Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1460

Chapter 1460 - Royal Gala (Part 4)

"I'm really sorry, Headmaster." Lith gave him a small bow. "It's been a crazy year for me. So many things have happened that I could barely focus on my survival."

Marth was about to give him a snarky reply when Ryssa clutched his hand, sharing with him some of her Dryad mystical senses. Suddenly, the Headmaster of the White Griffon could feel the gloom that Lith hid behind his poker face.

There was no attraction between him and his date, only friendship. On top of that, Marth could sense that Lith's existence had become more majestic and yet more detached.

He was there yet he wasn't.

"Don't worry, kid. I'll forgive you as long as you help me to keep Manohar away from my child." Marth chuckled.

"Don't listen to him, junior. You and I will make a great team." The mad professor patted Ryssa's belly as if it was the shoulder of a friend.

"Say that again and I'll kill you." She said in anger. "People are starting to think that I've been unfaithful and that I bear your child!"

"Nonsense. Junior is not mine. We'll name them like that only to avoid confusion when we are both in the same room." While Vastor needed all of his considerable strength to hold Marth, Lith walked away with Faluel to check the room for potential allies.

Now that Mirim was dead, he needed to make sure that his relationship with the Mage Association and the Army wouldn't change.

"Oh, gods! White, is that really you?" Someone grabbed Lith's shoulder, forcing him to turn around.

The man in front of him was 22 years old, about 1.73 meters (5'8") tall with blond hair and deep green eyes. He had the build of a soldier rather than that of a noble and wore a uniform identical to Lith's but deep green, identifying him as a Great Mage.

He was accompanied by a stunning redhead that made Faluel pale in comparison and who looked at him with loving eyes.

"I beg your pardon?" Lith asked.

"It's me, Red! I can't believe we are meeting again like this."

"Who?" Lith racked his brain, but the only image that the word red conjured in his head was that of wine.

'For my Mom's sake! He's the student of the Fire Griffon who participated in the mission against Gadorf the Wyvern.' Solus said. Then after noticing that Lith still had no idea who she was talking about, she added:

'The guy who taught us about the importance of array detecting spells.' She also projected a flashback in his mind, just to stay on the safe side.

"Gods, you inspired me to the point that I worked my ass off to match your achievements whereas I was so insignificant to your eyes that you don't even remember me." Red sighed.

"Red, of course. You were the second saddle of Captain Yerna's team. Do I have to keep calling you Red or do you have an actual name?" Lith tried to make it sound like a joke, but not knowing a Great Mage's name was actually quite rude of him.

"Great Mage Linden Gorth, at your service." Red said while giving him a small bow. "This is Phrenna Gorth, my wife."

She gave Lith a curtsy to which he replied with a bow.

"Spellbreaker Archmage Lith Verhen, at your family's service and yours." Lith replied. "This is Faluel Metina Riseta Nyxdra, my date."
