Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1895

Chapter 1895 Lith’s First (Part 1)

"By the way, there's still one thing that I really need to ask you." Lith said while Kamila was still chuckling at the joke.

"What is it?"

"What are your thoughts about children?" Those words made her blood flush and her drowsiness disappear.

"I thought you were adamant about not having any." She looked him straight in the eyes to make sure it wasn't just another joke.

"I was and I am, but I haven't forgotten how many times you mentioned it in the past. This is not just my decision anymore, it's our decision." He said, making Kamila's heart race. "Also, I'm an Awakened whereas you are twenty-eight and human…"

"Since when did the age gap bother you?" She asked.

"It doesn't. I just mean that time flows differently for us." Being reminded of her mortality smothered Kamila's enthusiasm, but not by much.

As for Lith, considering his first life he was actually 45 years old. He had spent the first 26 completely alone, shut inside himself without ever letting anyone in. After coming to Mogar, however, family wasn't an f-word anymore.

Elina and Raaz had proved to him that loving parents did exist. On top of that, after spending so much time with the kids and after Kamila had proposed to him, Lith wasn't afraid to be a terrible father anymore.

The shadow of Ezio McCoy, his Earth father and the first man that Lith had killed, didn't haunt his thoughts anymore and he was now certain that nothing of that monster would be passed down to the next generation.

When Kamila was with him, Lith felt like anything was possible.

"I'd really love to have children." She replied. "A boy and a girl. Not necessarily in this order but surely not together."

The thought of having twins or triplets like Rena sent a cold shiver down her spine.

"I'm already scared of becoming a mother for the first time, let alone having more than one child."

"I feel a 'but' incoming." Lith said.

"But not now." Kamila continued. "I'm unemployed and so are you. We have no real home, we are just Salaark's guests. We have no plan for the future, only what your Grandma is willing to lend us and only as long as she is willing to.

"Until we decide whether we are going to live in the Desert or go back to the Kingdom, as long as we don't make something out of our lives, having a child would only increase our burden.

"I want to give them the stability, the love, and the home that I never had."

"So do I." Lith said, puzzling her quite a bit.

"On top of that, if we decided to have a child, they would be born with a target on their back. Meln would do everything he could to destroy our happiness." Kamila replied.

"I would like to see him try." Lith wrapped her in his arms while projecting the hologram of Salaark, Tyris, and Leegaain taking the oath to protect Lith's firstborn and the woman who would carry them.

"He may be less stupid than before and Night might be nigh-immortal, but I don't see them surviving a clash with the three Guardians of Garlen. Heck, I'm not ashamed to say that the worst I could do to him pales in comparison with what Grandma would do to Meln in one minute."
