Chapter 1816: Void and Undeath (Part 2)

"You dismiss people without even giving them a chance because in y our head you are only looking for husband material. That's the worst w ay possible to search for a partner.

"lt doesn't matter how someone looks on paper, but how they behave w hen you really need them. You heard Surtr. If you keep acting like t his, you'll end up like Faluel."

"Let's say you are right. What should l do?“ Tista asked.

"Either you go talking with the Phoenix guy or you call Bodya. If he l ikes you, he'll ?nd the time to come here." Nyka shrugged.

"Fine." Tista sighed, taking out her Council amulet. "Let's hope that w hat they say about the demon you know it's true."

Ten minutes later, Bodya was there.

A few days after Solus' birthday Lith received two calls. One was from Peonia who updated him about the situation in the Kingdom and a sked him to be her partner for a gala. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Despite the famine and the war, social events were still of the utmost i mportance to test the political waters and to feel the shifts in the a lliance among the members of the Royal Court.

Lith found no joy in being showcased like an exotic beast, but he had t o humor the Princess and make sure that she had all the aces in the h ole she needed to protect the peace of his home.

Peonia was charming and lovely as always, ending the call with an i nvitation to visit her any time he wanted.

The second was from Faluel who summoned him to her lair.

"Thanks for coming so quickly." The Hydra said once Lith, Tista, and Solus arrived. "As soon as Friya joins us, we are going to meet the Council. Solus, go back into the ring unless you want to reveal your e xistence to the world"

"Now?" Lith asked in surprise while Solus’ body turned into light and d isappeared. "What about etiquette, armor, and everything else."

“This isn't a parade like the time your bloodline was revealed. This is a s ummon for of?cial matters, like when I had to debate with Raagu a bout who was more suited to be your mentor.“ Faluel shook her h ead.

"Why is Friya coming, then?" Solus asked.

"Because she's my apprentice just like Tista is yours. They have r esponsibilities as well." Faluel replied.

Lith had several questions, but he doubted that Faluel could answer t hem and there was no point asking them multiple times. Much to his s urprise, Friya came accompanied by Phloria and Quylla.

"What is she doing here?“ Faluel pointed at the youngest of the Ernas.

"You can't summon my friends and sisters and leave me behind. I'm a t rue mage and a part of this group!" Quylla said in anger.

"You are a brilliant mage, but you are still a weakling. There's no place f or you in Council matters.“ Faluel shook her head. "To make matters w orse, if they discover that you are learning Light Mastery on your o wn, they won't hesitate to kidnap you and extort the knowledge f rom you.
