Chapter 1129 Thinking Ahead Part 1

"I’ll let Feela know." Scarlett turned around to leave, but Sedra stopped her.

"Aunt Scarlett, please, don’t abandon me here."

"You dug your own grave, child, I can only hope you find it comfortable." She said with a stone face and a flat voice.

Scarlett’s heart actually ached at the idea of his death. Sedra was indeed stupid, but all she could see while looking at him was the hatchling that followed her everywhere and believed to go unnoticed while hiding under her own mane.

Yet showing any concern for him would only make Xedros raise his price. Sedra tried to speak again, but Scarlett shoved a handbook in his mouth.

"Those are the laws that regulate the relationship between a master and their apprentice. Study them as if your life depends on it, because it surely does." Scarlett said before leaving for good.

Lustria county, Faluel’s lair.

After the meeting with Lith was over, the Hydra summoned Friya to discuss her future. There was only so much that Faluel could teach her before the bond between them became too deep.

Friya wasn’t like Lith, who the Hydra helped out of friendship and curiosity, nor like Quylla whose unparallel talent for light magic had helped Faluel to deepen her understanding of the elements.

’I wish one of my children had her talent and honest passion for magic.’ The more Faluel got to know her, the more she regretted Quylla being a human. ’Instead of just teaching her small stuff, I would make her my assistant and heir, securing the Hydra bloodline for the next generation.’

"Master Faluel, I’m here as you requested." Friya entered through a dimensional array and gave the Hydra a deep bow, interrupting her train of thought.

"Please, sit down. We have much to discuss." Faluel pointed at her the comfortable armchair where Lith had been until a few minutes before.

Friya looked at the chairs, the tea table, and the pastries before swallowing a lump of saliva. She had been expecting another long and boring lesson about Forgemastering, not the perfect setup to get the boot.

"Did I do anything wrong?" Friya’s legs refused to move, fearing that once she sat down her apprenticeship would be over.

"Nothing of the sort." Faluel gave Friya a warm smile that failed to reassure her.

Friya went to her chair, feeling as if the ground under her feet shook more with each step. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"The reason I asked you to come over is that I taught you all I could without compromising the secrets behind my core techniques.

"Nalrond is still teaching me Light Mastery, Lith is about to step into the next phase of his apprenticeship, and Quylla has proven her usefulness by helping me improve many of my spells.
