Hecate was lost in her thoughts for a bit but soon came to her senses and answered Lith in a neutral tone,
"I have been called by Her Majesty, Your Highness."
"I see." Lith nodded his head. He smiled and said, "If you want to meet mom, she's free now."
Hecate nodded her head. She bowed and said, "If there's anything His Highness needs, feel free to contact me. I'll be taking my leave then."
Lith nodded and left after saying farewell to Hecate.
This was probably the shortest interaction between them. Even so, Lith could tell that Hecate hadn't changed even after so many years.
He vividly remembered the day when he first saw her. That day, Lith realized that his mother was the Vampire Queen.
It was fun to remember how shocked he was and how his mother had responded to his silly questions.
Hecate was a bit special to Lith. She was the first person Lith had seen other than this mother or sister since he arrived in this world.
