Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 Double Date Part 2

The only sour note was that Rena and the children liked to spend a lot of time back at the Verhen household due to the various magical appliances that made a mother’s life much easier, like tap water or a bathroom instead of an outhouse.

"Come in, Nalrond. Brina will get down in a minute." Rena sighed with relief while checking out his new outfit. "Thank the gods you’re not like my brother. I was afraid you would show up with your usual clothes after just cleaning them with a spell."

"Lith can afford it because of the Skinwalker armor. Faluel doesn’t mind patches and claw marks from the kids, but if Brina sees them, she would ask questions I don’t want to answer." Nalrond envied Lith for many reasons and his self-repairing clothes were among them.

"How is Selia doing?"

"I have never seen her so happy. She has gone back hunting and is catching up with all her old friends. My guess is that she was sick and tired of being a housewife in the middle of nowhere." Nalrond said.

"What about the kids? With Prot- Ryman being often away and you all caught up by your apprenticeship, who takes care of the kids while she’s out?" Rena asked.

"She does the same thing you do. Selia leaves Lilia and Leran with Zinya and the little Fenrir to Elina. Your mother is great with kids and she says that she’s glad to have the opportunity to learn how to take care of hybrid children."

"Lith is getting himself into trouble." Rena shook her head. "Zinya is becoming a part of our family. If it keeps up like this, he will have to face Selia’s wrath as well if he messes his relationship with Kamila."

"Indeed. While we’re at it, how the heck did Lith manage to date while hiding everything about himself? Maybe this is a mistake. If Brina starts to ask the wrong questions, I might ruin a lot of lives." Nalrond was getting cold feet.

"Relax. Brina has already accepted to go out with you so the hard part is over." Rena straightened his shirt and dusted his shoulders like a mother sending her son to the prom.

"Lith didn’t hide much, just the Awakening and the hybrid stuff. Just be yourself and talk freely, but remember to make no mention about those two things..."

"I’m sorry for being late. Have you been waiting long?" Brina came down the stairs.

She was 1.54 meters (5’1") tall with waist-long gold hair and clear blue eyes. Brina wore a white linen blouse and a beige skirt that emphasized her tanned skin. She was quite cute, especially since her diminutive stature emphasized her curves.

"No, I have just arrived." Nalrond took a deep breath and offered her his arm that she promptly took.

"Oh my. Have you been exercising?" Brina asked while feeling his muscles.

"It’s a long story." Just the thought of his training made him shudder.

"Then it’s a good thing we have all night in front of us. I’m really curious to hear everything about the Blood Desert and why you came to Lutia just to become a nanny. Are you really as good with children as everyone says?"

Brina’s questions, her pressing his arm against her chest, and Rena’s wink in response to his silent plea for help let Nalrond understand how screwed up he was.
