Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1362

Chapter 1362 - The Verhen Mansion (Part 2)

The blinking rune belonged to Marchioness Distar, the ruler of the Distar region and the person in charge of the security of Lith’s family. Lith immediately picked up the call, fearing that something bad might have happened again.

"Nice to see you, Lith. How are you doing?" The hologram of the Marchioness asked.

She was a woman in her early forties, but even with the little makeup she wore, it was hard to imagine her a day older than thirty. Mirim Distar had a beautiful face with great proportions and eyes that brimmed with intelligence and curiosity.

She had waist-long dark brown hair streaked blue all over and only a hairpin to adorn it. It was almost hypnotic to look at her whenever she shook her head. She wore a simple pale blue day dress with no neckline that despite its simplicity emphasized her lovely features.

"Is everything okay?" Lith said.

"Always skipping pleasantries and getting straight to the point, huh? It’s nice to see that some things never change." She sighed. "Of course everything is okay, otherwise instead of wasting my time with chit-chat I would have simply sent you a threat report."

"Then I’m glad to see you again, Your Ladyship. I’m doing fine, thanks for your kindness. How are you?" Lith replied while giving her a deep bow.

"Please, let’s drop the formalities. We know each other for a long time and you’re an Archmage now. You have the right to call me Mirim." She said while giving him a curtsy.

"Okay." Lith felt a bit embarrassed by the sudden mood change of the conversation, but being from Earth, noble titles never struck fear into him. He followed the etiquette solely because it suited his agenda.

"To what do I owe this p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, Mirim?" He asked.

"You are still too formal, but we’ll get there. I’m calling you because I need your approval before starting the construction works of the Verhen Mansion. There are several available locations and since you’re the one who’s going to live there, I’m letting you take your pick." She said.

After witnessing with horror how small Lith’s house was, the Queen had ordered to build him a residence worthy of an Archmage and of a hero to the Kingdom. Lith wouldn’t be paying for any of it, but he still considered it a hassle.

Just the thought of having to pay for the house staff necessary to keep it clean, made his wallet shiver in horror.

"I received no map nor blueprint." He said, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

"That’s because I choose the blueprint and you can’t pick the location based on a map. I know how paranoid you are. I bet one month of my annuities that you want to check the surroundings in person." Mirim said.

"I don’t take bets, especially losing ones. When do you want me to come?" Lith asked.

"Now would be perfect. Just take the Gate from your house to the branch of the Mage Association in front of mine. I’ll meet you there." She replied.

"Let’s meet there in ten. I’m in dire need of a shower."

The Royals didn’t like someone attacking the relatives of a promising mage, not with Balkor as the living proof of the consequence that such an act might cause. They had made an example of the Rath, razing even their home. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
