Chapter 2130 Close but Far (Part 2)
Tesmian the Blood Warlock followed the Empress closely, keeping a safe distance from the Guardian and giving him a deep bow before introducing himself.
"What's all this stuff?" The Father of all Dragons flipped through the material, discovering that it was written in different ancient codes that he knew like the back of his hand.
"Maybe nothing and maybe the key to ending this war. It's up to you to find out." She replied.

Distar Marquisate, City of Lutia, a few days later.
Even after Lith had received a full Royal Pardon and the title of Supreme Magus, the members of the Verhen family had preferred not to return to their home in the Kingdom.
Elina was pregnant, Raaz was mentally unwell, and Lutia had yet to be completely rebuilt after the attack of the Dead King. The Verhens were afraid of how their fellow citizens might react to their reappearance and how it would affect the peace of mind they so desperately needed.
Even Rena had seen her in-laws only via the communication amulet, not wanting to put her parents under unnecessary stress.
Everything changed after Kamila turned out to be pregnant. She had resumed her job a few days after the baby shower and a Guardian always followed her whenever she left Salaark's palace.
"What do you say if instead of going back and forth from the Desert you stay in Lutia once you're done working?" Elina asked. "We would join you from the Gate in the barn and Zinya would be able to visit without going through the customs."
"You have a point." Kamila pondered.
She was actually sick and tired of working until sundown just to find the heat of noon waiting for her in the Desert. It screwed up her body clock and forced her to stay locked inside the palace to not sweat bullets in the few hours she had left before going to bed.
Kamila missed seeing the moon and the stars, the familiar smells and taste of the cuisine of the Kingdom, and most of all, she craved some peace and quiet.
In the Desert, the house staff kneeled in front of her and refused to get up until she gave them her blessing. Phoenixes, Dragons, and even members of the Council came at all hours to congratulate her or discuss the future of the baby when she just wanted to relax.
"With you there, we could finally eat at our table and sleeps in our beds. It would do wonders for Raaz. On top of that, I think it's time the people of Lutia start to get used to the idea that we won't be away forever." Feeling confident, Elina continued with her pitch.
"After what happened at the Heavenly Wolf restaurant, I don't trust the Queen's Corps much. They do their best, but our enemies have proven to be both resourceful and cunning.
"I understand that Thrud is much worse than Meln, but even she is nothing compared to a Guardian. If you come with us, I wouldn't be afraid of facing the Mad Queen, let alone an angry mob."
"Only at a few conditions." Kamila replied.
"Anything you want." Elina said with a warm smile on her face.
"I'd like you to start cooking after my arrival. I miss the delicate aroma of our homeland's spices and the smell of fresh ingredients. Also, I could use some make-up cooking lessons.
"I've been served for so long that the only kitchen tool I remember how to use is the fork." Kamila said. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
