Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2949

Chapter 2949 Future Struggles (Part 1)

Morok's powers and his alliance with the monsters of Zelex would have been a fine addition to the forces at Jirni's command, but there was no way that Morok would be able to keep the secret from Quylla.

Jirni had no intention to involve any of her children in the battle ahead. It was Jirni's mess, something born out her grief from Phloria's death. The thought of losing another precious member of her family, and because of her at that, was unacceptable.

Morok sat down fiddling with his fingers. It was his turn to feel embarrassed after being read like an open book. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"I agree with Mom." Gunyin said, surprising no one. "Morok is not and will never be Royal Court material. Yet knowing that you have at least one honest friend in a world of lies and deceit is of great comfort to me, dear sister."

"What about Nalrond?" Friya asked.

"This is not for me to say." Jirni turned toward the Rezar. "Go, dear. You two have much to talk about and you've waited too long already."

Nalrond had been a true surprise to Jirni.

Since she was already aware of Friya's Awakening, Lith's and Morok's past hybrid nature, and Nalrond skills as a Light Master, the Rezar had decided that disclosing his past wasn't a big deal after all.

Also, in his naivety, he believed that by being honest with Jirni she could later better help Friya in making up her mind about their relationship after he informed her about his plans.

Instead, Jirni used the garnered information to further her own. Nalrond had gone through a lot of suffering. He had lost his entire village and his first fiancée. He knew grief even better than Jirni and would have been a priceless asset to her.

Yet before involving him in her schemes, Jirni needed him to go on with his experiments and clear things with Friya. As he was, Nalrond's only worth was his Light Mastery and the fact that Friya loved him.

There was no point pitting him against Awakened. If he succeeded in fusing his life forces, however, after Awakening he would reach the bright blue, if not even the violet.

Being already a true mage, Nalrond would quickly get used to his newfound condition and his powers would play a key role in Jirni's strategies. Before deciding how to use him, however, she needed to hear Friya's answer.

It would made the difference between making whatever the Rezar might become a sacrificial pawn and a piece that Jirni had to preserve at all costs.

"Thanks." Nalrond was glad to have opened up to Jirni and have received the full support of who he hoped would be his future mother-in law.

Despite her inquisitive line of "conversation", Jirni had proved to be a great listener.

She had shed (fake) tears upon hearing about the fate of his village, showed no concern about his hybrid nature, and had even encourage him about fusing his life forces.

As for Tulion and Gunyin, they would have preferred fully human companions for their sisters. Yet Nalrond's and Morok's honesty and hard-working nature made them better than any of the spoiled nobles and arrogant mages that plagued the Royal Court.

On top of that, their tragic past put them in a unique position to bond with Quylla and Friya like not even the members of their adoptive family could. Morok was an orphan just like Quylla while Nalrond had lost his family in a single day, just like Friya.
