“I’ll always love you too, my baby.” Lilith hugged Lith and said, kissing the top of his head.
“Me too.” Lucy said, following to kiss Lith’s cheeks.
After such a long conversation together, Lilith didn’t forget to feed her blood to Lith. After he had been fed, the three slept together with Lith in the center.
There was a slight difference in their sleeping positions today, as today Lith wasn’t squished between the heavenly softness but had them sleep on the sides, on his arm.
He kissed them on their heads from above and slept along with them. Rena, who was sleeping on Lith’s study table, continued to sleep.
…
Lith woke up the next morning and saw his mother and sister staring at him intently with a smile. He smiled upon witnessing such a scene. It’s been so many days since he last saw them like this.
“Goodmorning, mom, big sis.” Lith greeted the two after waking up.
“Good morning, baby.” Lilith said and kissed his forehead.
“Good morning, dear.” Lucy said too, and did the same thing as her mother.
Finishing their morning greetings, Lith went to the bathroom to freshen up while his mother and sister went to the kitchen present on his floor to cook for him.
Rena was roaming around and looking at the things present on the floor Lith lived at.
Lith walked towards the dining table in the room adjacent to the living room of his floor and waited for his mother and sister to arrive.
Rena noticed Lith and went over to him. She got onto his lap and purred. Lith patted her and said, “let’s register you today at the academy office so that you can roam around freely.”
Rena didn’t have any idea what Lith was stating but purred in agreement nonetheless. She was still far from being totally intelligent like those from the Werewolf race. Though she was around the same age as Lith, mentally she was just a small child.
After a few minutes, Lilith and Lucy walked out of the kitchen with the former holding a big tray on which lay many covered utensils, while the latter held a tray which had cups and saucers containing tea.
Lilith and Lucy placed their trays on the dining table and sat beside Lith. Looking at the food in front of him, Lith turned to his mother and said, “Wow, you made this, mom?”
“Of course. Have a taste.” Lilith said, smiling.
Lilith smiled and pulled Lith’s cheeks and said, “Do you think I am your mother just for show? How would I not know how to cook?”
Lucy giggled while covering her face, listening to the conversation Lith had with their mother.
The liveliness at the dining table continued since it’s been sometime the three of them ate food together. Finishing his food, Lith said, “I have classes so I need to leave now. I’ll see you next week, mom, and hopefully you too, big sis.”
Lilith and Lucy nodded their heads. Lith then got up and walked over to Lucy to give a peck on her lips. Walking over to Lilith, he did the same. All set, he picked up Rena who was wandering around on the floor and bid them goodbye at the door.
The two waved their hands at him and said their byes. After Lith left, Lilith walked towards Lucy to grab her by her waist and vanished from the spot. The once lively room returned to being desolate and empty.
…
“Your highness, this…” Dennis said, looking at Rena in Lith’s arms.
“This is my beast companion,” Lith said with a neutral face.
“From where did you bring a beast companion, your highness? Last night you didn’t have one,” Dennis asked in confusion.
“Oh well… Hmm…” Lith was about to say the truth but stopped himself after thinking about it for a bit.
He couldn’t just tell Dennis that his mother and sister had come to his dorm room last night and brought Rena. It would create unnecessary drama. No one could break into the academy, with the Supreme ranks being an exception.
A Supreme rank visited the academy on a whim and if word got out, it would certainly be a hot topic that would be discussed. Lith didn’t like dramas like these and thus stopped himself from speaking.
Looking at Dennis, he said, “I went out for a while last night and found her near the park. Anyway, we need to hurry. The classes will start soon.”
Dennis didn’t question Lith further and nodded his head in agreement. He did not have much interest as it was just a simple beast, at least that’s what he thought.
Ralph, on the other hand, found holes in Lith’s words and he knew full well what the beast in his hands was. There was no way a beast could run free on the sky island with the authorities around. The island being under surveillance every minute just lessened the possibility even further.
Nevertheless, he didn’t question Lith or call him out for it as it didn’t really matter. It was just a beast companion. Ralph wasn’t interested in it, so just like Dennis, he chose to ignore Lith’s words and behaviour.
The trio left the dorm building after meeting together in the lounge room on the ground floor and walked towards the main building of the academy.
Reaching the building, Lith parted ways with Dennis and Ralph and walked to the beast companion registration area to register Rena there.
It wasn’t too complicated to register, one only needed to fill in certain information and they were good to go. This simple process got even simpler as Lith was the top student. Everything about him was filled in by the registration officials themselves and he was handed out an ID card for Rena within a few minutes.
After registering Rena, he walked to the beast day care area where one could leave their beast companions while they attended classes. This was a free service provided by the academy where everything from grooming to feeding was taken care of by them for free.
Dropping Rena there, Lith went to his classroom and met with Ralph and Dennis there. The classes started shortly after, when an instructor arrived.
