Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2601

2601 A Page in History (Part 1)

"Because the prototype mainframe I built served solely to showcase the potential of the Tablets. I don't have the time and energy to set up the real thing, especially for the benefit of just a handful of people." Lith replied.

"Especially when the Royals were working on it already."

"Congratulations, son." Raaz hugged him just the time for a couple of pats on the shoulder. "I'm not big on reading like your mother, but I can already tell you that you are going to have lots of fans."

He pointed out at Aran, Leria, and the few kids that had already gotten their Tablets and were engrossed in reading The Basics of Magic by Lochra Silverwing.

"Lots of haters too." Lith replied. "I can already hear mobs of angry parents cursing my name after their children have practiced magic indoors with predictable consequences."

"Those curses will turn into blessings once they realize their kids' talent. Remember that people like me can barely light a match. To make as much damage as Aran, one must have his same predisposition for magic."

"Dad!" Aran turned to a shade of purple, still ashamed of his past lack of control and discipline. "Please, don't turn me into a cautionary tale."

"You and Leria turned yourself into a cautionary tale, young man. You didn't need any help." Raaz ruffled his hair. "By the way, I'm going to buy out of my pocket a second Tablet for all of my farmhands.

"This way grown-ups and kids won't have to share. On top of that, finding their children will be much easier since they will be just a call away."

After the Verhens came the Larks, then the Distars, and lastly the Royals.

Solus felt left out since outside of the family no one knew of her involvement in the development of the Tablets nor considered her a full member of the Verhen bloodline.

Elina and the others would have to wait until they went back home to congratulate her in order to avoid arousing questions they couldn't answer.

"Congratulations, Lith." Solus said while extending her hand.

The happiness in her voice was tainted by the sadness caused by the realization that even now that she had gotten her human body back, she was still a spectator forced to watch from the sidelines.

"Come here." Lith pushed the hand away, enveloping her in an embrace like the ones he had received a moment ago.

'Congratulation, Solus.' He said via a mind link.

'Thank you for everything you have done.' Kamila appeared as well, hugging her from behind. 'Even though people might never know, you've made the Kingdom a better place.'

'Congratulations, dear.' Raaz and Elina joined them in the mind link.

'Congratulations, Auntie.' Aran and Leria wrapped her in a telepathic embrace.

'Thank you, Solus.' Senton and Rena said. 'Thank you for always taking good care of our family.'
