Chapter 1841: Brothers at Arms (Part 1)

Lith, Solus, and Elina walked slowly toward their destination. They enjoyed the noises of the bustling city and the warmth of the sun that shrugged off the coldness that haunted them inside.

Yet the brightest light always cast the deepest shadows and many of them were following Lith from far away enough to not let even his inhuman senses notice them.

***

City of Belius, about the same time.

Kamila Yehval stared at her sorry ?gure in the mirror, taking deep breaths in a futile attempt to calm down. She had deep bags under her eyes from the lack of sleep, she was covered in sweat, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Yet she wasn't back from a deadly mission nor had she been forced to work a triple shift. It was her birthday and she had taken a leave of a few days to recover from fatigue and celebrate the anniversary with her sister.

What had reduced her like that was simply stress.

The idea of meeting Lith again and giving him the ?nal answer about their relationship that she had withheld since the clay she had run away from the tower was driving her insane.

She had spent the days after talking with Zinya questioning her relationship with him and pondering if breaking up had been a mistake on her part.

"Calm down, dammit.“ She said to the mirror. "We just have to go there and tell him that we don't mind Solus. That she's just another of those hot women he always hangs out with." She said the last part with a snarl.

“Note to self, don't snarl. This way, with a little luck, everything will go back to the way it was and we'll spend my birthday together with our families reunited for the event.“ She had already made the dinner reservation, she only needed to hear Lith's answer before inviting her guests.

"Worst case scenario, even if things between us don't work because of the forced ‘threesome’, I can always break up with Lith again. I'd still have a job to return to and Zinya's family as a shoulder to cry on.

“This isn't a matter of life and death. I just have to be strong and give ourselves a chance." The idea of another break-up actually terri?ed Kamila, but after spending so much time with Lith, she didn't feel safe without at least one contingency plan at the ready.

Three more rehearsals and two showers later, she Warped out of the barn of the Verhen house.

“Aunt Kami! I missed you!" Aran galloped to her with Onyx.

"Happy birthday Auntie!" Leria said, looking at him with an air of superiority for forgetting about the date.

"You remembered! You're the smartest and the cutest girl of the Kingdom, Leria." Kamila hugged the kids, kissing their foreheads while Aran rushed to make up for his blunder.

"Happy birthday, Kamila." Raaz inwardly thanked Leria since he had forgotten about it as well. "What brings you here?“

"I need to speak with Lith for a moment. Is he home or at the lab?"

She asked while looking around.

The security had de?nitely improved. Since the day Orpal had declared his intentions, the kings of the woods watched the house,

never letting the kids out of their sight.

The magical arrays around them emitted such dense energy that Kamila could feel the hair on her neck stand up.

"Neither. He's at Lutia with Elina and Solus." Raaz replied.

"Oh." Kamila looked at her lucky clothes and her shoes, unsuited for the thirty minutes walk that it would've taken her to reach the city.
