Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2281

"I'm sorry for messing with your busy schedule, dear Baroness, but I wanted to invite you, Kotu, and Iriel on a trip with my family. On your DoLorean." Lith pointed at the car, making the twins gasp in amazement.

"Our DoLorean?" Mirias echoed, her face turning even paler.

"Your DoLorean." Lith nodded.

"Our DoLorean!" Wyalon showed her the crystal with pride, putting it into her hands.

Nothing in her etiquette lessons and manuals covered what a country noble had to do when receiving a priceless gift from a Magus so her brain froze and Mirias fainted on the spot.

The Baron caught her on the fly, using ammonium salts to make her recover.

"I swear to the gods, Eiros, I had the strangest dream-" She said upon regaining consciousness, just to freeze again once reality slapped her in the face.

"I never thought that the day would come where it would be my turn saying this, dear, but you are embarrassing me." The Baron said with the sweetest voice and smile, trying to lighten the mood.

Yet his words worked like a charm, poking at her pride and honor.

'If nothing makes sense, just go with the flow.' Mirias thought while getting back on her feet.

"I apologize for the inconvenience. Let's go." She actually said.

"I haven't even told you our destination, dear." The Baron found the experience of being the polite one oddly amusing.

"You are right. Where to?"

"Magus Verhen's boot camp, Grimatros." Wyalon said and Mirias walked to the car, waiting for her husband to imprint the artifact.

"You still have the key, dear. I can't open it without the crystal."

"You are right." She had never said those words to her husband so many times in a week, let alone a few minutes. Her face flushed as the Baroness handed the crystal back to the Baron.

"Since it's your first time, it would be better if you three go to the backseat and I sit in the front. Just until the Baron learns the ropes." Lith said.

Mirias and her children followed his instruction to avoid further embarrassment.

"Follow us, mother." Lith said and Elina gave him thumbs up.

The DoLorean was responsive and the controls intuitive so it took the Baron a few minutes to go from trembling rookie to driving enthusiast.

Once the tension from the novelty faded, Mirias and the twins took turns driving. Lith inwardly sighed, but he considered it as experience for his own daughter's driving lessons.

An hour and a Warp Gate later, they reached Grimatros.

"Not again!" Lith whined. He could swear to have heard Kamila's snarl from the other DoLorean despite the distance separating the two vehicles.

The whole camp was painted red and black with his family insignia flying right below the flag of the country.
