Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1422

Chapter 1422 - Kamila and Solus (Part 2)

"You look awful. When was the last time you had a proper meal?" Kamila took his hand and dragged Lith to the table laden with food.

"I think I had a beer and a few meat skewers at the same time Mirim died." He said with a guilty voice.​​

"Your dinner and her demise are in no way related, silly." She hugged him, doing her best to put aside how tired she was after a sleepless night due to being forced to work a triple shift.

Despite all that, she had still found the time to go back home and change into her "lucky clothes", those she had worn during their first date, hoping to cheer him up.

"You’re home now and that’s all that matters. Welcome back." Kamila said while kissing him again.

"Thanks." Lith knew that he sounded like a broken record, but his brain refused to work properly.

The thought that those might be the last moments they spent together made him feel as if someone was tearing his heart to shreds. Yet he managed to conquer his fears enough to use Invigoration on her, bringing Kamila back to her peak condition.

"Gods, thank you. We Constables could use a pot of Invigoration instead of that strong bitter tea we have to drink to stay up all night." She said with a chuckle.

Kamila had no idea that Lith had done it not only because he worried for her, but also so that once he told her about Solus, fatigue, and stress wouldn’t impair her judgment.

In a way, he was just covering his a.s.s.

After setting up another gravity array, the pleasant meal raised everyone’s spirits but aside from the kids, the mood was still heavy. Aran and Leria told Kamila all about their new Aunt and Uncles and how cool they looked, even conjuring some sketchy holograms of them.

"I’ll tell you everything after dinner." Lith answered the silent question in her eyes. "Now just relax and enjoy our meal."

After dinner, all that Kamila wanted to do was going to their room, listening to Lith’s story, and then cuddling themselves to sleep. She needed his warmth to dispel the horrors she had been forced to face in the last 24 hours.

Yet Lith insisted on taking a stroll in the Trawn woods and she respected his wish.

’Maybe he needs some privacy away from his parents or maybe he needs to show me something that doesn’t fit in the house.’ Kamila thought, not knowing that both of her guesses were right.

Lith showed her the same hologram of the events in Lightkeep he had projected earlier. Yet this time he showed the whole truth. Also, when the story arrived at the part where he had reached his violet core, he shapeshifted into his full Tiamat form and lifted her on the palm of his hand.

"This is how I really look like now. This is who I am." He said.

Kamila recognized the pain Lith’s voice had every time he revealed one of his secrets to her and he feared that she might turn her back to him because of that.

"Wow. You’re taller than most trees now. Aren’t you afraid that the Queen’s corps will spot you?" She tried to sound more excited than scared while she noticed not only the changes in his appearance, but also those in his personality.
