Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2365

"No offense to Kelia but I want friends my age. Also, I already met Dusk and he looks nice, but I don't trust him more than I trust you, Dawn. On top of that, if I was interested in babysitting, I wouldn't be taking this trip." Solus replied.

"Fair enough." The light of Dawn disappeared from Nyka's eyes as she spoke with her own voice again. "How long until we leave?"

"Just long enough to make sure that everything is alright and Lutia is safe. I'm not going to waste a single second more than necessary." Solus said.

The four women continued to talk until Solus was too tired to continue. Yet after ending the call, sleep eluded her. Solus was still haunted by Phloria's death, happy for the end of the war, and terrified at the idea of moving on with her life.

When Lith woke up, it was the middle of the night in the Desert. He slept until the tower returned his body to its peak condition and rest eased the burden that still weighed on his mind.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." Kamila kissed him as soon as he stirred up. "Are you ready to go back to Lutia?"

"Good morning, Kami. Good morning, Elysia." He chuckled, kissing her on the lips first and then on the stomach. "As for your question, I'm not ready. Yet if I don't go now, it makes things harder for everyone."

Lith took his time dressing, wearing his clothes normally instead of just making the Voidwalker armor cover him up. He also went to check the Dragon Maiden dress in Kamila's wardrobe.

"What are you doing?" She asked while he tested whether the toga was see-through or not and how to take it off in the heat of passion without damaging the expensive silk.

"Collecting information." He replied with an expression deep in thought that Kamila knew was actually his perverted face. "Knowledge is power in every world I've lived."

"Stop it!" She chuckled, giving him a slap on the forehead. "There's no time for whatever kinky stuff you are thinking about. Everyone is getting up for breakfast and we can't make them wait."

"I was planning no such thing. It's not my fault if you have a dirty mind and think everyone is like you." Lith blatantly lied, making her laugh harder.

Once they reached the dining room, Elina and Raaz were already there and so were Solus and Tista. Protector, Selia, Rena, Senton, and the kids came fashionably late. The mood during breakfast was better than the previous day but there was still too much silence.

"I'd like to go back to Lutia, now." Lith said once he was done eating. "Until we start living as we did before the War of the Griffons, peace will never feel real. I want everyone to go back to their old lives without having to worry anymore about Thrud or Meln."

"Thank you, dear." Elina nodded. "There's nothing I'd like more than seeing your father work in the fields with his friends again. I can't wait to go back to taking care of the animals and managing our finances, yet as I said yesterday, it will have to wait."

"Why? What's wrong?" Lith furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Nothing." Raaz shook his head. "It's just that the war ended yesterday and you are already putting us first. Your mother and I discussed this and we've decided that it's time that you let us be your parents for once.

"Let us worry and take care of you, son."

"But, Dad-"

"No buts." Raaz cut Lith short with a wave of his hand. "Your mother is right. This is the only place where nothing bad can happen. I want you to take your time to recover from Phloria's death and the atrocities of war without having to worry about us.

"If I have to take care of my fields, I can't take care of my son. You are my priority, Lith, and my decision is final."

Raaz stood up and walked to Lith's side of the table, full of paternal pride as he squeezed Lith's shoulder.

"Thank you, Dad." Lith nodded, understanding how important it was to Raaz and glad to be loved so much. "Thank you, Mom. Grandma, if you are done eating as well, there's something I would like to share with you all. Can you please call Leegaain?"
