Chapter 1840: Final Steps (Part 2)

"That was a bold move, Athung, but when Raagu learns that you have gone over her head, she'll kill you." Feela said the moment the dimensional corridors closed behind them.

"Only if she reminds blinded by the old ways." The young woman replied. "This isn't a petty squabble over territory or in?uence. This is a battle for survival and a true warrior leaves their pride off the battle?eld.“

A few days after Quylla's complete recovery, village of Lutia.

Lith was walking along the streets of Lutia, visiting one shop after another to check their goods. Now that the peace in his hometown had been restored, he was eager to check if he could get more provisions without the need of traveling all over the Kingdom.

Wherever he went, envious gazes and whispered curses followed him It wasn't due to his tall and muscular body, his Archmage robe, or even the fact that bards all over the Country were writing songs about him.

Such matters would annoy nobles and those mages who thought of themselves as his rivals. The people of Lutia were much more simple-

minded and down to Mogar. What irked them to no end was the fact that he walked arm in arm with two women.

One was a bit older and much shorter than him, with long hair of a brown so light that it looked golden under the morning sun. The other woman seemed to be in her thirties, with shoulder-length light—brown hair with red shades all over that danced like ?ames every time she giggled. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

They both had a wonderful ?gures and with each stride they took they lightly swayed their hips, making heads turn.

"Damn, Royals sure must be different from our regular folks." One of the clerks of the fabric shop that Lith was visiting said.

"Yeah, I mean, clearly the King must have a harem of concubines as well, otherwise he wouldn't let his future son—in—law hang out with other women in public." The store owner replied.

"I don't get why women swarm Verhen like ?ies with honey. He got himself a Princess yet the handmaid and that hot piece of ass are all over him. Man, what I'd give to bring her in the storeroom and restock her—"

“lt's my mother you are talking about, jackass!" Lith's enhanced hearing had allowed him to hear such comments all morning and they had ground on his nerves.

Most new citizens of Lutia had never seen the whole Verhen family assembled and still mistook Elina for Lith's sister and sometimes even for his date.

The two men froze in panic when they realized that despite the considerable distance, Lith had overheard their words and was so pissed off that the violet light in his eyes was perfectly visible despite the sun.

"What were they saying to upset you so much, dear?" Elina asked.

“They were... making rude comments on your physical appearance and what would they do if you were to give them a moment of your time in private." Lith replied while avoiding looking her in the eyes in embarrassment.

“They think that we're together and that I'm hot?" Elina chuckled.

"Mom!" Like most sons, Lith didn't like that word applied to his mother, let alone referring to her as such.

"There's no need to be angry, sweetie." She kissed his cheek,

embarrassing him even further. "lt's ?attering for a woman my age."

Lith snarled in reply and brought a few rolls of fabric to the counter,

his eyes still alight.

"How much for this?" He asked while glaring at Elina's suitor who was about his age.
