Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1922

"I know, but I didn't expect everyone would follow." Kamila slumped her shoulders. "Having the kids and other women here is one thing, having men is another. I know that it's stupid, but I hate the idea of being the less attractive woman."

"That's not true, you are the most beautiful woman on Mogar." Lith gave her a soft kiss as his wings unfolded, wrapping around her in an embrace.

It was something that happened every time he held her. At first, it had creeped her out a bit because the membranous wings were weird to the touch. Then, Kamila had realized that it was something he did only for her.

Lith's wings didn't react to Salaark, Elina, and not even Solus. Kamila considered it their own thing and it made her feel special.

"Also, I'm not the only one." Lith chuckled, using an air magic spell to carry the words of a distant conversation so that she could also hear it.

"Man, I never thought that an undead could have a massive headache." Trion's voice said. "Thank the gods I'm flat down there or things would get awkward."

"Between Solus, Kamila and Salaark, I don't know where to look." Trion said.

"You and me both, brother." Senton replied. "Sometimes I freeze up, staring at them and Tista like a moron. My only hope is that they haven't noticed."

"Dude, that's gross! She's my sister!" Trion made a retching sound.

"She may be your sister, but she's still a hot woman!" Senton replied. "I consider Elina like a mother whereas I've never-"

At that point, Lith cut the spell off.

"One more word and I can't pretend that I'm not listening to them anymore. I'd need to explain Rena why I'm killing her husband." Lith said with a sigh.

"The troubles of Awakened hearing?" Kamila giggled.

"More like a Tiamat's. If Tista hears him, Rena will kill Senton for me. Fingers crossed."

A few days later, Lith received a call on his Council amulet.

He was expecting one of the usual calls from Feela or Faluel to update him about the War of the Griffons, but the rune belonged to Xenagrosh instead.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Before you left Dad's home you said that we needed to talk about what happened between Bytra and Elphyn." The Shadow Dragon replied, hurt by the coldness of his voice. "I was hoping that after your marriage and all this time, you would have softened a bit."

"You see, Xenagrosh-"

"Please, I told you to call me Zoreth." She cut him short.

"You see, Xenagrosh, I have softened up but Solus still has nightmares. She still cries every night when the images of your wife's horn piercing through her chest and slaughtering her friends flash in front of her eyes." Lith ignored her plea.

"I have nothing against you but a lot against Bytra. Forgiving her is not up to me and you can rest assured that I don't want to see either of you until Solus feels ready."

"Can you ask her for a meeting, then?" Xenagrosh replied. "Bytra has many things that she wants to tell Solus and I to you. With all that happened with the Kingdom, family should stick together."

"Family doesn't murder family. Meln and Bytra are perfect examples of bad apples that must be brought away from the tree to not make it rot." Lith said.

"Don't you dare to compare my wife with that disgusting man!" From her outraged voice, Lith understood to have crossed a line he shouldn't have. "You are not talking about the old Bytra.
