Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2200

Thrud tried to reply but Jormun put his forefinger on her lips while Ophya, the blonde handmaiden, put Valeron on his chest. The baby cooed and giggled, unaware of what was happening.

"Whatever you decide, please, tell our son that his father loved him and remember that I love you." Jormun hugged his child and wife, kissing Valeron on the forehead and Thrud on the lips one last time before his life ended.

"No, no, no!" Thrud yelled and cried while Hushing Valeron and handing him back to the handmaidens.

"Please, stay. I beg of you! Turn into an Abomination and I'll surrender myself to the Master to bring you back. I'll destroy the Golden Griffon if you ask me to, but don't leave me. Don't leave me!" Yet Jormun's soul was gone and he couldn't hear her anymore.

That day the Mad Queen was true to her name, pain and grief driving her insane.

Her wails were so desperate and her promises so sincere that back in the capital city of Valeron, Tyris shed tears for her. The Guardian knew all too well how painful the loss of true love was.

***

City of Valeron, Royal Court, a few minutes earlier.

Ever since Lith's group had left, Queen Sylpha had kept taking care of Meron with the Royal Healer's help. Quylla was doing her best, using both her breathing technique and her tier five Body Sculpting spell, Silver Hand, to ease his symptoms.

Her studies to find a cure for Lith's condition had made her an expert in damaged life forces, an interest that the Queen now desperately shared.

The members of the Awakened Council had spent their time either barking orders in their respective amulets or sucking up to Kamila and Tyris. It was the first time for many of them to have an audience with the First Queen while Lith's wife was just the icing on the cake.

Getting on good terms with the woman who would not only give birth to the first Demon, if not even a Tiamat, but who also spent most of her days in company with the Guardians of the Garlen continent couldn't hurt.

Kamila, instead, had spent her time ignoring them, stress eating, or pacing, sometimes doing all three at once. She kept staring at her communication amulet where both Lith's and Solus' communication runes were.

She still used the one Salaark had made for the members of the Verhen family so there was no risk of their calls being tapped or their amulet being tracked.

Kamila had yet to wrap her mind around Lith's past as Derek, but she couldn't bear the thought of having sent him to his death nor the idea that her last memory of him would have been that of a quarrel.

"Calm down, Constable Yehval. At this rate, you'll open a hole in the marble." Queen Sylpha said.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, what would you do if it was your husband out there and someone told you to calm down?" Kamila managed to keep the edge in her voice low enough to cut just mountains.

"I'd squeeze the life out of them." The Queen sighed while looking at Meron. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Even after a few days since he had performed the Forbidden Magic, he still had a fever and sweated profusely. The only reason she wasn't pacing around was that Sylpha had already resigned to the helplessness of her situation.

"Calm down, child." Tyris gently took Kamila's hand while lighting her eyes with mana due to her breathing technique, Mother Earth. "They are fine. All of them, I just checked."

"So they are out of danger, right?" Kamila asked, having learned from Jirni how to never underestimate the phrasing of a sentence.

"No, but they are fine." The Guardian sighed, witnessing the fight between Solus and Hystar first and then Jormun joining the fray.

"Great! Now I'm really worried."

"If you need a quiet place where to spend a bit of time, you can always visit my country house." Inxialot, the Lich King said. "It's a bit isolated, but its beauty is out of this world."
