Chapter 1279 - Test Drive (Part 3)

"Dad?" Senton asked.

"Yes, I’m your father. Look inside you, you know it’s the truth." The blacksmith’s voice oozed sarcasm.

"I wasn’t questioning that. What I meant to say is, what are you doing here?"

"Didn’t you hear your mother-in-law? The air stinks today and we should get away from those ruffians." Zekell said with a scoff.

"I know but-"

"I can’t believe that my own son doesn’t consider me a member of this family and wants to leave me behind." Zekell started to cry again, earning Senton several glares.

"Uncle, can we bring Grampa along? Pretty please." Leria begged Lith with her big puppy c.h.e.s.tnut eyes that she had inherited from Tista.

"Everything for my little fairy." Lith and Senton both inwardly griped at Zekell calling the pot black right before shamelessly exploiting his own niece to get what he wanted.

"Mom, do you want to give it a go?" Lith asked before take-off.

"Maybe later. Now I want just to observe." Elina had been angered by the Lutians’ words, yet they had also made her see past her fears and take pride in her son’s work.

No matter how scary the thought of flight was, the fact that Lith had created for her something as amazing as the DoLorean was enough to make Elina overcome her worries.

She wanted to learn how to use it to make her son proud of her as well.

"By the way, thanks for your vote of confidence, Friya." Lith said with a sneer. "Your desperate screams for help touched my heart. I’ll use them the next time I have to stage a damsel in distress for the kids."

"You never told me what to expect!" She tried to defend herself while turning to a bright shade of purple.

"That’s because I hoped that you trusted me enough to appreciate the surprise. Even Aran is braver than you." Lith turned around to ruffle his little brother’s hair while the DoLorean slowly gained altitude to not scare anyone.

"Don’t worry, auntie. I’ll protect you." Aran puffed his c.h.e.s.t out with pride, holding Friya’s hand to reassure her and making things even more humiliating for her.

"Tista, do you mind calling Lark? We have plenty of time for a visit." Lith moved towards the Count’s residence before someone could raise an objection.

"We’re not properly dressed!" Raaz said.

"I’m pretty sure I told you to keep at least one set of fancy clothes inside your armor." Aran and Leria shapeshifted their Scalewalker armor into silk evening clothes, confirming Lith’s words as he set the speed from one to two.

"Dad doesn’t have one!" Senton said.

"I’ll be your valet, then, Your Majesty." Zekell laughed hard, giving a bow to the kids while Lith moved the speed lever up a notch.

"I’m glad beyond what words can express that for once Lith decided to visit me without a hidden agenda." Lark’s voice sounded jovial as usual. "How long will it take for you to arrive?"
