Chapter 1288 - Away from Home (Part 2)

’What the heck? They didn’t even search the magical beasts? I better get out of here fast or someone will chase us to ask me for some frigging favor.’ Lith left in a hurry, dodging several quests that arrived a few seconds after his departure only thanks to the sharp instinct he had inherited from Raaz.

After the events in Kolga, Leegaain couldn’t take it anymore. He was sick and tired of Councils and Guardians considering him Lith’s father. The Father of all Dragons knew to be innocent and such claims wouldn’t bother him in the least if not for Lith succeeding in his latest world tribulation.

Guardians bothered him to know which partner had allowed him to spawn a lesser Dragon whose powers could potentially rival that of the Guardians while the Councils tried to cajole him into helping them with promises to help his alleged heir.

No matter how strongly Leegaain denied those allegations, the only thing he had achieved was the Guardians searching for all the companions he had in the past and several members of the Council bothering him so much that he had been forced to mute his communication amulet.

’I must admit that between the scales and the Origin Flames, Dragons are the first thing that comes to mind when seeing Lith’s proto-Guardian form. Also, his growth speed is simply outstanding.

’He is this close to reaching the violet core by the age when most hybrids have to worry about choosing their life force and he has already opened five of his seven eyes in the same time that usually takes a Hydra to grow their second head.’ Leegaain thought.

’Last but not least, his bloodline carries an outstanding power that it’s only limited by his lack of experience and resources. As much as I wouldn’t mind being blood-related with him, I know for a fact that I’m not.

’If one of my enemies targets him because of me, I’d feel obligated to help him whereas my allies are going to give him gifts for no reason. On top of that, my children now resent me for abandoning their "brother".

’Zoreth means well, but by calling him little brother in public is causing me a lot of trouble. My only way out is to prove once and for all that the anomaly belongs to a different species.’ He inwardly sighed.

Never in his life had Leegaain been grateful to fake mages like he was now towards Marth. Blood Resonance would allow him to finally clear that misunderstanding. To do that, he needed a sample of blood from Lith’s parents and a trustworthy witness.

Without the former, he couldn’t perform the test and without the latter, nobody would believe him, claiming that the blood belonged to two random humans.

Reaching Lutia by flight had taken him but a few hours, most of which he had spent trying to go unnoticed. Tyris would have laughed at Leegaain’s attempt and demanded to accompany him during his stay on her turf, making his mission impossible.

He wanted something covert whereas two Guardians moving together for a petty reason like a paternity test would be an unprecedented event. Everyone would believe that the rumors were true and that Tyris was helping him for her own gain if not to hide the fact that she was the mother.

’If only that stupid Griffon had more than one human form.’ The Father of All Dragons inwardly griped while knocking on a stone door. ’The appearance she uses always draws attention because she’s too beautiful.

’With all the trouble that the war against Undead Courts is causing, using a disguise is off the table as well. Not to mention that Tyris is still quite angry about my little manipulation and might even try to stop me.’

"Grampa! What are you doing here and why didn’t you just Warp?" Faluel the Hydra wasn’t expecting visitors that day.

"I can’t go to two complete strangers, draw their blood, and expect that no one will make a fuss. Not with all the crazy layers of protections around the Verhen household and the armor they wear. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
