"By rejuvenating your bodies, it both keeps impurities from forming over time and your bodies from strengthening properly in-between breakthroughs. Tista, to not need help to survive your next core refinement, you need impurities whereas Phloria has too many of them.
"She needs to remove the excess and reinforce her body which is still a long shot from that of a proper blue-cored Awakened. Quylla, Friya, Nalrond, if you remain so weak, your magic will also be limited."
Her words made everyone groan, making them feel like Lith had an unfair advantage over them, just like at the academy. freewebnσvel.cøm
"That said, you’re also right. A rigorous training requires rest, otherwise you’ll never be able to absorb the knowledge I’m teaching you and it would just roll off your back. I plan on giving you free time, but only once you’ve learned the basics.
"Speaking of free time, this is for you." Faluel handed Quylla the letter.
The moment she recognized her mother’s handwriting, a cold shiver ran down her spine. Jirni used letters solely to deliver orders. Whenever there was room for negotiation, she would always meet her children in person
Quylla imprinted the enchanted wax seal and it crumbled along with the envelopes’ protective spell. The letter was surprisingly long and its tone mild.
"Dear Quylla,
During the past years, you’ve rejected all the suitors I introduced to you regardless of their talent, looks, or personality. At this point, I have no idea what you’re looking for in a companion and I came to believe that you ignore it as well.
"I’m growing afraid that if you keep up like this, you’ll let life pass by you and miss a lot of experiences. I’m not as worried about your sisters because they both have the strength of character to pursue what they want when they find it.
"No matter how wonderful magic is, it’s a job like any other and once you grow older and live on your own, it will not give you a birthday present, it will not take care of you when you are sick, nor will it bring you a smile when you’re sad. That’s what people are for.
"Baron Eari is the perfect opportunity to face your trauma head-on and understand at least everything you don’t want in a companion. I’ve spent very little time with him and I can assure you he’s a living compendium of flaws.
"After a single date with him, I’m sure you’ll be able to see the good in any other man. Remember that I gave him my word you would go out with him and to wait at least one hour before dumping him.
"With love, Mom."
"Is he still here?" After reading the letter, Quylla had to admit that most of Jirni’s observations were on point.
Sure, it was likely to be just a ruse to manipulate her feelings, but it didn’t make Jirni’s words any less true. Quylla didn’t have Friya’s endless line of suitors, nor Phloria’s guts to make the first move when she met someone interesting.
"Yeah. He is a piece of work, so I had him detained to keep me from either ripping my ears or his tongue off." Faluel’s angry voice surprised Lith.
He knew the Hydra the best and he had never seen her that livid before, not even when dealing with the Council’s underhanded ploys.
’I wonder who could possibly be obnoxious enough to make Faluel angry yet manage to not get themselves killed.’ Lith thought.
