Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1344

Chapter 1344 - From Blackest Day (Part 2)

The Blackest Day was a treat for kids and criminals alike. Each city and village of the Kingdom held its own fair, bringing a lot of money to local business and lots of thieves in the streets.

It was one of the busiest nights for the members of the law enforcement so Kamila had to leave right after dinner.

The members of the Yehval and of the Fastarrow families dined together at the Verhen’s because putting the children together was the only way for the grown-ups to have some quiet.

The fair was a big event for someone so young and they all had saved as much as they could from their allowances for that day. Also, being kids, they believed to superstitions and were excited at the idea of seeing spirits wandering among the living.

As long as the ghosts kept at a distance and their parents protected them, of course.

"Man, you really look like crap." Kamila said while looking at Lith’s further debilitated state after practicing for the violet core on his way back.

They only had a bit of time before and after dinner for themselves so mincing words was out of the question.

"Thanks. You too look horrible after a double shift and not even taking the time for a shower or a cup of tea." Lith wanted to sound mean, but it came out apologetic since he was the reason for that.

"If I did that, I wouldn’t have been able to welcome you back when you arrived home." She heavily sat on their too comfortable bed, making her eyes droop the moment she started to relax.

"You could have done that later." Lith sat behind her and massaged her stiff shoulders.

"It’s not the same thing. You do so many things at once that sometimes you forget the reason why you started them in the first place. I want to be there to remind you of your goals and that power is just a means, not an end in itself." She turned around and looked him in the eyes before kissing his right hand. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Kamila could feel that part of him was still lost somewhere far away, but she didn’t give up on bringing it back.

"You know, before meeting you, people would worry for me, but in the end, it was always up to me taking care of them, not the other way around." Lith held her tight, thankful for the attention she showered him with, even at personal cost.

"And before meeting you, I had no idea how home-cooked food tasted like. I’d say it’s a sweet deal for both of us." Kamila chuckled. "Jokes aside, remember the rules. No more training for today or the kids will think that you’re haunted by a malevolent spirit.

"Remember what I told you about having fun. Whenever you think back to this day, the first thing that comes to your mind must be the small things that you shared with others, not some magical breakthrough. Are we clear?"

"Yes, Mom." Lith replied to both her and Elina that had just called them over for dinner.

Kamila left after the meal, before things got hectic. The kids couldn’t wait to leave while the women couldn’t wait to kick them out and have some peace. Being ghosts and scary stuff involved, the Blackest Day was a dad thing.

It was up to the men of the family to "protect" the children while Elina and the others took their time to enjoy Lutia’s fair, hunt for juicy gossip, and maybe do some shopping.
