Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1429

Chapter 1429 - Ins and Outs (Part 1)

Solus fell onto her knees, crying in humiliation. The people that she had dreamed to meet her whole life barely knew her name and yet they had already judged her, deeming her unworthy.

Solus turned to a shade of purple and so did all the lights in the tower.​​

Tista ran to her side, hugging Solus who clung to her and hid her face on Tista’s shoulder. Seeing the light of that small creature flicker with each one of her sobs, made the Verhen family feel deeply ashamed of their mindless outburst.

’If she’s not a homewrecker, I’ve just stepped all over that poor girl out of prejudice.’ Elina thought. ’If she is a homewrecker, instead, I’m playing into her hand and making her the victim. I must hold my tongue and trust my son.’

’I’m such an idiot.’ Raaz’s eyes moved from Lith to Solus, not knowing what to do. ’It’s no wonder Lith didn’t tell us earlier. He made everything he could to let us know how important this woman is to him and yet we’re treating her like crap.’

’Judging from her tears, the pain in Lith’s eyes, and Tista’s worry, I get the feeling that I’m going to kick my own a.s.s later.’ Rena thought. ’If Lith and Tista shut me out of their lives because of my big mouth, I’ll never forgive myself.’

The three of them could see that their reckless words and mistrust had added more suffering to the sadness that Lith already carried.

"I’m really sorry that you’ve got to endure all this, Solus, but I did warn you about what would happen once others discovered about you. Our relationship is baffling at best." He said while hugging and patting Solus in an attempt to console her.

"Yeah. The only silver lining is that at least everything is going according to your plan." She half sobbed and half cried in the arms of her friends.

The family felt now more than embarrassed by their behavior. Lith seemed to have predicted their reaction down to the smallest detail, making his choice of not introducing Solus to them before seem more than reasonable.

Both Lith and Solus had gone through many hardsh.i.p.s so if he expected her to receive a rough treatment all along, Lith was likely to have waited for the moment when the blow would hurt as little as possible.

Now that he was single, they couldn’t see Solus as a threat for Kamila, and due to her almost human appearance, they had treated Solus as a person instead of as a cursed relic attempting to manipulate their beloved Lith.

"Mom, Dad, Rena, the existence of a mage tower is already a world-breaking news but this is not only the tower of Menadion, it is also the home and body of my best friend.

"I didn’t introduce her to you earlier for more reasons than I can count. On top of that, words cannot express or explain the depth of our bond nor the uniqueness of our relationship." Lith said while helping Solus to stand up.

"Now, however, I know how to use mind links with anyone. I can show instead of telling and let you witness with your own eyes our shared past before casting any more rushed judgments."

Lith extended his right hand to Raaz and the left to Senton, while Solus held Tista with her left and offered her right hand to Elina.

They all exchanged looks for a few seconds before holding hands and forming a circle where Lith and Solus stood at the opposite sides to perfectly balance the mana flow.

Once again, they had to avoid both the sensory overload and the mana poisoning that a prolonged mind link might cause.

Once the projection was over, the members of Lith’s family found themselves crying, even Tista. She already knew Solus’s story, but she had never lived it before. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
