"This… this thing asked you for that!?" She couldn't help but facepalm as she heard that and looked at the cavity in the pillar.
What in the heavens wanted such a thing? She had never heard of any trial that would ever ask of such things and this was her first time coming across one.
"Well, that's the gist of it and I think it'll be really perverted the more we go deeper into the trial. So…" Lith took a pause.
He held Emilia's hands and looking at her, asked in a gentle expression, "...If you don't want to get into any of such situations, we'll not do it."
Lith cared about the well being of his wife more than anything. He knew she disliked derogatory things and was a pure being. He cared about her choices and if need arose, he wouldn't take her in and would let go of this inheritance.
Health of his wife, be it mental or physical, mattered more than any resources or inheritance. Lith could therefore let go of things if he so wanted if it meant it'll cause problems to his wife.
Emilia, as she heard Lith's gentle remarks, felt warm in her heart. If she was a teenage angel girl now, she definitely would've cried out in happiness knowing how much her husband cared about her. But thankfully, she was a mature woman and also a top tier angel and saved herself from this situation.
'He really cares a lot about me…' Emilia had a thought as she looked at Lith's gentle expression on his handsome face.
But she cleared her throat and instead of answering Lith, asked him back, "why do you think I am not ready to do such things?"
"Hmm?" Lith didn't understand what Emilia meant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmilia flashed a small smile and holding Lith's face in her palms, said,
"My dear husband, why do you think I won't do things such as those with you?"
So what if she disliked perverted things? Emilia could even give her life if needed for the sake of her husband. She had accepted him with all her heart and could even traverse through the nine floors of hell and the 666 floors of the abyss if the need arose.
These things were nothing in comparison to that.
If Emilia could support Lith, she would do so without hesitation even if it meant she would need to go through some problematic situation.
"Well… I know you won't back away if I ask you, but I don't want to sully your mind with anything derogatory. I saw in the marriage ceremonies that you were slightly uncomfortable with things. So I don't want to force you into any situation you don't want to be in or dislike."
Emilia chuckled and pinching Lith's nose, said, "you really think too much."
She then continued, "If I as your wife don't support you, who else will? That's literally my role and job to do."
"Now enough chit-chat, come let's go inside the trial. If I let you be, you'll probably overthink things about me and get sentimental for no reason."
Emilia held Lith's hand and happily dragged him inside the inheritance.
Lith was still surprised with what his wife had just said and before he could process it, he got dragged inside.
The pillar shifted to the side and an entrance was revealed. The two had moved in and after crossing a long corridor, they were inside a stone made hall.
Even though the hall was made of stones, it had lots and lots of fine engravings on it. There were also many sculptures and paintings present.
There was a small raised platform in the middle of the hall. Although everything was made from stone and was slightly dusty all around, this platform was apparently really clean.
As Lith looked around and thought of what he must do, he heard a voice saying,
"To pass this trial, you must do things present in the engravings. The raised platform is where you'll do the things and if there's even a slight mistake, you'll be kicked out. There's no room for error so choose your moves wisely."
Lith knitted his brows as he heard that. 'What is this stupid trial…'
He went to see the engravings and as he had expected from this perverted trial, there were the things he didn't want to see. What the engravings had were…
Sex positions!
That's right, there were a lot of different positions and poses for a couple. It was very vividly present and there were also steps given that one must follow to do those things.
Lith sighed as he saw that and he knew things were going to be tough.
He turned to look at his wife, only to see her cheeks being flushed red. He could very well tell that she was embarrassed but was trying her best to not show it on her face and was holding it in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'So cute!' Lith's worries vanished as he saw her. If he could, he wanted to just go near her and poke her cheeks and watch get flustered further.
'Oh wait, what am I afraid of? I could very well act on my thoughts!' Lith suddenly had enlightenment.
He laughed evilly inside and silently closed his way towards his wife.
Emilia was absorbed in looking at the engravings and was too shocked to see that there were so many positions!
She didn't notice Lith, who finally closed in and poked her red cheeks with his index finger and said,
"Someone is embarrassed?"
Emilia jumped slightly in surprise and let out a shout.
Lith chuckled hearing it and was really proud of what he did.
Emilia, looking at Lith do such weird things, said with visible embarrassment, "what are you doing…"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. My wife seemed too cute." Lith chuckled proudly after saying so.
Emilia's face flushed further. She then said, trying to appear serious,
"Stop teasing me. Let's get this done first."
