued to advance while Amelia found herself at a standstill.

Amelia knew traditional Cultivation would no longer increase her power, so she had essentially given up. However, she now held a glimmer of hope that Aditya might possess a unique method to help her break through her limits.

The only advantage she still held was that her frequent travels to the main continent had allowed her to surpass the Peak 5th Order, a realm Lilith had yet to reach.

Yet, she knew that lead was temporary. Lilith previously had no interest in the main continent, but now that she followed Aditya, the Elven Empress was certain Lilith would follow him there and achieve a breakthrough shortly.

Amidst this internal drama, Aditya realized he had neglected to introduce his family to Alfred and his companions.

"Oh, I nearly forgot the introductions."

Aditya turned toward Alfred.

"This is Julia. She is my fiancé and holds the title of the Goddess of Alchemy." The three guests turned their attention to Julia, who sat beside Aditya.

"Your Imperial Highness, you have my deepest gratitude." Julia blinked in confusion, unsure why Mateo was suddenly thanking her.

"Your Pill rescued me from the brink of death and mended my wounds completely. I am forever in your debt."

Julia dismissed the praise with a graceful smile.

"It was nothing." The First Lady sat with an aura of supreme elegance and dignity. Her poise was so refined that the newcomers would never have guessed she was not yet twenty years old.

"And this is Alicia...!"

One by one, Aditya introduced the group to Alfred, Bree, and Mateo.

The realization that six of the seven world-renowned Goddesses were casually lounging in the living room and joking together left the trio stunned. The harmony between his women was staggering.

Despite the playful teasing and light roasting, none of them took offense. It was a testament to the incredible strength of their bond.

Observing that His Royal Highness had united six of the seven Goddesses, Alfred wondered if this was a calculated move or the hand of destiny.

Based on his understanding of the Young Prince, Alfred suspected it was fate rather than a deliberate scheme. The sincerity Aditya felt for each woman was unmistakably genuine.

Rin, who had been quiet until now, suddenly recalled an amusing piece of gossip from her recent visit to the Academy where Lilith taught history part-time.

A small smirk played on her lips.

"By the way, I paid a visit to the Royal Academy a few days ago." Everyone turned to the Goddess of Music, her melodic voice capturing their full attention.

Bree and Mateo felt as though they could listen to her speak for eternity.

Lilith, still clinging to Aditya, suddenly stiffened as she looked at Rin. Her complexion turned ashen.

She tried to cut Rin off, but she was a second too late.

"Over sixty percent of the students in her history class failed their exams." Upon hearing this, every eye in the room turned toward Lilith. The Succubus Empress was overcome with a wave of humiliation.

She couldn't bring herself to meet their gazes.

It was true that her lack of focus had led to this academic disaster, but she never imagined Rin would uncover it.

'Curse it! I even threatened the principal to keep this away from the Royal Family.' Lilith decided she would need to have a very stern "chat" with the principal later.

With time on her hands, Rin often spent her days observing the activities of her sisters. She had originally planned to visit the Academy with Lilith, but the Succubus had become even lazier since Aditya's departure.

Left with no choice, Rin had gone alone.

Amelia, sensing a golden opportunity for payback, beamed with a bright, predatory smile. Her eyes sparkled with delight.

Seeing that look, Lilith actually shivered in genuine fear.
