Chapter 1349 - White Streaks (Part 1)

"What the f.u.c.k?" Lith looked at his Abomination features fading away and ad then at Kamila as if he saw her for the first time.

"Don’t worry, babe, it’s all right. You just need to rest and to give your poor brain a break. Otherwise you’re not going to perform well at Faluel’s." She said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"We both know that tomorrow you have a lesson you cannot afford to miss. Whoever did this, they wanted to destroy you by attacking where it hurts the most and they went this close to succeeding." She pointed at his cracked rings, her wounds, and at the lingering blackness on his hands.

"If you change your life because of what happened tonight, if you drop everything just to prepare for their next attack, then you’d be just dancing in the hand of the culprit.

"When you find this bastard, I want you to play by your own rules, not to follow theirs. This way, no matter what sick game they have in mind. They can’t beat you if you refuse to play it." Kamila said.

"I really don’t deserve you." Lith used all the Invigoration he had left on Kamila, to heal her wounds without leaving a single scar.

"Finally something we can agree on." She smiled as the Scalewalker covered her again and they moved to the bedroom. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Lith fell asleep in her arms like a child, both his mind and his body were too tired to hold out a second longer after touching the mattress.

Only then did Kamila allow herself to weep for what had happened to Lark and to shiver in fear at the idea of what might have happened if Lith really lost control over his Abomination side.

’Not telling Lith that I love him to calm him down was the right thing to do. He would have been too vulnerable to give me an honest answer and it would have added even more weight on his shoulders.’

’I want to be someone he can rely upon, not another person he has to worry about.’ She thought, knowing that even though the sun would keep rising, Mogar had now turned into a darker place.

The ruins of the Lark Household, after that all the evidence had been collected and the area cleared of the corpses.

Archon Jirni Ernas didn’t know Count Lark much, but she knew that he was a good and honest man. It was more than she could say about most people she knew, even herself.

Yet his death was worse than a cruel murder. It was the proof that, even though it wasn’t the real deal, the card that she had received represented a threat to her family. Jirni couldn’t just wait for the culprit’s next move, she needed to prepare her own.

The moment she returned to the safety and the secrecy of her home, she used her secure amulet to contact Professor Vastor outside the known Kingdom lines of communication.

"I need to know if our project is ready." Jirni said the moment Vastor picked up the call.

"At a great personal cost but yes, it is." He already knew about what had happened to Lark, making the "Future" card he had found in front of Zinya’s home burn in his pocket.

He wasn’t afraid for himself. Killing a country noble was one thing, putting a scratch on the Master and live to tell the tale was another.

"How the heck did you do it?" She blurted out in surprise.

"Do you really want to know?" Vastor replied.
