Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4527

Chapter 4527: Not Toys nor Tools (Part 1)

"I wanted to congratulate you for rescuing Me-"

"Trion’s son, yes." Lith cut Zoreth short and nodded at the babies. "And it was nothing much. Anything for my beloved little ones."

The Arke understood the minefield she stood upon and nodded, while the children cheered with joy at the idea of having a new friend. Raldarak in particular couldn’t wait to be the youngest no longer.

"Trion’s child." Zoreth cleared her throat. "I’d like to know more about him and maybe meet him. Are the Dryad and the baby here?"

"Her name is Althika, and she’s a Titania now, just like Erkin’s plant side." Solus shook her head. "Also, no. They are not here but in the Desert for security reasons. If you want to visit them, we have to ask Grandma’s permission first."

"A Titania?" Bytra asked in confusion. "Also, where’s Ripha? Can I meet her, please?"

"I’m right here." The First Ruler of the Flames jumped out of Lith’s shadow. "I was busy doing a little maintenance on the golems, but I always make time for guests."

"Is there something wrong with Trouble and Raptor?" The Raiju furrowed her brows. "I remember them as minor masterpieces."

"And they are." Menadion nodded. "Just because we’re home, it doesn’t mean we’re goofing around. Golems and Sigil Demons were all busy with teamwork training. If Lith allows it, we can give you a demonstration later."

She looked at Lith, who answered with a noncommittal shrug.

"Let’s start with... Trion’s son, then." Zoreth said. "How did you find Althika, and what happened? I’ve heard a lot of rumors, but some are vague while others are just outrageous."

"I’ll let you judge for yourself." Lith took Bytra’s and Zoreth’s hands, sharing everything with them via a mind link.

The two hybrids were still frozen solid in shock and awe at the power the Life and Dread Flames had demonstrated when Lith Warped them to the living room, where the rest of the family was assembled for tea.

"Auntie Zor!" Aran and Leria rushed to hug the Arke, snapping her out of her daze. "You’re finally back. Did you hear the latest news?"

"Good gods!" It was the first time Orion and Nalrond saw Zoreth in her humanoid form, and she made quite an impression.

They almost spilled their tea and received a stern look from their wives.

"You mean the... Trion’s baby?" Zoreth asked. "Of course, I did. I came to congratulate the father and the rest of the family."

"Yes, but also no." Leria snickered. "Aran was talking about the fact that even Uncle ’Trion’ managed to give Grandma Elina a grandchild before Auntie Tista."

"Please, stop!" Tista whined, hiding her face behind her hands as she became beet red. "I’m sick and tired of this story. Can’t you give it a rest for one day?"

After listening to Lith’s recount of the events, nobody had noticed such a detail in the heat of the moment. The idea of having a new member of the family carrying Orpal’s blood was hard to accept.

Once they had overcome that hurdle, however, Tista had become the target of many unflattering comments.

"Of course we can." Elina replied with a warm smile that didn’t extend to her eyes. "As soon as you give me a grandchild! Do you realize that even your... Demon brother beat you to it?"

"Mom! I- I mean, Trion is older than me. He had a two-year advantage over me." Tista tried to defend herself the best she could.

"And you had how many hundreds of suitors advantage over him?" Elina snarled. "I remember him courting one girl at a time like the gentleman he is, and you repelling swarms of decent young men with sticks, swords, and maces!

’Orikan and Jirya are adorable, but only until they don’t pull one of their Tyrant stunts.’ She inwardly sighed. ’They seem to love to scare people senseless.’

’How is this possible?’ Quylla asked her husband via a mind link.

’Orikan likes beautiful women like me, while Jirya doesn’t want to look bad compared to her brother.’ Morok replied.

’We’re going to talk about this later.’ Her thoughts carried the coldness of an ice age.
