Chapter 2017 Voidfeather Armor (Part 1)

"Don't you dare say that." Kamila's rage disappeared like snow under the summer sun. "Without you, Zinya would still be blind. She would have never met Zogar and by now Fallmug would have beaten her to death while all I could do was grieve her loss.

"I would still be a low-level bureaucrat, with no life, no family, and plenty of regrets. You've done more than putting me into danger, Lith Verhen. You have given me hope, purpose, and a place where I belong. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

"I don't regret for one moment coming to the Desert and proposing to you. I'm sorry for what I said." She sat in front of him, taking his face into her hands.

"And I'm sorry for questioning our marriage first. That was a dick move." Lith took her hands between his, kissing her palms.

"You can say that." Kamila sighed. "Now that we have both calmed down, can you please tell me why you don't trust me?"

"What do you mean?" He asked in bewilderment.

"Lith, I've lost count of the times that you asked me to wait for you while you went risking your life somewhere far away from me. Of the days I spent keeping my communicator close, praying that nothing happened to you.

"The one time that our roles are reversed, you try to put a leash on my neck and treat me like an idiot. How else am I supposed to explain your behavior if not as a lack of trust in my judgment and capabilities?" She asked.

"That's not true! I shared with you every one of my secrets. I revealed my hybrid nature to you before I told my parents. I literally trusted you with my life until now and I still do." He replied.

"Then why can't you trust me with my own?" Kamila said, leaving Lith speechless.

"Because I'm afraid of losing you." He said after a while.

"And I you." She drew him closer in a tender embrace. "Yet I've never let my fear keep you from doing what I know is right. I'm only asking you to do the same."

"Do I have any chance to convince you to wait until after the Magus ceremony?" Lith's shoulders slouched in resignation as he returned the embrace.

"Nope." Kamila replied, giving him a make up kiss.

"Fine. Then I guess I have even more work to do." Lith exhaled sharply while extending his hand. "I can't let you go alone behind the enemy lines with that old junk you wear."

Kamila still used the Scalewalker armor that Lith had gifted her back when he was just her boyfriend. It was made out of Orichalcum and grafted with blue mana crystals.

It offered better protection than the regular Constable uniform, but it was nothing compared to the Voidwalker armor. Lith had developed them after they had broken up so she had never had the opportunity to receive the upgraded version.

"Wow. Smooth move, mister Forgemaster." She chuckled. "But it's not enough to get me undressed after such an ugly fight. You need to put way more effort than that and be romantic."

Only then did Lith remember that if Kamila took her armor off, she would be stark naked.

"That's not what I meant." He chuckled as well. "Besides, it's too late for angry sex and I'm not in the mood for cuddles. I just want to get you geared up as soon as I can."

"Oh, really?" Kamila replied, making the armor slip off of her body and onto the ground in an orderly pile of metal. "I think this is the perfect time for cuddles, instead. Otherwise those mean words will be stuck in our heads for days."
