Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1287

Chapter 1287 - Away from Home (Part 1)

"It’s too bad that you can’t bring Zinya’s children along as well. Those poor kids don’t have a father figure and with all of their friends gone, they are bound to feel lonely." Raaz said.

He had hoped that sharing such an experience would bring the two families even closer.

"Don’t worry about them. After I told Vastor that Zinya’s kids would remain alone, his nieces took the matter out of his hands. While I’ll spend my days in the wilds, Zinya and her children will be guests in Vastor’s home.

"Besides, they have little talent for magic. Seeing what I would teach Aran and Leria yet not be able to participate would be torture to them." With their red cores, there was little that Zinya’s children could do, even with chore magic.

"What about Kamila?" Elina chimed in. "You would get to spend a bit of time together and experience what it means to raise children instead of just pampering them."

"Mom, I’m still young!" Lith became beet red at the thought. "I’ll become nineteen in a few months and-"

"And by that age, I already had Rena, Trion, and by twenty I had Tista as well. Don’t forget that twenty years of age also marks the point when a hybrid has to choose their nature and I’d like my grandkids to have a bit of the Verhen blood along with that of the Dragon, Demon, or whatever you’re turning into." Elina cut him short.

"For your information, Kamila couldn’t take a leave from her job and even if she could, she told me that sleeping on rocks and living with no bathroom it’s not her idea of vacation." Being unable to beat the enemy in a direct confrontation, Lith could only get around it.

"And whose fault is that if that poor girl sees it as a waste of time instead of as an opportunity?" Like a purebred hound, Elina wouldn’t let go of the prey once she sank her teeth into it.

"I’m not getting any younger and neither is she. Is it a crime to want a few grandkids until I have the strength to enjoy them?"

’I can’t believe Mogar is such a cruel place where a woman as young as Kamila is already considered a spinster.’ Solus felt much more compassion toward her after discovering that her first life had ended at 28.

If Kamila at 27 was to be considered old, then Solus who had lived 15 more years after meeting Lith would be akin to an old bat.

"Speaking of opportunities, I’ve reserved two suites at the Flying Griffon resort. One for you two and another for Rena." If fight and flight were both impossible, Lith could only beg for mercy.

’Now I understand how Manohar feels. Magic, swords, and even logic are powerless against my mother.’ He thought.

"Young man, are you trying to bribe your way out of this conversation?" Elina tapped her foot while Raaz pretended to have heard one of his farmhands calling him.

Helping one of them meant ending up on the black book of the other, but staying neutral meant angering them both.

"Dad, help me out..." Lith said a few seconds too late to a now-empty chair.

"Nonsense! Dear, tell him..." Elina clicked her tongue at her missing husband.

"Is it hot in there?" Bromann, one of his oldest friends, asked Raaz.
