Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4083

Chapter 4083: Perfect Opportunity (Part 2)

The worst part was that the Lich King was right.

Being reminded of their own traditions by a Lich was a humbling experience for the Emperor Beasts of the Council. They rushed to make up for their blunder, emitting howls that shook the hall and deafened the humans.

After the ceremony ended, guests and hosts moved to the Banquet Hall of the Mansion.

Long, rectangular tables filled with steaming delicacies from all over the Kingdom were lined up along the walls, while smaller tables and chairs were arranged on the balcony of the floor above.

This way, those who wanted to mingle would remain on the center stage, while those who wanted to sit down and eat or have private conversations would have the quiet they needed.

"Congratulations, kid. Congratulations, young man." Vastor shook Friya’s and Nalrond’s hands, not even attempting to hug them due to the height gap with the couple.

"Thanks, Professor." Friya smiled. "I’m glad to see you here."

"I wouldn’t have missed this for the world." Vastor exchanged a glance with Quylla.

He was aware of the threat of the Gernoff and had come to ensure nothing ruined that day.

"Yours were wonderful vows." Zinya wiped her eyes. "You two made me cry."

"Not as good as yours." Nalrond gave her a polite bow.

"I’m glad to see that Quylla is doing fine. I was worried for her. Losing that much power can’t be easy." Vastor sighed in relief. "What about you? Is it true what the rumors say?"

"What rumors?" Friya swallowed hard, aware of the Professor’s love for gossip.

"That the marriage was rushed because there’s a bun in the oven." Friya becoming pale and Nalrond clearing his throat was all the answer Vastor needed.

"More congratulations are in order, then." He laughed, shaking their hands again. "How many?"

"Two boys." Friya whispered.

"Again? It must be the year of the twins for the Ernas." Zinya did her best to smile and sound happy, but a tinge of envy poisoned her voice.

The crib crafted by Bytra kept hosting new babies, but none of them came from her womb. The sight of so many happy and healthy newborns filled her with joy, but also with a deep-seated feeling of emptiness and failure.

"Indeed." Friya nodded and rushed to change the topic. "The political angle of the King surprised me, but I must admit that Lady Fyrwal and I do look related."

"You can say that." Zinya replied. "Ever since you stopped hiding the beautiful shades in your hair, it’s hard to believe you’re not a Hydra in disguise."

"Thanks, but believe me when I say that being a Hydra is far from easy." Friya chuckled and winked.

"Speaking of trouble, what about the Gernoff?" Vastor asked. "What’s Jiza doing here?"

"I have no idea." Friya shrugged. "Mom invited her, so it must be part of some plan. I can only trust her."

’And Lith.’ She inwardly added. ’Even if Mom doesn’t know it, the tower of Menadion watches her back.’

"Now let’s eat a bit, but make sure not to eat too much, or you won’t be able to dance."

After everyone got the time to comment on the ceremony and taste the refreshments, the music started. The newlyweds opened the dance, followed by the Royals, then the true lords of the house, and then by the members of the Ernas and Fastarrow families.

Only then were the rest of the guests allowed to join, filling the ballroom to the brim.
