Chapter 145 Visit to Scelestus

Next day.

Lith woke up and went to freshen up. He sat on the sofa after freshening up and was deep in thought. Lith took his phone from his ring and dialed his teacher after a few minutes of being lost in his thoughts.

It didn’t take a long time, as within a few seconds, he heard Arya’s voice saying,

“Is my boyfriend missing me now? Why call so early in the morning?” Arya teased Lith from the other side.

“Yes, your boyfriend misses you, teacher. Come over.” Lith joined in on the fun and said.

The two were just teasing. Their relationship hadn’t gone too far. Though they were much closer than before. Lith was Arya’s first student and was thus closer to her than the rest, but after spending time with her on their date and having a good time, their relationship progressed and now he was more than just her student.

Though it had progressed, it still wasn’t at the level where they could be considered to be actually dating and could call each other their partners, that is, girlfriend or boyfriend. Right now, they were just teasing each other and it was nothing serious.

“Hoh. Never leaving a chance to see me, are you?” Arya said cheerfully from the other side.

“Of course. So, are you coming over?” Lith asked again.

“Depends. Do you need something?” Arya stopped with her jokes and asked.

“I want a leave of absence today too, teacher. Can you please do it for me?” Lith got to the point and asked seriously after stopping with his jokes.

“Why do you want to not attend classes today? Is something the matter?” Arya asked with concern.

“Yes, something came up. Can you please help me out, teacher?” Lith replied.

“Alright, but try not to miss your classes.” Arya agreed without asking him any more questions. She knew that if he wanted to, he would’ve told her the reason, but since he didn’t, she thought he must’ve had his reasons in doing so and didn’t ask further.

“Thank you, teacher. You’re the best. No wonder I fell in love with you.” Lith said and flirted.

“So cheesy in the morning, wow.” Arya chuckled and answered.

“It’s reserved for you only.” Lith flirted again.

“Oh my, thank you. Anything else you want to talk to me about, my boyfriend, or can I hang up now?” Arya said sarcastically.

“You can hang up now, my girlfriend. See you.” Lith replied with the same sarcasm.

“See ya~” Arya’s melodious voice rang in Lith’s ears for one last time and she hung up the phone.

“Alright. Time to visit Scelestus now. I wonder where it is.” Lith muttered to himself after the call ended.

“Seems like I’ll have to bother Miss Hecate again.” Saying so, Lith dialed her number and called her again.

Hecate picked up the call and her calm voice rang out in Lith’s ears, stating, “Is there something that His Highness wants?”

“Yes. Miss Hecate, can you please take me out of the academy and to the nearest branch of Scelestus today?” Lith asked politely.

Hecate understood this and calmly said, “Can be done. But Your Highness, you don’t need to visit a branch. You can use your phone and access the missions of yours. Not only that, being an Amethyst Card Holder, you don’t have to visit them at all.

“Miss Hecate, I want to see how other assassins are too and be on the lookout for Relz Khiv.” Lith reasoned.

“I understand. I’ll be there in a minute. Please wait.” Hecate understood and replied.

They hung up and just as she had said, a minute later, Hecate arrived. Looking at Lith, she said with a neutral face and tone,

“We can leave whenever His Highness wants to.”

“Let’s leave now.” Lith said and got up from his couch.

Hecate walked towards Lith, nodding her head. She moved her hands around to cast a teleportation spell as she stood beside him. She had a Space affinity, but to get into the academy, which had multiple layers of security, she had used a different spell to teleport in and out of it.

A few seconds later, the spell was cast, and the two vanished from their spot.

…

Kerzo city, Espat.

In front of a hundred storey tall building, space fluctuated and two figures arrived out of thin air from it. They were naturally Hecate and Lith.

“Right, now that we are here, can you please cast a disguise on me? Please make it the highest grade.” Lith said, looking at Hecate.

Hecate nodded her head and clapped her hands twice, and Lith’s appearance changed. “All done.”

“Thank you for your service, Miss Hecate. I’ll be on my own from here. I’ll call you again to go back to the academy later.” Lith turned to Hecate and said.

“His Highness is too polite. This is my job. His Highness need not be so polite.” She said in a calm tone.

Lith didn’t listen to her and walked away from her and said waving his hands,

“I’ll see you later, Miss Hecate.”

“Good bye, His Highness.” Hecate smiled and said normally while waving Lith goodbye.

…

–––Lith’s POV–––

Hmm, this building sure looks amazing. So this is the same building as the one present on my card huh. I thought that Nine Roses hotels were a big hotel chain, but turns out it was actually the branches of Scelestus, wow.

Anyway, damn, this building is tall and cool looking. Every building in every location has 100 floors, not to mention their architecture is identical. Hmm, the nine roses insignia is also pretty cool. Well anyway, I should hurry and see other assassins. Time is of essence and I must do everything I can to find Relz Khiv.

Walking into the reception, it seemed just like that of a five star hotel that I once visited when I was on Earth. Actually, this seems even better. Just walking around, I can feel that the temperature of the room is set to such a degree that it’s just slightly cold. Not too warm nor too cold, just slightly cold. A perfect temperature in my opinion.

Back on Earth, it wasn’t possible to have every part be ventilated and temperature controlled like this. Magic is indeed very wonderful.

Lith walked towards the reception desk while his thoughts ran free. After reaching there, his thoughts were interrupted when the reception lady asked,

“How may I help you, sir?”
