Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2424

"War, you know what to do." Lith took the angry blade hung to his hip and put it in front of Kamila's desk.

"Kill. Kill. And kill!" The latches of the sheath writhed like angry snakes, their clicks producing words with a voice that nothing had of human and didn't even try to sound like one.

"No, protect." Lith chided it. "Think of the baby."

"Daughter!" War whined, the memory of Phloria's death still haunting it. For some reason, Elysia had replaced Phloria as the sword's primary mission, making War's obsession with the baby almost as bad as Lith's.

"If hurt, kill?" The angry blade moaned like a puppy begging for a treat.

"No, if you even suspect they are trying to hurt her, you can get out of your sheath." Lith shook his head, making War emit a shrieking wail of excitement.

The blade started to float above Kamila's desk, the two violet crystals on either side of the hilt glowing like eyes as War spun around non-stop, leaving no blind spot in its patrol.

"Guys, you know what to do." Four six-eyed Demons armed to the teeth emerged from Lith's shadow, assuming a square formation with Kamila at its center. "Do you want the Golems too?"

"For the gods' sake, just go!" Kamila shooed him.

"You are right, the sooner we start, the sooner we finish." Lith ignored her silent plea and the horrified gazes of her fellow Constables. "Love you."

"I love you more." She replied with a sigh, waiting for the door to close. "Guys, there's no need for this level of security. Can you please go away? You are scaring everyone."

"You heard the Lady." Locrias said. "Covert mode, engage!"

The four Demons merged with the shadows in the room, making it impossible to determine their current position and creeping the Constables out even more.

'This is even worse!' Kamila inwardly whined, afraid to give another order that would be interpreted with Lith-like logic and further screw things up.

Meanwhile, Lith was following the Great Mage to the Council Chamber located inside a heavily guarded tower above his private quarters. The Throne Room was a security nightmare due to the many secret and servant passages and the dozens of staff members who had access to it at all hours.

The most important and secret meeting of the Kingdom took place in a small room about 6 meters (20 feet) long and 4 meters (13 feet) wide with only a round table and several wooden chairs as furniture.

The shape of the table didn't imply that every opinion held the same importance. It was simply the only way to keep everyone close and accommodate as many chairs as possible.

Aside from the furniture, the room was bare, with no windows and only one access point. Both the floor and the walls were of a pale grey, there was no color outside that of the magical stones the room was comprised of.

Most of the assemblies would last hours, and given the sensitive nature of the subjects that required the King's direct approval, discretion was of vital importance.
