Chapter 360 ldentify your bride
Bang!
As soon as the gunshot was heard, everyone put their hand in the liquid and swirled it around. They didn't do it intensely but were slow as it was just on the basis of luck that they'll be able to find a ring.
They looked each other in the eyes with a smile as their hands moved in the liquid. Lith, who had his gaze fixed on Arya currently, thought of pranking her and moved his hand inside the liquid to grab hers.
He soon found her hand and grabbing it, he smirked at her and rubbed his middle finger in the middle of her palm to remind her of something.
But to his surprise, Arya had no reaction. 'It didn't work?'
Lith then rubbed his finger faster onto her palm but still there was no reaction from Arya. Also, not only that, Arya was still moving her hand but the one Lith was holding was stationary.
'Ah… I grabbed someone else's hand…' Lith understood the problem.
The liquid had space spells attached to it as well and the position of one's hand wasn't fixed in the certain space and it was chaotic. Thus, it could be anyone's hand that Lith might touch at any given point and it wasn't fixed.
Lith looked around to see whose hand was stationary and whose palm was it that he was rubbing. It didn't take a long time to find out the person as he saw Emilia have a slight blush on her face and her hand to be stationary.
Lith chuckled noticing this and looked Emilia in the eyes.
Emilia looked back and soon found the culprit who was doing naughty things to her in the liquid. 'He… can he not just finish the ceremony normally?'
Lith continued to rub Emilia's palm with his middle finger and Emilia couldn't take it anymore and brushed Lith's hand aside and got out of his grasp.
Lith felt fun doing this and went in search of his next prey. He moved his hand and soon ended up finding another one. He grabbed it and soon fingered the palm again.
This time as he looked around, he saw Alexandra staring at her hand and in the water with a serious expression.
Lith controlled his laughter as he looked at her and continued to finger her palm.
'What is happening…' Alexandra thought to herself as she looked at her hand.
She then looked up to see who had just grabbed her hand and saw Lith trying to control his laugh while looking at her.
Alexandra immediately understood that it was her darling's doing. 'Ah, so it's darling. Hehe, it's fine then. He can play as long as he wants.'
Lith soon let go of Alexandra's hand and decided to seriously fish some rings. But before he could do it…
"Ah, found it." Lucy yelled from his side as she took out a ring.
Everyone's attention was turned to her as they saw her happily jump around with a ring.
But before she could say anything, Arya's sharp gaze fell on the ring and she said to Lucy, "Heh, little sister, you should check the ring before being happy."
Lucy stopped jumping around as she heard that. Arya was right, she should first check it. She didn't do it because she was the first person to find a ring and was very happy due to it.
Lucy opened her palms and looking at the ring, she realized that it indeed wasn't hers. "Ah, it's not mine."
"Whose is it then?" Lith asked.
Lucy looked at Lith and smiling, she said, "why would I tell you?"
She dropped the ring back into the liquid while showing her tongue playfully to Lith.
But just as the ring touched the liquid, a hand grabbed it from submerging fully inside and picked it up.
Everyone noticed it and Lucy, who had just thrown it, said, "hey, hey, mom, that's cheating!"
Lilith, who was the one to grab it, simply chuckled and said, "Is it? I didn't pick it up when it was in the air though. I picked it when it touched the liquid."
Lucy felt silent hearing that and so did everyone.
Lilith laughed noticing their gloomy faces and said, "Don't make such faces, I never said the ring was mine."
"Oh, I see. Phew…" Lucy sighed in relief.
"It's a relief then." Arya nodded and said.
Emilia and Alexandra rejoiced as well as they realized that they still had the chance to be first.
But Lilith didn't let them feel this way for long as she poured a bucket of cold water onto their expectations by saying, "Don't just rejoice, I never said the ring wasn't mine either."
"What!?" Lucy exclaimed. Everyone was shocked, not just her.
Lith chuckled from the side as he saw his mother play with the emotions of his other ladies and said, "Mom, no need to make them so stressed."
"Fufu, you're right. Alright, I'll tell you who this ring belongs to. It belongs too…" Lilith created a bit of suspense and watched their faces for some drama.
Everyone looked at Lilith with curiosity and it wasn't just the ladies, but the servants who were watching were also very curious to know who the ring belonged to.
"...It belongs to me, hehe." Lilith broke the ice and said.
"Tsk." Arya clicked her tongue.
"Sigh." Lucy, Alexandra, and Emilia sighed.
Winning against the Vampire Queen sure was difficult.
"No need to feel so down, I didn't cheat or anything, did I?" Lilith smiled and said.
"That's true…" Emilia said from the side.
Lith, standing beside Lilith, chuckled and clapped and congratulated his mother.
Lilith successfully made Lith wear his ring and as for the prize, Lilith ended up telling Lith in his ears that she'll take her prize from him later when they're alone.
Lith felt excited knowing it was definitely something naughty and he hoped all his ladies just answered with something like this as well.
