Chapter 2074 Past Grudge (Part 2)

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Jirni smiled and stepped forward, taking Nalrond by the arm. "Let's take things slowly. Start by telling me how you two met."

The Rezar looked at Friya and whimpered, having no idea how much he was allowed to say. He lived in a sheltered environment where everyone knew everything about each other whereas Lith's world was utterly confusing.

There were people who knew only a part of his secrets and were entitled to learn a few more, others who had to be kept completely in the dark, and just a few he could completely trust.

And that was just about Lith. Once Nalrond had to factor in for Solus' share of secrets he would get completely lost.

"It's actually an interesting story, Mom." Friya took her mother's other arm feigning enthusiasm in recounting a heavily doctored version of the events of the Feymar mines in order to make no mention of the tower and Solus.

"Ah." Jirni said noticing the nervousness of her daughter and the relief of the man from the Desert. "The garden is magnificent this time of the year. If I have to bear with a load of crap, I could use a pleasant smell to cover it."

She steered them toward the double doors that led outside, inwardly taking notes of all the inconsistencies in Friya's story to find a reasonable explanation for them later.

Tista had come as well and had brought Bodya the Nidhogg as her date. Unlike during the ascension ceremony, she enjoyed herself a lot a smiled much more often.

She still had her feathered wings out, but now that her expression had softened, between her figure and her delicate features, the wings only added to her charms. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"Girl, you really are taking seriously that Fairy Queen moniker that Nana gave you on her deathbed." Selia said while touching the silver-veined red feathers and enjoying how fluffy they were.

"Not really." Tista shrugged. "I just want to get used to both my bodies and not hide my second nature anymore. I'm not like my little brother, I can't conjure anything and I have no servant. So much for a Queen."

"Give yourself time. Nana nailed it big time dubbing Lith 'King of the Spirits' so she was probably right about you as well." Protector pointed at Trion, Valia, Locrias, and Varegrave who were mingling with the other guests and enjoying the company of their respective families.

"Yeah. I wonder if in her final moments she had developed something akin to Lith's Death Vision." Tista pondered. "By the way, I had hoped that the wings would keep the creeps away instead they attract them like flies to honey."

Selia wasn't the only one who had failed to resist the temptation to touch Tista's feathers without even asking. Bodya kept most men at bay, but he was useless against children who considered them soft toys.

"I see that you are still determined to take the beasts' path." Jiza Gernoff moved her gaze from the wings to the ashen skin of the Nidhogg human form. "I hoped that you would side with the human Council or at least you would take a human companion, like your brother."

"What I do with my life is none of your business." Tista snarled and her teeth shapeshifted into fangs for a split second.

"It's my business indeed. You are the only other living Demon on Mogar and your existence is bound to draw a lot of attention. Especially if one day the Council will need someone capable of countering Verhen." Lady Gernoff replied, finding the Red Demon as intimidating as an angry puppy.

"I'm never going to fight against my brother and I have no reason to listen to one more word you say." Tista turned around to leave but the much smaller human woman held her in place with a grip of steel.
