Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3710

Chapter 3710: Little Miracle (Part 1)

"Following that idiotic reasoning, I should have also abandoned Solus whenever things got hard. Heck, I might even abandon Elysia if the Guardians didn’t protect her, since I can always have another daughter." Lith’s face twisted in disgust, spitting out every word as if it were coated in poison.

"That’s indeed bad, but it’s not what I was talking about." Menadion said. "I wanted you to notice that even after Lith refused to surrender Valeron and suffered many wounds, Valeron didn’t entrust him with the Life Maelstrom until the very end. That’s why Lith is so upset."

There was no blame toward the baby in the First Ruler of the Flames’ voice. Only a newfound respect that hadn’t been there until that moment.

"Together with what you’ve witnessed a few minutes ago, it’s a sign his relationship with Valeron might be broken beyond repair."

"Oh gods, Lith, I’m so sorry." Kamila hugged him with the Dragon Scales, feeling his sadness and resignation.

"Me too." Solus caressed his hand. "I was so angry for what those Awakened did to Valeron that I missed how much they hurt you."

"It’s fine." Lith sighed. "I had the whole ambush to mull this over, whereas you just learned about it. The silver lining is that I don’t think we have to worry about the third Camellia branch anymore."

His eyes moved on the mystical flower set up in a vase on the tea table’s centerpiece.

"Don’t say that!" Solus replied. "Valeron was just too hurt and shaken from the revelation to think clearly. For my Mom’s sake, he’s just a baby! There was no malice in his withholding the Life Maelstrom.

"Even now, he’s just acting out. He needs some time to think."

"I wish I shared your optimism." Lith said, thinking of all the times he had felt Valeron refer to him as Jormun’s murderer via the Dragon scales.

’I can’t even take it as an insult since it’s the truth.’ He thought.

"Look, I agree with Solus that Valeron needs time." Kamila said. "I don’t know what he’ll do when he calms down, and neither do you. What I know is that whatever comes next, we’ll face it together."

The first thing Kamila had learned from Lith’s job as a Ranger first and then from her own job as a Royal Constable was never to make a promise she couldn’t keep.

"Also, I know that you have a daughter and another son who love you very much." She handed him Elysia, who at first cried to be reassured about Valeron’s behavior and then hugged Lith to reassure him once she perceived his distress.

"Dya?" Elysia looked at him with her big, round eyes.

"Please, say it again, baby girl. Daddy needs to hear it." Lith returned the embrace.

"Dya! Dya! Dada! Dad!" Elysia gave her all, her face a mask of focus and determination as she spoke the last word.

"You did it, baby girl!" It was the first time Elysia called him dad, and Lith rejoiced for it.

She felt his relief through the Dragon Scales and redoubled her efforts.

"Dad! Dady! Daddy!"

"That’s my girl!" Lith stood up from his chair and spun around with the giggling Elysia in his extended arms.

Kamila waited for Lith’s enthusiasm to wane a bit before taking one of his hands and bringing it to her baby bump.
