Quylla stayed at the tower during her recovery, in order for Lith,
Solus, or Faluel to administer her any treatment she might require.
Jirni and Orion were pissed off at the idea that she had gone away with Morok without warning them. A couple staying away for several days and nights could only mean one thing and it scared even Jirni to death.
Morok knew that she was with Lith, but he was pissed off anyway.
Quylla couldn't tell him where she was nor was he allowed to visit her Seeing her so weak and emaciated, her voice reduced to a whisper,
squeezed his heart in a vise.
"Why did you go to Lith for your Awakening? I'm a self—Awakened as well and I'm your boyfriend. Why do you still prefer him over me?"
Morok asked in outrage.
"Well, maybe she had developed a better taste for men." Friya said in the communication amulet. "Also, if you had seen Lith naked like we did, you wouldn't ask such—"
"Give that to me!" Quylla found the strength to retrieve the amulet from her sister's hands as her face ?ushed.
"Did you really see him naked?" Morok asked with an ashen face.
"Yes. l mean no. It was just a stupid joke and he wore pants—“
"Tight pants." Friya exploited Quylla's weakness, taking hold of the amulet again. “And I saw how you stared at the bulg-"
"l don't care for that." Morok shook his head. "Sometimes I look at your chest as well, but it means nothing. The important is that Lith didn't see you naked."
"About that—" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Friya! l'm going to fucking murder you!" Quylla jumped out of her bed as everything spiraled out of control.
Meanwhile, in the Royal Castle, King Meron and Queen Sylpha received the ?rst visit from the representatives of the Awakened Council since the days when Valeron still ruled the Griffon Kingdom.
Or better, one representative.
Feela the Behemoth had been tasked with mediating a deal with the Royals so that they would join their forces with the Council and ?ght Thrud together. After losing so many elders, the Awakened hadn't much of a choice left.
The other representatives weren't interested in wasting their time with ants so the moment Feela had volunteered, they had given her their blessing no questions asked. They had no idea that Athung Soranot had followed her.
"l'm Feela. The representative of the Awakened Beasts in the Council and she's Athung, the human representative." The two Awakened gave the Royals a small bow but they didn't kneel.
The Royal couple retumed to bow, sitting on normal chairs at the same eye level as their guests. Status and etiquette were irrelevant when dealing with the Council.
"lt's an honor having you here, Lady Feela." Meron said with a polite nod. "No offense, but have the Council's standards changed? Your colleague looks a bit young for the role."
He actually meant weak. Meron could see with Life Vision that Athung was close to reaching the violet, but her core was bright blue nonetheless.
"They have." Athung replied. "ln times like these, we can't allow outdated customs to stand in the way of survival."
Feela looked at her in admiration, hoping that the youth's gall wouldn't prove to be her downfall once Raagu learned about her actions.
"Tell us what you had in mind for our alliance." Queen Sylpha said,
