Chapter 1474 Lights Out Part 2

"How cute!" Quylla giggled. "Look at how he tries to act all Faluel-ish."

"Yeah. I’m sorry, Lith, but you’d look horrible in a dress." Friya said with a laugh. "What about your "leave me alone with my pain" routine?"

"Okay, fine! I’m sorry for having been so distant lately." He gave them a bow.

"Distant and rude." Tista said.

"And self-centered." Faluel added.

"And a sourpuss." Phloria said.

"And uncaring." Friya added.

"And-"

"And thank you very much for putting up with me for so long." Lith cut Quylla short, not wanting to hear any more about the flaws he was well aware to have.

’Thank you so much, Solus. I never took you for granted, but that doesn’t mean that I always appreciate enough how your presence in my life is often my last line of defense against myself.’ He said via their mind link.

’You are welcome. Thanks for dancing with me tonight.’ Solus replied, taking another involuntary stab at his heart.

It had been Phloria to have the idea, not him.

’I promise we’ll have our scaled-down gala so that you can do more than cover someone else’s gloves, okay?’

’Okay, but not now.’ Solus replied. ’You’re still too hurt to be happy and I want the gala to be something we both enjoy, not a form of torture for you.’

Once again, Lith noticed how the most important people in his life, like Kamila and Solus, put his feelings in front of their own, whereas he mostly cared for himself.

’Deal.’ He said, knowing that more apologies would have made things even more awkward.

"Mom, now that the gala is over, can we show Lith the Gardens of Saefel? Before leaving Valeron?" Phloria asked.

"Absolutely not!" Jirni replied. "It’s night and it’s still too dangerous."

"Come on, Mom." Quylla said. "We’ve been prisoners inside our own home for months. The Queen beat Deirus to a pulp, the Crown destroyed his political power, and Valeron is the safest city in the Kingdom."

"That’s exactly the reason why this is the perfect moment and place for an ambush. Power doesn’t fade in an instant. Deirus might have staged something with the resources he had before his downfall for the moment when we lower our guard." Jirni said.

"Come on, dear. There’s me, you, Lith, and the arrays. The girls have been begging me to go outside in the garden for months. Don’t be the Lith of the situation and let them celebrate our victory." Orion said.

"But-"

"Please, Mom. Just for the time to give Lith a tour." Friya cut her short.

"I’ve been to Valeron countless times. What makes you so sure I never visited the Gardens?" Lith felt annoyed by their words.

"Because they hold no power nor knowledge, only beauty." The Dolby Surround reply irked him to no end, especially because they were right.

"Fine!" Both he and Jirni inhaled sharply, hating being outnumbered.

Statues and topiaries of the First Queen were everywhere. She was either depicted with the First King or with their children. It took Lith just a glance to understand that only a man deeply in love like Valeron could have made such a thing. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
