Chapter 721: Studio Purple Comes to Public
The next day.
Lith was sipping on some hot coffee when he got a call from Ruben.
Ruben stated everything went without a hitch and the academy was now made independent.
The official letter and the proceedings will take some time but the academy could now do whatever it wanted.
Add to that, the city beside Lenz City was given fully to the academy and it was their own special administrative region.
The city was currently called Ming city but the academy could change it if they wanted to.
Being a special administrative region now, the academy could make independent decisions and there was nobody they had to answer.
However, they still belonged to the Neutral Continent and would get the needed security since the talented youths of the world would be living here.
All in all, it was a good thing and Emilia would not have any headache from here on.
Out of curiosity, Lith asked why things happened so quickly and if there was any resistance from the CNC or not.
Ruben mentioned that these guys were already planning on making the academy independent. It was due to the fact that they were heavily thrashed in the past by none other than the Dragon Empress as well as Ruben and Noman themselves.
Lith could only smile and shake his head. He wanted to see some bloodshed and the council being replaced by new members, but well, it seems that sometimes things were indeed resolved peacefully.
A while of lazing around later, Lith was notified that Ralph and Dennis were here.
They were escorted to the courtyard in the outer area and were waiting for him.
Lith finished his coffee and went to see them.
"Your Highness..." Dennis waved his hand and called out as he saw Lith walking towards them.
Ralph waved his hand too.
Lith waved back at them and once he reached, took a seat around the round table.
"Sup, boys." Lith said with a smile.
"Do you—"
"DoyouknowYourHighnessthattheanimeisready?"
Dennis didn't give Ralph a chance to speak and said hurriedly.
"Slow down." Lith chuckled. "What of the anime you were saying?"
"The anime we've been working on for so long is ready. It hasn't launched yet because we both were waiting for you." Dennis replied slowly this time.
Ralph nodded. "It finished being made four decades ago and in the meantime, they've made two more shows, all three shows having three complete seasons with twenty-four episodes in each season."
"Damn." Lith was surprised. "Did you guys overwork those people?"
Ralph and Dennis shook their heads.
"They had no deadline, were given a good pay as well as vacations, they had nothing to worry about and were really relaxed and fine. This caused them to fire up and work harder."
Dennis added to that by continuing, "previously, they were overworked and given low pay, it was for this reason that they really put their heart and soul into working for Studio Purple. They didn't want to leave this studio at any cost."
"I see." Lith said and chuckled. "And the result is that we have three shows now?"
"Yes. It can be released anytime we want it to."
"Good. Let's go make the studio public today itself and announce the three shows we have." Lith said.
"So quick?" Dennis was surprised.
"Yes. I don't have a lot of time on my hands and I am sure you two don't either. Judging from how you both are now peak level Half-Saints, I am sure you want to ascend quickly as well." Lith said with a smile.
"How did you know?" Both were surprised.
"From your spiritual power and core's fluctuations." Lith chuckled and answered them honestly. "You are in a state where you aren't a mortal but also aren't immortal, it's not difficult to make out your rank with this."
The two were honestly really surprised knowing this.
They wanted to surprise Lith by telling him that they've become Half-Saints but it seems that wouldn't be possible.
And judging from the fact that Lith could decipher their strength, the two wondered if Lith was a Saint Rank now or someone above Saint.
Whatever the case, since Lith was already far ahead of them even while sleeping for so long, the two internally had a fire burning lit up. A fire to catch up to their friend and Prince!
The two nodded their heads once again and said, "then, should we go to the Beast Kingdom?"
"Yes. I'll have someone arrange the press meetings and everything while we're on the way."
Saying so, Lith called the butler standing behind him and instructed him a few things.
The trio then went to the teleportation circle and left for the Beast Kingdom.
A few hours later.
The Demon Queen's Castle, Abyssal-Hell.
Lucifer was sitting on a couch in the lounge room in her castle and watching tv while munching on some popcorn.
She wasn't in her usual no clothes state or masturbating. She wore sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt while at the sides were Rosy and Roxy leaning their backs on her and doing their things.
Ruth was in Lucifer's embrace and being hugged by her. She held the popcorn bucket in which Rosy, Roxy, and Lucifer were putting their hands to take popcorn.
This was a usual day for Lucifer now.
She had apparently become a mother.
Rosy was reading manga, Roxy was watching some action movie whereas Ruth was staring into empty space and mumbling mindlessly while holding the popcorn.
Lucifer's brain automatically ignored her mumbling and the same was the case for the other two young girls.
Lucifer found out that Ruth could talk to spirits around her. The spirits were really tiny and only a few special beings had the ability to communicate with them.
Ruth was a special child and Lucifer just let her be.
While watching tv, Lucifer suddenly saw news that Studio Purple was finally coming live to the public.
Lucifer's attention was instantly grabbed and she checked her phone to see what was up.
On the phone, the news read:
BREAKING NEWS!
Studio Purple, an anime studio we've all been hearing rumors about for eight decades, is finally coming out to the public!
Sources say that the studio is done making the show they've been working so hard for. It was a big project with many talented animators in the work.
The studio had requested a press audience and in just an hour, the live telecast will happen!
Stay tuned!
'Interesting.' Lucifer thought to herself. 'It was due to this studio that all the talented animators were taken away. The animations became so basic with everyone gone.'
Lucifer then tuned into the news channel and saw the press sitting in a big conference room.
While watching the curtains, she thought again, 'if the show is not good, I am seriously gonna beat those guys up for hogging up all the good animators.'
Lucifer's thoughts were anything but good. She wasn't optimistic even in the slightest for the new anime release.
An hour later.
The curtains were drawn and the officials of the studio appeared after the press.
There were three men and all were in a suit, wearing black face masks.
Lucifer, who was drinking some soda, almost spit her drink as she watched the men in front.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" She said out loud as her gaze fell on a certain man with black hair and red eyes.
The three girls around were surprised when Lucifer yelled so loudly.
"Are you okay, mom?" Ruth looked up and asked Lucifer while the other two looked at her in concern.
For the first time Ruth was snapped out of her daze and seemed so concerned.
The three girls were raised by Lucifer ever since they were toddlers, it felt natural for them to accept Lucifer as their mother and call her as mom.
Though, whenever Lucifer heard herself be called as mom, her heart would ache knowing she put the three girls outside the castle, right at the gates to guard the castle.
But she would sigh every time and think at least they were in a better place now and it wasn't for too long that they had to guard the castle.
Being called out by Ruth, Lucifer looked at her and then around her, realizing she may have startled these three.
"Ahem, my bad." Lucifer coughed and said.
The three nodded and went back to their business after ensuring their mother was alright.
Lucifer then turned to look at the tv again and thought to herself while looking at the tall black-haired, red-eyed main suit:
'THIS IS THE GUY WHO FUCKED MY ASS!'
