Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1988

Chapter 1988: Build Up (Part 2)

"What? Is it going so badly between you and Kamila that she has already filed for divorce?" Friya nudged at him. "Who's the new unlucky woman? Does she know the hot mess she's walking into?"

"Very funny, smartass." Lith said with mock outrage. "There's nothing wrong with my marriage, I just wanted to hold the ceremony a second time since the first none of my friends could attend."

"Renewing your vows after just one month. Sounds bad." Quylla said with a straight face. "It's better to make sure that the gift is refundable."

"Solus, since the two of you are a package deal, will you stand on the side of the groom as well?" Faluel tried and failed to hide her smile. "How does a three-way marriage work? Isn't it tiring for you to have both a husband and a wife?"

"It doesn't work like that." Solus blushed up to her ears. "Sure, sometimes the three of us sleep together, but that's it."

At those words, everyone turned toward Lith, throwing disdainful looks at him while Tista and Salaark laughed their asses off at his expenses.

"Fucking pervert. You dodged a poisoned arrow there, sis." Friya's upper lip curled up in disgust.

"Ugh, don't remind me of that." Phloria shuddered at the thought.

"Solus suffers from sleepwalking!" Lith said in embarrassment. "She sneaks in our room and literally sleeps with us, no funny business. Ask Kami if you don't believe me!"

Their gazes became only colder at his ridiculous explanation and an awkward silence filled the air. Then, everyone couldn't take looking at his outraged expression anymore and bust into laughter.

"Oh, gods, he really fell for it." Quylla held her belly, gasping for air.

"That face! I'd pay gold to have a Rememberer projecting the moment when the stoic Lith Verhen almost died of embarrassment." Phloria cried with laughter.

"It took us a lot of practice, but it was worth it." Friya said while leaning on Faluel to not fall on the ground.

"You practiced?" Lith's face was twisted in a grimace of horror. "Who told you about Solus' sleepwalking and since when is my private life gossip material?"

"It was me." Tista raised her hand. "Solus told me and I Faluel."

"Why did you do that?" He inhaled sharply in annoyance.

"Because it's funny and because you disappeared for a month." She shrugged. "Everyone was worried for you and pissed off for having missed the wedding. I just kept our friends in the loop. It's no big deal."

Lith clenched his teeth, emitting angry gibberish until he managed to calm down.

"Fine! You are all invited to the wedding. Please, relay my invitation also to Vastor and Marth." He said.

"What about our parents?" Phloria asked.

"Kami has already contacted Jirni. She's going to be her bridesmaid along with Zin."

"Who is going to be your groomsmen? You need two as well to match the bride." Protector' was so excited that his tail popped out of it back wagging furiously.

"That's actually a big deal." Lith replied with a sigh. "I don't have many male friends and none of them actually contributed to my relationship."

"That's not true. I helped you break the news of your nature as a hybrid to Kamila." Protector said, but Lith ignored him.
