Chapter 2132 Close but Far (Part 4) _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Raaz wasn't checking the dust since the self-cleaning spells of the house had kept it in excellent condition. He was trying to reignite the good memories of his home that made him love it.

While he had been tortured by Orpal first and then exiled in the Desert, Lutia had been all that he could think of. Raaz had convinced himself that his lost house was a magical place that would heal his trauma and protect him from the bad things that haunted him.

He only had to find a way to get there and everything would have been well.

Or so he had thought until he had finally achieved his dream.

The house was just a bunch of stones, mortar, and wood that had no effect on his scarred mind. Raaz felt his hope betrayed, wondering if Lutia had ever had any charm that wasn't just one of Lith's workings.

Finding the air in his ancestral house fresh and the pieces of furniture clean made even his own bedroom feel alien to him, like someone else had lived there in his absence.

Looking at his fields through the window and seeing them in perfect condition made him angry as well.

'I was expecting to find a mess. This whole time I have been worrying so much about how badly things would go without my supervision and instead everything it's fine. No matter how much I suffered, Mogar kept spinning without me and life went on.

'Even if I died on that table, no one would have noticed it.' Raaz's anger grew as he felt insignificant and stupid.

Faluel had told him that his farmhands had never abandoned their jobs, knowing that he would return, and that the Royals had made sure to pay them for their job. Brinja had even left guards around the farm to make sure that no one vandalized the fields.

As a woman, she considered Lith a friend and as the ruler of the Marquisate, she was aware that those crops would save thousands of lives during winter.

Yet all those attentions made Raaz feel robbed of his place on Mogar instead of grateful. He would have preferred to see his life's work destroyed than discover how irrelevant he was.

"I was thinking of inviting my in-laws for dinner, if that's not a problem for you, Kamila. The kids could use seeing their grandparents." Rena said while pointing at Aran and Leria.

The sun was still high enough to see the farm's surroundings clearly and the weather was warm. Yet instead of going out and playing with the magical beasts of the Trawn woods, the kids kept moving from one window to another like sentinels.

They still remembered the chaos and fear of the day when Orpal had exposed Lith's identity as Tiamat. They remembered how their friends and neighbors had turned against them and only Solus' timely intervention had saved them from being lynched.

"It's fine by me. Do you mind if I invite Zin as well?" Kamila replied.

"The more the merrier." Rena said with a sigh. "The kids sure can use some company."

"Where are Lith and Solus?" Kamila had shapeshifted her uniform into a long-sleeved shirt and baggy pants before wearing an apron.

"In the tower." Elina had already arranged the cookware on the stove and was now picking the ingredients for the first cooking lesson. "They got here early to check on the kings of the woods, greet Faluel, and help Tista."

"That's great." Kamila snorted, cutting the vegetables with angry movements. "This is nothing like I had pictured our first day home."
