Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1534

Chapter 1534 Two Sides of the Same Pain Part 2

"I'm not just worried about your health, I'm also worried about your life." Kamila said while pointing at the much inferior magical defenses that the Myrok Household had compared to the Ernas.

Unbeknownst to both women, the house was just as secure.

The only reason why the Myrok lacked magical blood to the point of having mostly mages that had married in the family was that the members of the Myrok's bloodline with enough talent were passed to the Gernoff Household to be Awakened.

It kept their magical legacy rich and away from political struggles, giving them the time to grow without anyone nipping them in the bud. In exchange, the Gernoff protected the Myrok's household from the shadows.

"You received one of the Balkor cards and if the culprit keeps following the same pattern, you are their next target." Kamila said.

"I know, yet here I am." Jirni nodded.

"I don't get it. How could you let them do this to you? Didn't you tell the risks that sending you away implies?"

"I beg your pardon?" Jirni tilted her head, clinking the ice in her glass.

"I must admit that your actions deeply affected your family and caused them much suffering, but it's nothing compared to what Deirus might have done if he was still alive. Not to mention that without you, sooner or later Quylla would have really died." Kamila said.

"What's your point?"

"My point is that you did the wrong thing for the right reason. That albeit seemingly cruel and cold-hearted, you only did what was best for your family. You saved your daughter's life and eliminated a traitor of the country.

"It's impossible to argue with your results so I find it unbelievable that you are going to sign those documents without even putting up a fight." Kamila's passionate speech only made Jirni chuckle.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"Are you kidding me?" Jirni laughed heartily for the first time since she had staged Quylla's death in the Gardens of Saefel. "That's rich coming from you. How is my situation with Orion any different from that between you and Lith?"

Kamila turned pale, fearing that somehow she had betrayed any if not all of Lith's secrets while working along with the apparently omniscient Archon. She remained silent, praying to the gods to be wrong.

"I know the guy for long enough to know that he didn't cheat on you. Otherwise either your sister or my daughters would have skinned him alive. Hence the only possible explanation is that Lith kept a big secret from you.

"Something that once revealed, it broke the bond of trust you had with him. Since you neither resent nor blame him for that lie, he must have had some good reason. Yet here you are, after over three months from the revelation.

"Speaking with me instead of saying your goodbyes on the day when we both know he's going away to the Desert for the gods know how long. How does your concept of forgiveness work, exactly?

"Because as far as I know, you have yet to forgive him. If you can't do that after months, why should my husband do any different after less than two weeks?" Jirni asked, making Kamila turn to a shade of purple.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
