Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2370

"Thanks, Mom." Friya hugged Jirni as well. "Speaking of mansions, Lith, what about yours?"

"I'm in your same situation." He sighed. "The Queen is having it finished at record speed but she also will set the bare minimum. She wants me to decide stuff like drapes, the style of the furniture, the art pieces, and all that crap!"

"Is he whining because he hates decorating or because he has to pay for the furniture out of his own pocket?" Quylla asked Kamila.

"Hey!" Lith didn't like the allegation.

"He's whining because everything looks the same to him and he has trouble seeing more than 16 colors." Kamila replied with a giggle. "The Royals are paying for everything or you'd see him cry blood."

"Kami!"

"Did I say something wrong or inaccurate?" She asked.

"No, but not in front of our friends!" He said in embarrassment.

"No need to be embarrassed." Jirni shook her head. "You have yet to buy Kamila a single gift worthy of its name. Everything she has you crafted yourself. It's very romantic but also very cheap."

"Yeah, even her Voidfeather armor comes from Salaark." Friya nodded.

"You are the Supreme Miser, everyone knows it." Quylla shrugged. "Buy your wife something nice for once. She's going to need it."

"What do you mean?" Lith and Kamila asked in unison.

"Well, in a while she is going to attend to Court summons, the Gala for the end of the war, Court life, and my marriage minimum. Do you know that wearing the same dress twice is considered terrible manners?" Quylla replied.

"Are you kidding me?" Lith clenched in pain the stone ring where his wallet was stored.

"Why do you think I have so many dresses?" Jirni rose an eyebrow in disbelief. "You have to wait at least one month before wearing the same outfit can be considered proper. Then, you must also consider the current fashion or be frowned upon as outdated.

"You also need to take into account that a party can be themed and you must fit in. Last, but not least, you need suitable jewels for your outfit. Women are not like you who can wear your damn uniform and robe and be always fine. We need to shine."

"Oh, gods." Lith whimpered, making everyone laugh.

"I'm sorry, babe. I can borrow what I need until-" Kamila's worry was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Lith felt like a heartless jerk, not only because he had never bothered learning all those things, but also because she was feeling sorry for him. Kamila lived on a military salary whereas he was a Baron, a Magus, a Supreme Magus, and the owner of silver mines.

Plural.

"No, you won't." Lith shook his head. "Can you girls please help Kami get herself a good wardrobe? I'm terrible at it and I don't want to scare clerks and tailors with the grimaces I know I'd make if I were present."

"It will be our pleasure." Jirni nodded. "Any request in particular?"
