Chapter 1746 - Unknown Threat (Part 2)

"Please?" Elina took her hand, making Kamila feel cornered.

She looked at Lith, hoping for a way out.

"Please?" He rerepeated and his sad eyes became the final nail in the coffin of her determination.

"I'd love to dine with you. See you later, kids." She walked in front of Solus, extending her a hand. "Nice to meet you in person, Solus. You look great."

"Thanks, you too." Solus felt the awkwardness in Kamila's voice, yet her grip was firm and so was her gaze.

For a moment, Solus felt like a boxer studying her opponent on the ring right before the sound of the gong. Then, Kamila let go of her hand, put on her coat, and walked out the door quickly followed by Lith.

She had several comments about how pretty Solus was and even more questions about how her relationship with Lith had evolved since his so-called partner had regained her human body, but after seeing Lith so glum, Kamila put everything aside.

"How is your work as a Constable going?" He asked.

"It was already bad when I was Jirni's assistant, but now that she's gone on her second honeymoon it's a nightmare. I'm swamped in so many reports and so much paperwork that I need overtime just to deal with the daily activities.

"It's over one week since I haven't worked in the field but it feels like years. I swear, if Thrud attacks, I'm confident that we can defeat her army simply by drowning them in the paperwork that the war preparations require.

"They sure work on me." She chuckled while showing Lith the many paper cuts on her fingers. "What about you?"

"It's easier if I show you rather than tell you, especially because the members of the Queen's Corps are around." He said, offering his hand to her.

"Go for it." The moment Kamila touched him, the mind link showed her everything that had happened in Zeska, from Lith's demoting Pelan to the fight with the Black Dragon.

Kamila was terrified seeing the power of the Divine Beast and his Harbinger, seeing not only Lith's battle, but also Solus'. Witnessing the Void Flames and Locrias' Demon joining the fray made everything even more scary.

Yet Lith didn't stop there and also showed her the meeting with Silverwing and the events in Faluel's mines. He wanted her to realize how deep Thrud's web of connections was and to get rid of everything left unsaid between them.

The mind link ended with Ekidna's death that made Kamila cry a bit.

"Poor girl. She lived all of her life as a slave. I can't even imagine how she must have felt knowing that her destiny was in the hands of a bunch of strangers who only saw her as an asset. Not even a monster deserves such a cruel fate." She said.

"I'm supposed to know it better than anyone else since it's what Solus went through until she was forced to bond with me. What she goes through every time someone like Silverwing discovers the existence of the tower or that I risk my life.

"Yet I'm such an asshole that when Ekidna died I was only saddened by the loss of the opportunity to study her bloodline abilities. What's wrong with me?" He asked while looking at Kamila in the eyes.

'Even though Elina lied through her teeth.' She actually thought.
