Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2746

Chapter 2746 Elysia’s Gala (Part 2)

"It's to avoid shapeshifters, assassins, or kidnappers." Salaark went first to show the Royals how it was done.

The guards didn't spare her anything and treated her only with a modicum of courtesy until both their instruments and breathing techniques confirmed her identity.

The King and Queen didn't like being treated like criminals but if even the Overlord had to undergo such treatment, they had no reason to protest. Their surprise only increased when Milea and Leegaain came as well yet received no free pass.

"What's happening?" Sylpha asked.

"As I said, the Royals must come first yet there's more than just the two of you." Salaark replied. "The Desert claims its blood rights by paternal ascendence. I consider Elysia a part of my Nest until she tells me otherwise."

"And the Empire claims its blood rights by maternal ascendence." Milea confirmed. "We are involved with this baby as much as you. Her grandfather…"

The Empress waved at the Dragon Guardian who wore a pink ribbon on his left shoulder that identified as a relative from the mother's side.

"Has already offered an apprenticeship that's only up to Elysia to turn down. We are here to make sure that her rights are respected and that her choice is going to be made freely."

The King and Queen nodded, holding their hands tight to contain part out of joy and the rest out of despair.

Elysia was healthy, asleep, and in her human form, showing a head the massive headache that had started upon their arrival at the Mansion and was getting worse by the second.

The moment the guards stepped away, the Royals wanted to cry. In part out of joy and the rest out of despair.

Elysia was healthy, asleep, and in her human form, showing a head filled with raven-black hair streaked with the six colors of the elements all over.

"Awakened from birth?" Milea herself felt faint at the vision, her head spinning so fast that she needed to cling to the crib to not fall face-first against the floor. "And with seven streaks at that?"

Just like the Royals, the Empress knew that six streaks would manifest only in an Awakened and that the appearance of the emerald streak was just a matter of time.

Meron's life force couldn't take the blow and he felt like having a stroke and an aneurysm at the same time while Sylpha started hyperventilating and needed help from the guards to keep standing.

"A heart attack at your age." Salaark fixed the King with a cantrip. "I must tell Tyris to take better care of you, young man."

"Here, take a seat." Leegaain handed the Queen and the Empress a chair each and a leather bag in which to breathe.

"Can we turn around now, Mother?" The guards asked, excited to meet the newest member of their flock.

"Not yet. Let's give these weaklings a moment to collect themselves while the parents arrive." Salaark's words were rude but they still reminded everyone that the masters of the house would soon join them.

Lith and Kamila snorted in annoyance while being examined but they thanked the guards once they were done.

"Your Majesty." Kamila left Lith's arm while he gave them a quick bow and went to the crib. "The last part of the baby reveal requires my presence. Here we go, baby girl. Show them what you can do."

Lith picked Elysia from the crib who looked around, yawning, with no clue what was happening. She didn't like having so many strangers around, but between her parents and grandparents, she felt safe enough.

Lith then quickly shapeshifted into a Tiamat, a Voidfeather Dragon, and an Abomination with Elysia following his lead with but a moment of delay.
