Chapter 1901 Three is a Crowd (Part 3)

"What's important is that you've recognized your mistakes." Lith said. "Now the question is, do you think you can conquer your fears for Dad's sake?"

"I have to." Trion replied. "I owe Dad that much. I'm tired of being the black sheep of the family. They don't need a second Orpal."

"Meln." Solus corrected him.

"Right. Have a nice dinner." Trion disappeared in Lith's shadow, but the mood remained gloomy for a while.

Then, the peaceful night's breeze and Solus' love for sweets overwhelmed her worries and she went back to being a famished troll, hogging all the cookies.

The three of them took a stroll on the beach, with Solus between Lith and Kamila. She avoided taking Lith's other hand to show her confidence in herself and in their relationship.

Solus wondered if she would have been able to do the same while also feeling like a child holding her parents' hands.

"I guess this is a goodbye." Solus dragged the sand in front of the tower with one of her feet.

"See you in two days." Kamila waved her hand, eager to get some alone time after such a tiring day.

"Are you still having nightmares?" Lith asked.

"Yes." Solus had a dejected look on her face. "I hate the night. It's when I'm left alone with all the ghosts that haunt this tower. I'm supposed to love it since it's part of my mother's legacy, but it's also the place where my friends and I died.

"Sleeping in there is creepy."

"Then why don't you sleep in your own private quarters?" Kamila asked.

"Because with Lith away, I can't regain my strength. Without him, I can't work nor get too far away from the tower because every bit of energy I lose is gone until I get near him.

"Keeping my human body takes a lot of energy and the tower is still heavily damaged." _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

She stared at Kamila with the longing eyes of a puppy abandoned on a sidewalk.

'Why did I ask?' Kamila inwardly kicked herself.

"Do you want to stay the night?" She actually said.

"Yes!" Solus nodded and then bolted inside the house before Kamila could change her mind.

Lith was shocked by her generosity, but even then, he couldn't have predicted how the events would unfold.

Solus shapeshifted her evening dress into loose pajamas and went to the guest room after wishing them a good night.

"Thanks." Lith said after closing the door of their bedroom. "You have no idea how much this means to Solus and me."

"Sure, just don't make it a habit." Kamila sighed. "Gods, those sad eyes should be banned as tier one Forbidden Magic. I made the rules just a few hours ago and I was the first to break them."

"Still, I admire you for your compassion." Lith said with a warm smile. "Bytra's revelations left a deep trauma on Solus. Those events may date back 700 years ago, but it's yesterday for her."

"Sure." She said with an unconvinced tone. "Let's get to sleep. I can't wait for this day to be over."

"Wouldn't you like to-"
