Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2310

"We could use an ally and I'm eager to meet Elphyn." Fyrwal said.

"Wait, you knew?" Faluel was flabbergasted.

"I'm no fool, dear. I saw Verhen's videos like everyone else and I'm pretty certain that despite the few changes it has undergone, the Golden Knight who fought by his side was wielding Menadion's Fury." Fyrwal replied.

"I had my suspicions ever since you asked my help with the Hands and refused to introduce me to your boy wonder. At that point, too many things didn't add up. Like how Verhen can be such a genius Forgemaster despite having no bloodline legacy or how he uses mana geysers like no one else.

"Or better, like he has a tower?" Faluel turning pale at the allegation answered her question even though the Hydra remained silent.

"Promise me neither of you will try something funny." Faluel said.

"I promise." Both women said.

Faluel went to the front door, knocking politely.

"Back so soon? I thought you were busy with Council duties. Is everything alright?" Elina asked.

She could swear to know one of Faluel's guests while the other just sent a shiver down her spine. The green-haired woman was beautiful but there was no warmth in her. Elina felt like she was staring at a majestic yet deadly predator.

"I'm fine, thanks. I hope you remember my mother, Fyrwal." The Hydra waved at the other woman with seven colored streaks amid her hair. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"But of course! Please, come in. It's so nice seeing you again Lady Fyrwal." Elina had met the Elder Hydra during Lith's ascension ceremony to Magus.

Even though Fyrwal back then had acted a bit cold, Elina had no reason to suspect either Hydra of foul play.

"Please, just Fyrwal. I gave up on pretentious titles a long time ago." Her grip was firm and delicate when she shook Elina's hand.

"Who's this charming lady? A relative of yours?"

"In a way." Faluel tensed up. "Elina, allow me to introduce you to the fourth founding pillar of the Griffon Kingdom. Lady Tessa Titania Sempre Erebia."

"The Bewitching Demon?" Elina froze up.

Everyone in the Kingdom knew who Tessa was.

She had many unflattering nicknames like the Darkest Page of History, Valeron's Poison, or the Gravedigger. After the unification of the Kingdom, the nobles had tried to forget about the Titania while the commoners feared her.

"Also that." Faluel sighed. "Please, don't use that name. Only the enemies and the critics of Aunt Tessa call her like that."

"I'm sorry, Lady Tessa, I didn't know that." Elina gave her a deep bow, trembling like a leaf.

"No need to apologize, Lady Verhen. The historical reports about my actions are unflattering but accurate. I can't blame you for using a nickname I deserved. Please, call me Tessa." The Titania gave her host a deep bow.

She found Elina's clumsy manners adorable.

"Is everything okay, Mom?" Solus had heard Faluel's voice and had come to greet her mentor when she noticed Elina's distress.

"Epphy!" Fyrwal wrapped her in an embrace and lifted Solus with no effort. "Thank the gods you are alright. You had me worried sick for over 700 years. Why didn't you come looking for me?"
