Chapter 1569 - Calling Card (Part 1)

"We'll see if you still find it sweet when you have a child of your own or when Manohar discovers that that the children of the Verhen household can already project holograms." Marth said with a smug grin.

"How do you know about that?" Lith's heart skipped a beat.

"Kids like to banter. Aran showed his skills to Frey, who in turn told 'Uncle' Zogar about it when he visited Zinya. Vastor in turn told me and we'll do our best to keep Manohar in the dark, but you need to be more careful."

"If the Queen's Corps learns about you teaching Light Mastery to the members of your family, the efforts of the Royals to put a leash on your neck will only get worse, especially now that you are single." Marth said. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"Thanks for the advice. How is it going at the White Griffon?" Lith asked.

"Ryssa can't wait for the child to be born and the security is as tight as it can. I don't want to make you worry, but there have been several break ins in the academy. If not for its powerful defensive mechanisms, people like Wanemyre might have been killed."

"What? How?" Lith sent cold shivers running down his spine.

"They all entered through the forest since our Gate is sealed. It took them a considerable amount of skill to avoid being detected by the arrays, yet they managed to escape our notice until it was too late.

"We only find them when they are dead." Marth sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"The uniforms, remember? The White Griffon perceives whoever doesn't wear one as an intruder and it sucks their life away the moment they cast a spell." Marth referred to the peculiar ability that only the six great academies had.

Not only did they feed upon a mana geyser to sustain their power core, but they also drew their strength from the students. With each spell they cast, the academy would take a little bit of their energy to feed itself.

Intruders, however, would be swallowed whole, keeping anyone without an imprinted uniform from being a threat to the people inside an academy.

"Because of that, we never managed to capture and interrogate one of them. I'm afraid that this is just the calm before the storm. It's only a matter of time before someone who has received a Balkor card slips up and the bastard makes their move again."

Griffon Kingdom, City of Belius, a few days after Lith left for the Desert.

Almost a week had passed since the last time Constable Kamila Yehval had been at her apartment. After learning about Solus's existence and breaking up with Lith, she had spent most of her free time at Lutia, in Zinya's home.

Her work, instead, now kept her away from the military city since, as Jirni's assistant, Kamila had to accompany her wherever a crime that required her attention took place.
