Chapter 1882 Welcome Home (Part 2)

It took him but a second to snap out of it, kneeling to her level while pushing the Camellia away.

"Are you insane? Everyone knows that I'm not human. The Royals have the bat, the ball, and make the rules, whatever they sayF goes, goes. You, instead, would be branded as a traitor.

"You'll lose your job, you'll never meet Zinya again, and everyone will consider you a freak who chose to marry a monster. You have made too many sacrifices and went through too many dangers to throw everything away on a whim.

"My family has already lost everything because of me. I can't bear the thought of you following us in our misery." Lith said.

"You are right. It's my life and I'm free to do whatever I want with it." Kamila replied, offering him the Camellia again. "I'm aware of the consequences that my choice entails but I came here anyway.

"As for Zinya, I met with her before going to the capitol and she gave me her blessing. Back at the Flying Griffon, I told you that I don't care if you are a human, a vengeful spirit, or a Demon from the Abyss.

"I love you, Lith Verhen. I want to be part of your life and your family, no matter the cost. Now please, answer my question, because I don't think I'll have the courage to propose for a third time.

"Will you marry me?"

Lith touched the Camellia and saw with Invigoration that it had never lost its imprint. Every single day that Kamila recharged it with her mana left a trace, like one drop of water that after accumulating for years had formed a lake.

He couldn't believe that after over four months, after everything that Kamila had learned about him, she had never lost her faith in him, no matter what the rest of Mogar thought or how they branded him.

That a brilliant, amazing woman still found something worth loving in that pile of danger and suffering that his life was. Kamila's love wasn't out of a mystical bond, blood, or common interest.

It was pure and unconditional.

Just like at the Flying Griffon, he could tell from her heartbeat, scent, and perspiration that she was completely honest. It wasn't a trick, mind manipulation, or a ruse to exploit his feelings.

The only emotions that Kamila exuded were excitement for the situation and fear of being rejected.

Moved by her feelings, Lith stopped caring about what was the right or the most convenient thing to do and focused solely on his own happiness.

"Yes, I will. I love you, Kamila Yehval." He took the Camellia from her hands, before wrapping his arms around her and kissing her.

The four wings popped out of his back, enveloping her as well. They formed a cocoon that wasn't meant to trap her, but to protect her. It was Lith's arms that hugged Kamila, but it was Derek's wings that wrapped around her.

The innermost part of the Void had stopped resisting the integration with the other life forces.

Then, as joy spread throughout his body, Lith felt his mana core stirring once again. All the energy that until that moment had been used to keep the Void in check was now free to burst out.

By believing in something more than cold logic, by accepting something nonsensical as love and reciprocating it, Lith had also given himself a chance to be complete.

The chain of grief and pain that he still carried since the day of Carl's death shattered, moving into Kamila's body without her even noticing.
