Chapter 1396 - Downfall of the Conceited (Part 2)

It was a slightly modified version of "Hey, Soulmate" by Locomotive. A sweet melody filled the air, making those present stare at the enchanted object with wonder.

They had expected Kamila to sing or play an instrument, not to pull off the enhanced version of a Rememberer. They were precious and expensive magical devices capable of storing precious memories in the form of holograms.

They were well known throughout Garlen and even though they come with sounds as well, it was just a matter of adding a narrating voice or the chirping of birds. A full song and all of the instruments necessary to perform it was simply unheard of.

"What is that thing?" Queen Sylpha asked in amazement.

"Just a trinket that Lith, I mean, Archmage Verhen gifted me for my birthday." Kamila lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

Aside from the magical objects that she used for work and those she saw at Lith’s house, Kamila knew nothing about artifacts. She didn’t expect to raise such a fuss or she wouldn’t have taken the Tuner out in the first place.

Most of those people present inwardly griped at her words.

Judging from the lyrics and from how expensive it was supposed to be, the Tuner had to be a betrothal gift. Which meant that neither the Royals nor any of the noble families had any chance left to arrange a marriage between Archmage Verhen and one of their daughters.

"It’s a wonderful betrothal gift." Sylpha said, asking the question on everyone’s mind in an indirect way.

"No, it’s not. Also, Lith didn’t pick this song, I did." Kamila blushed.

She couldn’t tell them that he usually listened to either very sad songs or something that seemed out of epic poems. She had long insisted before he played for her romantic or cheesy songs and Lith had gifted her the Tuner because she loved that melody whereas he couldn’t stand it.

"It’s amazing anyway." Sylpha said and the others nodded in agreement. "Every time I want to listen to a song I like, I have to call the whole damn orc.h.e.s.tra. Lith could make a lot of money with it."

Only in theory. The Tuner had never been realized before because the Forgemaster would need to be able to play every single instrument and to sing. Producing a melody required more than humming a tune, it needed to make everything flow in harmony.

Lith couldn’t tell a C from a C sharp and neither could Solus, but she could extract the memory from his mind down to the smallest detail, making the impossible possible.

"You’re a lucky woman. My husband never wrote something this romantic for me." Sylpha glared at the poor Meron who had already too much work as a mage and a King to play music.

"Lith didn’t write it either. He collected several songs during his travels as a Ranger." Kamila said, regretting her actions more by the second.

"Weird. I’m a music enthusiast and I’ve never heard it before." Sylpha shrugged. "Don’t worry, child. Such a gift requires a lot of thought. I’m certain that you two have-"

Another report from the amulet cut her short, bringing terrible news that made the song sound like a requiem.

’Me and my beautiful, s.e.xy, big mouth.’ Manohar thought after all the light runes that covered his armor had been consumed to form his best spells.

’I figured that by fighting one of the most ancient known Light Masters, I could learn something while kicking her a.s.s. What happened, instead, is that I’m no match for that woman. I never expected her to be so much stronger than Night.’
