Chapter 3707: A Name’s Weight (Part 2)

After that, Lith and Jormun hadn’t met for a long while until the events in the Eclipsed Lands. Lith projected their fight with the mind link, skipping all the blood and never blaming either side.

Valeron was too young to be exposed to the horrors of Thrud’s experiments, and he had already lost too much in a single day. Lith had no intention of tainting the image of Valeron’s mother.

Then, came the War of the Griffons, and Lith told it like one of his bedtime stories. There were two armies, two royal couples, and they fought for the Griffon Kingdom. Once again, Lith blamed no side.

There were no corpses or wounds, just the war cries of men and the clangor of battle to emphasize the conflict. When it came to Lith’s final encounter with Jormun, he shared with the baby every word, look, and emotion the two men had shared.

Even the thoughts they had exchanged by hugging while in their Dragon form before starting the fight.

Valeron watched the ensuing battle while feeling more and more confused. How could his father not hate the man who had come to invade his castle? How could Lith and Jormun hurt each other even though they didn’t want to?

How could they respect and empathize with someone so much yet not hesitate to strike him down? As Valeron watched the fight unfold, he found himself unable to cheer for either side, even though he already knew the outcome.

After his begrudging victory, Lith promised to take care of Valeron in case anything happened to Thrud. After that, the War of the Griffons skipped right to its ending. Thrud hated Lith for killing Jormun and wanted to hurt him.

Lith glossed over Phloria’s kidnapping and death, just making clear Thrud’s intentions and Lith’s reasons to keep fighting.

The story ended like that since Lith didn’t want to be the one to show Valeron how his mother had died.

"Adya!" Valeron snarled as warm tears streaked down his cheeks.

There was no affection in the word. It sounded like an order, and the baby used it only because Leegaain’s name was too hard for him to speak.

"Yes, Em’har?" The Guardian appeared, and the Dragontongue word for loved ones only earned him a scornful gaze.

"You knew?" Valeron asked, extending his arm again.

"Yes." Leegaain replied. "I know even more than Lith does."

The Guardian of Wisdom showed the baby boy how Thrud had unwittingly controlled Jormun. The Emerald Dragon had run away as soon as he had been set free and sought his father’s help.

Yet he had returned to Thrud’s side the moment the baby was born and never left her again. Leegaain replayed for Valeron all the times Jormun had tried to convince Thrud to give up on the Griffon Kingdom and live a peaceful life with her new family. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Thrud always refused, her ambition to restore her legacy stronger than her love for Jormun. Leegaain had care to make evident how much she loved her husband and son, but that wasn’t enough for Valeron.

He resented Thrud because her stubbornness had taken her and his father away from him forever. Leegaain confirmed everything Lith had said, skipping all the atrocities of the war.

"Nana!" Valeron called for Tyris next, and this time she answered the call.
