Chapter 1646 - Trouble In Paradise (Part 2)

'At least she got that right. You do eat for two.' Lith inwardly chuckled.

'Ha ha! Very funny. Why don't you try spending years trapped inside a stone form without any of your five senses? Then when you get out, we'll see if you won't indulge in a bit of food after a long day's work.' Solus said.

'Please, stay calm, Solus. Too much stress could hurt the baby.' Lith said while pretending to caress her womb while he actually pinched it.

'Tell this story to anyone and I'm going to kill you!'

The carriage quickly reached the inner rim of the city where a couple of guards attempted to stop them to search the vehicle and identify the passengers.

"Move away, dimwits! There's no time for this crap. This woman might lose her baby!" The umpteenth groan and Solus's genuine distress at those words made the guards move out of the way.

"Bring them straight to the hospital. Our colleagues will identify the man while the woman receives the necessary treatment." The senior officer said.

They couldn't leave their station nor communicate with others due to the dimensional sealing arrays. They just followed the carriage with their eyes, making sure it wasn't just a ruse.

"Thank you very much. I can do the rest on my own." Lith jumped out of the carriage while looking through the windows on the second floor of the nearby city hall with Life Vision, searching for an empty room.

"We couldn't come with you anyway." The woman sighed. "The food rations for the day won't deliver themselves and with all the soldiers on the walls, everyone must do their part to protect our city."

Lith gently took Solus between his arms, opening the door of the hospital with a kick while screaming:

"My wife needs a healer!" Loud enough for everyone to hear.

Yet he also opened a Warp Steps on the floor and placed a Hush spell in the corridor in front of him. The guards inside heard the yell muffled and thought it came from one of the hospital rooms.

Also, when Lith walked inside, he fell straight into the Steps. The door opening and closing on itself baffled the guards only for a second.

"I can't believe that people can't even close a door properly! We are soldiers, not butlers." The man looked outside, making sure there wasn't anyone who needed help, and gestured to his colleagues that were staring his way that everything was okay.

Meanwhile, Lith found himself in a storage room filled with stationery.

'How are you doing?' He asked while making sure with Life Vision that no one would disturb them.

'I've never felt so embarrassed my whole life but I'll get over it. Thank you for asking.' Solus checked her own flabby, soft belly and Lith's flat, well-toned abdomen.

The comparison only made her feel worse.

'I meant your energy reserves. You can only spend so much time in human form and I might need your help later.' Lith replied. 'Also, hands off the merchandise.'
