Chapter 1908 The Light Before the Darkness (Part 2)

'When a monster like me finds their Orion, they must sink teeth and nails in and never let go. The Kingdom threw their cards into the gutter and I'll be damned before I break my word.' Jirni thought every time someone questioned her competence.

To make matters even worse, her domestic situation wasn't good.

Orion was rarely at home. He was too busy working with Vastor and Balkor on her private project, sharing the knowledge of the Royal Forgemasters with the Council, and serving as General of the Army.

As for her daughters, they were livid both at Lith and Jirni.

"I can't believe that he married without even inviting us!" Friya said. "After all we went through together, we had to learna about it from Faluel!"

The news of Kamila's defection had made them happy but also hurt their feelings.

"Lith has no communication amulet anymore. Also, if all three of you disappeared at the same time, even an idiot would have guessed where you had gone. On your return, you would have found a charge for high treason waiting for you.

"Lith did it to protect you." Jirni replied.

"You knew?" Phloria was flabbergasted and the most outraged among the Ernas sisters.

She had given up on the idea of getting back with Lith for some time, but getting cut off from such an important moment of his life still hurt.

"Of course I did. Only someone blind, dumb, and deaf would've failed to notice how much effort Kamila put into foiling Morn's decree. Someone like the Royals." Jirni chuckled, further offending her daughters since they hadn't seen it coming as well.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that as soon as the situation calms down, Lith will hold a second ceremony for his friends. After all, you weren't the only one left out." She shrugged at their glares.

Faluel was pretty pissed off as well, but not as much as Feela. She had hoped to get her hands on Lith's genes by exploiting his difficult situation but the opportunity was now gone.

Jirni hadn't gotten a full night's sleep for weeks, overworking until she could feel her body giving up. She had done everything she could to uphold the promise she had made Lith, even at the cost of spreading her energy thin.

That night, things went from bad to worse.

"Are you sure about that, Dyta?" Jirni asked her cousin while walking towards the nearest Warp Gate.

"I'm positive. I've already contacted Vastor and Marth and they did the best they could. I'm sorry, Jirni, but your mother has a few hours left to live at most." Dyta Myrok replied. "She has refused to be moved to the White Griffon.

"Aunt Oblia says that she'd rather die where she was born. You know how stubborn she can be."

"It runs in the family." Jirni sighed, rubbing her eyes to shrug off the fatigue that blurred them.

'Mom has been sickly from birth. Her life force was born twisted and if not for the best healers of the Kingdom treating her symptoms, she would have died decades ago.

'It's not just Phila, the house staff is relaxed. There is no noise of steps coming and going from Mom's room, no trace of healers, none of her so-called friends weeping for her, nothing.' Then, she noticed that the hair on her neck wasn't standing up. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
