Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1339

Chapter 1339 - The Prodigals’ Return (Part 3)

"When I heard that my girls were involved with two of the most powerful men in the Kingdom, I had to make sure that they treated my daughters right." Once again, Clefas attempted the carrot and the stick.

"Archmage Verhen, I heard that you’ve been dating my Kami for almost three years. Are your intentions honest or are you just playing with her feelings?" He was seconds away from shitting himself in fear, but he knew that the greater the risks, the greater the reward.

Anything that Lith said could be used against him in the noble circles and by acting as a good parent, Clefas had the opportunity to get on Kamila’s good side again.

If they ended up not marrying, Lith’s political opponents would pay a hefty sum to stain his reputation whereas if they did, the Retta household would be entitled to a share of Lith’s income from both the silver mines and as Forgemaster.

Or so he thought until the bathroom’s door burst open, letting Kamila out.

"Don’t you dare to call me Kami again. That’s family only and I’ve disowned you!" She took out the legal papers and shoved them under Clefas’ nose. "As for what we do with our relationship, it’s none of your business."

"Dear, do you have to be so rude? Your father and your fiancé are trying to have a civilized conversation. Maybe if you wore something different from your Constable uniform, you wouldn’t be so judgemental." Kima managed to make her feel like an unruly child by criticizing Kamila for her clothing and demeanor at the same time.

"Don’t be so harsh on her, dear. Kamila has a point. Our family did drift apart over the years and that’s because we worried more about our money issues than about our own blood." Warm tears streamed down Clefas’ cheeks, yet Lith was unimpressed.

Compared to Zekell, the man had much to learn about crying on cue.

"Tell me about it." Lith held Kamila’s hand, making her sit next to him on the sofa. "Maybe I can help you. If we ever have kids, they should have the opportunity to enjoy the company of all their grandparents."

His words filled every one of those present with joy for a different reason, especially Kima who had yet to regain her cool from Lith’s entrance.

"My husband is too humble. We have plenty of promising business opportunities, the only thing we lack is the necessary funds. Without dimensional storage items and due to the tight security measures that the Kingdom enforced after the war with the undead began, making a profit has become difficult."

Lith nodded for her to continue and Kima was happy to oblige. As Lith casually played with the buttons of his shirt or took an incredibly expensive item out of his dimensional pocket, Kima’s togue became looser.

He couldn’t stop her without raising suspicions and Kima was actually doing an excellent pitch that the shortest pause would ruin.

"Interesting. I’ll talk about it with the administrator of my finances." Lith said, making the Retta Couple inwardly jump with joy. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

"What about you, Meln? What are you doing here?" Lith’s soft smile stung at Orpal’s pride for the umpteenth time that night, almost making his mask crumble.

Almost.

’First you ignored me, then you cut me out of the conversation as if I’m just a piece of furniture, and now you use my new name to remember everyone that I’m not part of this family any longer. Well played, Leech.’ Orpal kept his cool solely thanks to Night’s training.

’Man, if he’s hot.’ Night hid that thought from Orpal to keep him from ruining all of their hard work out of blind envy.
