Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3711

Chapter 3711: Little Miracle (Part 2)

Lith was hurt from the events of that day and Valeron’s rejection. Yet the baby boy had made his choice just like Raldarak had made his own. Lith vowed to respect them both, but wouldn’t let the pain dull his mind.

That no matter what other petty scheme Orpal might concoct next, Lith wouldn’t let his hated brother ruin his beloved children’s lives.

Solus and Menadion left Lith’s study room soon after Raldarak’s little celebration for the family reunion, to give the couple the privacy they deserved.

Yet the two women’s moods couldn’t have differed more.

Solus was sad for Valeron, happy for Raldarak, and bitterly envious of Kamila.

’No matter how close my bond with Lith is, that kind of connection with the babies belongs only to her. I can share those moments when Lith fuses his mind with me, but I’ll never feel the joy Kami experiences when they communicate through the Dragon Scales.’

Ripha, instead, smiled ear to ear. There was a spring in her step and a faint light in her eyes that Solus had only seen in her memories where the First Ruler of the Flames spent time with her husband, Threin.

Luckily, that was where the similarities ended. Ripha’s smile was proud, not loving, and she exuded strong but cold admiration, not burning passion.

"Mom, why do you have that look?" Solus asked.

"What look?" Menadion was honestly confused.

"This look." Solus shared her vision with Ripha via a mind link.

"Oh, that." Ripha laughed at her daughter’s worry. "How could I look any different after what I’ve witnessed today? And I don’t mean only right now, but also on the battlefield. I wish you could have seen it too, Epp- Solus.

"Lith was..." Menadion hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right word. "Magnificent. No matter if he were struggling for his life or cutting his enemies down like grass. Every swing of his blade, every spell he cast was an extension of his will."

’I’ve actually seen it with the mind fusion and spectated it in person countless times in the past.’ Solus thought, but didn’t interrupt her mother.

"He didn’t say a word, but his actions spoke for him, and they were loud. You know that I never liked Lith much, right?" Menadion asked, and Solus nodded in reply. "All his weird secrets, the other planet stuff, and how creepy and intimate his relationship with you is."

"Mom!" Solus blushed in embarrassment. "Keep your voice down. Even better, shut up!"

"Don’t worry. It’s good news." Ripha shrugged, ignoring her daughter’s objections. "Between Lith’s magic lessons and the events of today, I’ve changed my opinion of him.

"I could only watch while he fought. I was stuck as a one-eyed Demon and was as weak as a baby. At first, my only worry was that if something happened to Lith, I’d lose you again. Yet as the fight went on, I craved the power not only to protect you, but also to stand by his side.

"Those Awakened had every advantage, yet Lith never yielded. Even when surrounded and under a hail of deadly attacks, he always put Valeron’s safety first. His fighting spirit lit a fire in me that made me curse my own weakness.

"I prayed to the gods to give me the power to help him. I promised them that I’d do and give anything to have my body back, even if for just one moment. The other Demons did the same, even those like Trion and Valia who have no children.

"As you know, no one listened to our prayers. If someone did, they sure didn’t answer. No one ever does." Ripha sighed, thinking back to the time when Threin had died and Bytra had betrayed her. freēwebnovel.com
