Chapter 1997 Golem Crafting (Part 1)

"You are right. I have no sense of art, but I'm willing to learn." Morok replied with a gasp before dragging Quylla into a side room.

"I think it's out of the mind of an old drunken sailor as well." Nalrond pointed at the tower while looking at Friya.

"Very funny." She clicked her tongue, tilting her hips while putting her hands on them. "You already know about the tower and we've both seen Solus getting drunk. I've got no reason to sweet talk you out of this room."

"It was worth a shot." He replied with a sigh. "Attending a wedding brought back a lot of memories from my village and you are simply stunning in that dress."

He pointed at her attire that even though had been chosen in order to not outshine the bride it could do very little to hide her hourglass figure. The dull cream color just brought out her rosy skin and the lack of jewelry drew more attention to her eyes that sparkled like stars under the magical lights.

"Really?" Friya asked with a giggle.

"Really. Maybe it's because I saw how Lith changed from before to after getting married, but I wish I could be as brave as Kamila." He said.

"Are you proposing to me?" She asked in shock.

"Gods, no!" The flat refusal made Friya purse her lips in a thin line and steel her gaze. "I mean, we don't know each other for long and I've yet to find a way to fuse my life forces. Besides, without Lith's mines, I'm dirt poor and-"

"I'm rich enough for ten people." She cut his short with words first and then with a deep kiss. "You know what, maybe it's the wedding of my best friends or maybe I've drunk too much, but Quylla is right. I find the new tower romantic as well."

Between the drinks, the pleasant mood, and the jet lag, very few guests returned home after the end of the party. Most of them stayed for the night, enjoying Salaark's hospitality.

Lith, however, was on a clock and couldn't afford to waste time sleeping in. He woke up at dawn, ready for a long day in the Forge.

'Either the Royals summon me to make me a Magus or to help them with the war, I have to be ready for action the moment our deal is signed. A full pardon means having our home back and Dad needs good news.' He thought while dressing up.

Kamila was still deeply asleep from the moment she had touched the pillow the previous night. Between the stress from the marriage, the standing up all the time to chat with her guests, and the dance, she hadn't even managed to undress before going to bed.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go." Lith said with a sigh.

"Mmhkay, love you." She replied from a corner of her lips.

"Since everyone is already here, we can finally start working on my golems. I've already learned everything I need about memory crystals from Jirni's research group. Also, with the new Fury, I can split the pseudo cores with the others and make a power core like I could only dream about until a while ago."

"That's great. Love you." She took Lith's unused pillow and used it to shield her head from the light and his annoying chatter.

"I love you too." Lith leaned over to kiss her, obtaining an exasperated groan in return. "You know, I was thinking that maybe later we could-"
