Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2440

'I guess that I need to have a word with Senton.' Raaz knew of their problems, but wasn't aware of how bad the situation was. 'Back when Lith was little. I walked a mile in Senton's shoes and then some.

'The difference between us is that I was too happy for the help that Lith gave to the family to care about my fatherly pride whereas Senton feels eclipsed by his own daughter.'

Lith closed the conversation with Solus and then the breakfast continued in an Awkward silence until he was forced to leave for the White Griffon.

"How long will the lesson take?" Kamila was both happy and scared at the idea of spending a bit of time on her own.

Lith's constant care was a bit annoying but it also kept anyone from trying and hazing her. From the academy, there was no way to leave the Golems or the Demons with her.

"The whole morning minimum." He replied. "You can join me at the White Griffon for lunch or I'll come to you as soon as I'm done in case you have no time for a proper meal. Do you want something in particular?"

"Gods, yes." Kamila had fond memories of the time spent at the White Griffon during Zinya's post-operation recovery.

It had marked her sister's first step toward freedom and the food was simply delicious. Kamila gave him a grocery list of all the dishes she wanted and the number of servings for each.

"We can always save them for later." She blushed in embarrassment when Lith moved to the second page of her notebook and she was still talking. "After all, food doesn't go bad in a dimensional amulet."

"That or we can throw a party." Lith scoffed. "Eating for two is a tough job, but judging from this list we are having triplets."

"Don't joke about that! What if you jinxed it?" Kamila brought his hand to her womb in fear.

"Don't worry. Still one. I check on Elysia multiple times every day, remember?" He gave her a warm smile but he still performed a deep scan, just to be safe.

"It's kind of hard to forget." She sighed in relief after he took his hand away and his smile was still extending to his eyes. "Let's hope my colleagues are as polite as they look even without you."

"Only one way to find out." Lith shrugged, strapping a hiltless War at her hip. "Take care of them for me, okay?"

"Daughter!" The angry blade wailed in reply.

"Is it safe?" Kamila knew what happened to whoever tried to wield the blade.

"The guard and the scabbard can be touched freely." Lith nodded. "I ordered War to keep the grip hidden so there's no risk of you grabbing it by instinct. Right, buddy?"

Lith caressed the blood latches that followed his hand in an affectionate gesture.

After bidding his wife goodbye, Lith crossed the Warp Gate of the mansion, reaching the Headmaster's office of the White Griffon in a single step.

"You are a bit early, but it's better this way." Duke Marth stood up to welcome him and they shook hands. "Do you mind giving me a quick check-up? Ryssa keeps nagging at me because she says that I look unwell."
