Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1829

Chapter 1829: Truths and Secrets (Part 1)

Duchy of Essagor, Vastor Household.

After Zinya's marriage, Kamila had made the habit to have lunch with her sister and dine with the Ernas. She wanted to keep an eye on how Zinya‘s relationship with Vastor progressed, but also to be kept posted about the condition of Lith‘s life force and his life as an Awakened.

Kamila was deeply worried for both of them, even though for completely different reasons. Zinya had no idea that her husband was actually an Awakened, a war criminal, and one of the most wanted men in the Griffon Kingdom under his alias of the Master.

Kamila was afraid that his past might suddenly catch up with him,

trampling her sister in the process. Even worse, Zinya might discover it on her own and run away to Lutia, where Orpal would sooner or later attack her again.

As for Lith, even though she was aware of how powerful he was, she worried for him even more than for Zinya. Her sister was surrounded by powerful Eldritchs and Abomination Hybrids, her house was a fortress, and Thn1d's army was far away from the Duchy of Essagor.

The only thing at risk was her happiness and marriage, but even if the worst happened, she and the children would be safe. Vastor would protect her with his life and the Kingdom would never exact revenge on an innocent woman.

Lith, instead, had the dangerous habit to ?irt with danger ever since they had met, back when he was still a newly appointed Ranger of the Nestrar region. The idea that his role as an Archmage now demanded him to in?ltrate alone Thrud's, ?ghting armies by himself, kept Kamila awake at night.

The voices about Lith and the Princess didn't bother her. The fact that Peonia exploited their ruse to put her hands all over him, instead,

pissed Kamila off big time. Yet she shrugged it off, knowing that it was a necessity and none of her business.

Now, however, she had just learned from Elina that Lith Verhen had gone ?ghting the Dead King to the death for the Council. Kamila had feared that moment, knowing that it was only a matter of time before both Lith Verhen the Archmage and the Lith Verhen the Awakened went to war.

‘I know that Baba Yaga's restriction will stop Night from interfering and that at least this time he isn't alone. Tista and the others are powerful Awakened and they work as a team since the academy.

‘Yet Orpal managed to kill Manohar. Unlike Solus' tower, Moonlight can move around and boost Orpal's power everywhere he goes. I can't get out of my head the idea that killing the god of healing was Orpal's ?nal test run to see how powerful he has become.

‘That's why he fought Manohar alone, without letting Night intervene.

Sure, Manohar was just a fake mage, but he was also the most powerful mage in the Kingdom and a genius without equal. lf he couldn't survive, how can Lith have better chances?’

Kamila felt her heart gripped in a vise and walked with her communication amulet in hand. The moment that Elina knew about the outcome of the mission had, Kamila would know as well.

She couldn't wait to leam if the blight that the Dead King was had been cleansed or if she would have to mourn another loss.

"Lady Yehval, please, follow me." A lean middle-aged butler said as soon as she walked out of the Warp Gate, leading her to the study.
