Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3734

Chapter 3734: Righteous Rage (Part 1)

Shargein’s feat had dispelled the awkward tension of breakfast, and Surin’s closing act had shifted everyone’s attention to her.

Lith pushed the stroller in which Valeron and Elysia sat side by side. They babbled something he could only hope was an expression of their joy of being reunited and not some clever plan they didn’t want him to understand.

Kamila walked to his right while Solus to his left, offering a toy or a flower to the babies from time to time.

Elysia always took them with a smile. Valeron was gloomier when meeting their gaze, but at least he always accepted the small gestures of affection.

Shargein was forbidden from spending one more minute with them until further notice. The Guardians needed time to assess how much of their security he had cracked and explain to the Wyrmling that he wasn’t allowed to share their secrets with anyone.

Not even the other parent.

’This is not as cheerful as our usual strolls, but it’s better than nothing.’ Kamila said via a mind link.

Valeron looked happy only when interacting with Elysia. Whenever he met the grown-ups’ eyes, his face expressed all the conflicting emotions that ravaged his tiny heart.

He wasn’t angry anymore, just confused.

Even his joy was flawed. Sometimes, while looking at Elysia, sadness and envy stole his smile until he banished those emotions to the back of his head again.

’This is more than enough for me.’ Lith replied. ’I’m content with Valeron not resenting Elysia for what I did. I couldn’t stand if they grew apart because of me.’

’You know, I’m happy that Valeron feels better, but also a tiny bit disappointed.’ Solus said, rushing to change the topic. ’With his perpetual frown, he looked a lot like you as a baby. You and Valeron looked like father and son.’

’Thanks, Solus.’ Lith said with a sad smile.

Kamila, instead, felt hurt by those words.

’It’s silly of me, but even though I know everything about Lith, I never realized how much he must have suffered to have such an expression since he was a child until I saw that same expression on Valeron’s face.

’Lith and Valeron have more things in common than Leegaain’s blood running through their veins. They both have two sets of parents, trust issues, and childhood trauma. I can only hope it helps them to understand each other instead of pulling them apart.’ She thought.

"Man, that thing with Surin saying ’no’ was wild." Nalrond still laughed at the thought. "But still nothing compared to your sister’s ’damn’, babe."

"Shush, silly!" Friya giggled as they took a stroll in the Mansion’s park. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Friya and Nalrond kept themselves close enough to keep an eye on the Verhens but far away enough to give them all the privacy they needed.

"Remember that ’damn’ is a taboo word now. If anyone, and I mean anyone, says it in front of Dripha, my parents take it personally. Now they are not competing for first place anymore, but for second place, and the loser gets third."

"Has she learned any new words?" Nalrond asked.

"No, just the one." Friya sighed. "Which is a mystery since Dripha is a normal baby. She’s far too young to-"

"Did Surin really say ’no’? That’s wild." A silvery laughter cut Friya short and made the Agni stiffen like a deer in headlights.

"She did, pretty lady." Aran lowered his gaze in sadness. "Mom and Dad are sad that’s her first word instead of mama or dada. They are as sad as Auntie Jirni and Uncle Orion."

"What was your first word, young man?" Dawn asked.
