Chapter 1996 Dangerous Knowledge (Part 2)

"All I can do is to keep your father with me and allow him to spend time with his family whenever I'm home. I'm sorry." Lith said.

"Please, don't apologize." Gilly stopped in the middle of the dancefloor. "I knew that my request was unreasonable, but I still had to try. I couldn't just accept that my father is dead and do nothing."

"Locrias may be dead, but he's not gone. There's no need for you to mourn him yet." Lith took and handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped her tears. "Enjoy the time you still have together. It's what my parents and Valia's are doing."

He nodded his head at Trion dancing with Elina and at the other Demon in her human form as well dancing with her father.

"One last word of advice." A warm smile appeared on Lith's face. "You'd better learn to dance or your father's feet won't survive the experience."

Gilly lowered her gaze, noticing how Lith's black shoes had turned white after being stomped countless times.

"I will." She gave him a curtsy and ran to the restroom, to not let her parents see her makeup ruined by snot and tears.

"Wow. Not even one full dance and Gilly ran away crying." Kamila replaced his missing dance partner, looking at Lith with confusion. "What was that all about?"

"She wanted me to resurrect her father." Lith replied with a sigh. _{freewebnøvel.com}

"Poor kid." Kamila said. "I can't even imagine what she's going through."

"Me neither." Lith replied.

They kept dancing in silence until the minuet ended and the next song started, each worrying about how they would react if something happened to the other.

"Why so glum?" Surtr and Rethia were the first to join them, matching their rhythm to converse with ease. "This is a party, not a funeral."

"He's right. Smile a little." Kamila gave Lith one of her dazzling smiles that rose the temperature in his heart by several degrees.

"By the way, little brother, I'm disappointed in you." The Dragon of Light said.

"How so?" Lith asked.

"I heard that you decided to postpone your firstborn. I mean, you are the Father of all Demons. Mogar themselves gave the title to you and yet your Demon count is still a flat zero."

"That's not true. I have three of them and Tista." Lith replied.

"They don't count." Surtr shook his head. "Aren't you curious to discover if your children will be born as Tiamats or become their own Demon species? It's something that you should check for science's sake.

"I tried to pass down my abilities as Dragon of Light, but all my attempts failed. Rethia is my witness. I did all that I could."

"I can vouch for that." The Wind Griffon nodded. "He's the worthy heir of a perverted lizard. If there was any scientific approach in what he did to me over the centuries, it must have been very subtle because I've always failed to notice it."

"Darling!" Surtr blushed in embarrassment.

"I know." Kamila chuckled. "Leegaain's blood runs thick in Lith's veins as well. If it was for him, I would never sleep at night."

"Kami!"

"I'm not a perverted lizard." Leegaain grumbled on the dance floor as he glided among the guests with Salaark.

"You are right, you are a perverted old lizard. They are two very different things." The Overlord giggled.

"Very funny." He clicked his tongue. "Now, if you are done with the jokes, I'd like to know the reason you brought me here."
