Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1779

Chapter 1779 - High Treason (Part 1)

"That's why I tried to reach you, Lith. Zinya and I wanted to invite you to our marriage." Vastor said.

"Wasn't it scheduled for mid-spring?" Lith was flabbergasted and so was Kamila who had to shut her own mouth with her hands in surprise.

"That was in times of peace. In war, there's not one moment to waste. If anything happens to me, I don't want to leave Zinya with nothing." Vastor said.

"How can something happen to you? You are one of the strongest mages I know." Even though Lith couldn't mention Vastor's Abomination powers or his Organization, everyone understood what he was talking about.

"Yes, and so is that fucker of Meln. He is fused with Night. He has a mage tower for a steed and killed one of the most powerful men I ever knew who had decades to hone his skills. At this point, I'm not certain of anything."

Vastor hinted at how both he and Lith had gained their powers recently and didn't have someone teaching them how to use them as Orpal did.

"I am leaving her my wealth and my magical legacy to you."

"That's insane, Vastor."

"Don't worry, Zinya agrees with me. You and I are very similar. I'm certain that you are the best-suited person to follow my line of research and help my children in case something happens to me." Vastor said.

"Also, you were the one who introduced me to the madwoman who is going to be my wife and who I hope will be crazy enough to stay by my side until my bitter end."

"Zinya is not mad." Lith replied. "She's a good woman who is going to marry a good man."

"A good man?" Vastor's voice held so much sarcasm that there was barely anymore left on Mogar. "Son, clearly you are as ignorant as she is. Zinya has no idea of what I have done as a Professor, a soldier, and even as a man."

He referred to his blatant favoritism for magical bloodlines at the academy, his war crimes as Highmaster, and the thousands of lives that he had sacrificed in the name of his research.

"I'm anything but good, yet here I am. I can't really have a fresh start with her as long as I keep hiding my bloody baggage behind a flimsy tent, but you can. Why don't you marry on the same date as me?

"You would save yourself a lot of money for the ceremony and the wedding banquet. My treat."

"And who should I marry, exactly?" Lith shrugged.

"Manohar told me about that short, plump, older girl you are hanging around with. Don't you already have a new girlfriend? I swear, I wouldn't have ever believed that I was your type." Vastor laughed at the joke, whereas Solus became beet red.

Being compared to Vastor was far from flattering.

"She's just a person I met in the Desert that now works with me." Lith said.

"Good!"

"How can me being single be a good thing?" Lith asked.

"It means that you can propose to Kamila. I've always liked that woman and Zinya would die of joy if she could marry along with her beloved sister. She planned a double wedding from the beginning. What do you say?" Now it was Kamila's turn to become beet red.

She knew that Zinya loved to meddle with her love life, but until that moment she had never understood how much.

'Now it makes sense why Zin kept me posted about Lith being hurt after Zeska, the date with Faluel, and everything else. I've been played all along and Elina helped her!' She thought.
