Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1985

Chapter 1985: Tower Core (Part 1)

The rest of the crew had their respective jaw dropping, Solus included. Lith had always been adamant about not having children of his own. Only Salaark didn't even flinch at the news.

Quite the contrary, she seemed to be completely uninterested.

"Yes, Mom." Lith was glad to see his father's radiant smile and not shivering at the physical contact like usual. "It's a decision we both agreed on after a thorough discussion."

"Bless that woman's heart." Elina jumped with joy. "I'm so happy at the idea that you'll finally give me a grandchild that I won't even scold you for calling your little sister a burden."

She took Lith's hand and placed it over her womb.

"My little sister?" Lith echoed in a stupor. "How?"

"Lith, dear, when two adults really love each other…" Elina burst into a peal of laughter before finishing the phrase.

"I know that, Mom!" He turned into a shade of purple in embarrassment. "I meant, how do you know? We are here for barely a month. It's too soon."

She pointed at Salaark who clicked her tongue.

"Guardian senses, you moron. Do you really think that I can fail to perceive someone of my blood who lives under my roof?"

Lith first thought was about the unspeakable act that had happened under his roof. The second was about all the problems that his little sister would have. The third and last that eclipsed the other two was pure joy.

"Good gods, congratulations Mom and Dad!" He hugged them both before using Invigoration on Elina and looking for the spark of life inside of her.

It was so small that he wouldn't have noticed it without an accurate scan of her womb.

"We could make a club." Elina chucked. "There's me, Salaark, and Selia. Tista, dear-"

"Mom!" A shrill shriek cut her short as Tista flushed up to her ears.

"Why such a reaction?" Elina furrowed her brows. "I was just about to say that now that Lith is happily married, we need to find someone for you. Don't tell me that you are…"

She looked at Salaark with eyes full of hope, but the Overlord shook her head.

"Stop it, Mom!" Tista suddenly felt cornered. She was the only member of the family still single and now everyone would nag at her at every family reunion.

"Have you already picked the name?" Faluel asked.

"No more names starting with L." Elina said. "Things are starting to get confusing at home so we were thinking of naming her after Salaark."

"It would be my honor." The Guardian said. "Still, I partially agree with Lith. Having a child during such times is a bold move, almost reckless."

"Not really." Elina shrugged. "Worst case scenario, I wouldn't mind moving our family to the Desert. You have been a wonderful host and even though we are not really blood related, you have treated all of us as your own.

"Also, it didn't happen on purpose. I simply noticed how Kamila had managed to turn Lith from a moping wreck into a new man and I decided to give her method a go."

"Mom!" Now it was Lith's turn to blush.
