Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2332

"With my help, of course." Kamila said with one of her smiles that could turn night into day.

The quick-paced heartbeat was the best music Lith had ever heard, washing away all of his worries and grief. It reminded him that even in his darkest hour there was someone who needed him. Someone to fight for.

"Thanks, Kami. Thanks, Solus." Lith sniffled, this time out of joy and he didn't feel bad for it.

"You are welcome." They said in unison. "Have you thought about a name for the baby girl yet?"

"No. You?" Lith asked.

"I've no idea about the first name but what do you think of Phloria as her second name?" Kamila replied.

"It would be perfect. Thank you." Lith needed sheer willpower to not cry and a handkerchief to blow his nose before snot covered his face.

"Now that's settled, what did you want to talk about?" Solus took her hands off Kamila but left the spell in place so that the heartbeat would remain in the background.

"A few things." Lith replied. "First, I don't care what the others think or do, I'm not giving up on this fight. Tessa is right, there's no way for us to defeat the Golden Griffon, but if the opportunity arises, I want to be there.

"I'm the only one who can get inside the lost academy and destroy it for good. If before the war was just a matter of upholding my deal with the Royals, now it's personal. I'm not going to let Thrud win."

"I understand." Kamila nodded. "Do what you think is right. I'm 100% with you, just be careful."

She clenched his hand, pressing it against her womb to remind him how much was at stake.

"Don't worry, Kami. I'll watch his back and bring him home in one piece." Solus held her other hand.

"Thank you, Solus." Kamila returned the hold, thanking once again the gods for her odd yet functional marriage.

"One more thing. With Phloria gone, we need to pick another godparent for the baby." Lith said while lowering his gaze.

"Isn't that a bit too soon?" Kamila clenched both Solus' and Lith's hand. "We can take our time and wait until we feel better. Doing it right now feels like spitting on Phloria's grave."

"I would agree with you if not for what we have just said." Lith sighed. "If something goes wrong, I want someone I trust to take care of the baby and you in my stead. I can't afford to wait."

Solus opened her mouth to object, but she closed it just as quickly without saying a word. Her full focus was now devoted to clenching her teeth and not squashing Kamila's hand in worry.

"Do the old requirements still apply?" Kamila turned a little pale but otherwise managed to act natural.

"Yes. I'd like a human to help her appreciate her mother's side. A mage so that they can share with the baby the wonders of magic. Last but not least, an Awakened so that they can understand the care that raising an Awakened child takes." Lith replied.

"What about Solus?" Kamila asked.

"Mother and godmother? Thanks, but no thanks. If anything happens to Lith, I'll be the one needing someone to take care of me." Solus shook her head. "What about Tista?"

"Once she hits the violet, she'll be in my same situation so no can do." Lith shrugged.

"Friya and Quylla are off the table. They would never accept taking Phloria's role so soon, especially once they learn the baby's second name." Kamila pondered.

"She's an Abomination hybrid as well. She possesses the Dragon, the human, and the undead side just like our baby. Last but not least, she didn't hesitate to help you with Phloria." _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
