"Fenagar knows about you ever since your trip to Jiera while Inxialot is more likely to die for good that to take a walk. Even if he did, I bet white crystals against beans that he'd forget about you the moment he takes his eyes off you."
"Makes sense." Lith nodded. "I have a favor to ask."
"Already?" The Guardian glared a bit until Lith whispered something in his ear that Leegaain Hushed with a Guardian tier spell.
"By the gods, I'd steal your idea right now if not for my precarious situation. Follow me." The two men disappeared inside the lab again, leaving the three women alone.
"What did they say?" Kamila asked Salaark.
"Beats me. The bastard is good. Solus?"
"I don't peek into Lith's mind like that!" She blushed in outrage. "Also, he would instantly notice."
"La." Shargein caught a lock of Salaark's hair and started sucking it.
Lith and Leegaain returned less than ten minutes later, feeling the palpable curiosity in the air.
"This is for you, Solus. A star that actually came from space and whose light traveled a long distance just to guide me in my darkest hour." Lith gave her a star-shaped pendant made of silver extracted from an asteroid.
"Thank you! It's beautiful." Solus squealed with joy and hugged him with enough strength to crack his ribs.
Then, she turned around and moved aside her long hair, exposing her slender neck so that Lith could put the lock on her.
"Kami, this is for you, instead. To always remind you that I really love you to the moon and back." Lith showed her a moon-shaped silver pendant, making her squeal as well and wiping out the scowl from her face.
"Nice save, jackass." She gave him a sweet kiss and a slap on the forehead. "You got me real jealous for a second."
She turned around and exposed her neck as well, demanding the same treatment.
"I'm not done yet." He handed her a small jewelry box that turned out to contain a small sun-shaped silver pendant. "This is for our daughter and I want you to keep it until she's born. The day when she'll light our lives just like the sun."
Solus and Kamila squealed even harder than when they had received their own gift, hugging Lith while drowning him in sweet words and compliments about his romantic gesture.
Salaark, instead, glared at Leegaain.
"Well?"
"Well, what?" He feigned ignorance.
"What about me?" She asked.
"What about you?" He furrowed his brows in confusion.
"Don't play smart with me! Where's my gift? Where's the gift for our son?" She was furious, but her voice was low and sweet to not scare Shargein.
"Is this a trick question?" He replied. "If you want to propose, woman, just do it. I don't see why I have to do all the job."
Salaark pointed at Shargein and made the hologram of the number nine appear in the air as she pointed at her womb. Then, she slowly passed her thumb along her neck slowly while pointing at Leegaain.
"Point taken." The Father of all Dragons disappeared inside his lab for a minute, emerging from it with a beautiful necklace with several pendants. At the center, there was a miniature full figure of Salaark and by either side small solar systems.
"What does this even mean?"
"That you are the center of my universe." Leegaain scratched his head in embarrassment for being so cheesy. freewebnøvel.com
