3053 A Matter of Choice (Part 1)

"Aside from my grandfather and Narso, no one cared about me. Full-blooded Nidhoggs avoided me back when I was a hybrid. Even after I discarded my human life force, it changed nothing." Bodya said.

"To them, I was a dumb toddler who at twenty years of age struggled with things that they had mastered as hatchlings. I considered myself an adult man while they treated me like a child. Two decades are nothing for a lesser Leviathan.

"The Nidhoggs wouldn't consider me an adult before I hit my first century of life but I couldn't live like that for another eighty years so I left. After learning what they have done to my Granpa, I'm more than sure of my choice.

"I don't want to keep seeking the approval of people who just share my blood. I want to give us a chance and try to be accepted by your family. If you'll have me, of course."

"Yes, I do. I'll marry you." She said with the sweetest voice and eyes watery from joy.

'I was just asking to stop with the casual dating and get serious, not proposing!' Bodya went from his usual ashen to deathly pale as he desperately searched for a way to clear the misunderstanding without hurting Tista's feelings.

"You bought that!" Her straight face crumbled as she burst out laughing. "I can't believe I managed to pull it off so easily. The look on your face was priceless. It was like a toad had jumped down your throat!"

"This is not funny!" His face turned to a dull shade of red as she slapped her knees in hilarity. "I can eat toads for breakfast but you know I can't take on your brother. He would break my spine like a twig right now if our roles were reversed."

"Don't worry, Lith might still do that." Tista wiped off her tears and tried to be serious. "First you moped around for weeks, barely talking to me, and then you disappeared without saying anything.

"Did you really expect that you could just waltz back and pretend nothing happened?"

"You are right, I'm sorry." Bodya scratched his head in embarrassment. "Just to be clear, I was asking you to move our relationship from casual to serious. And for the record, I still think the prank was uncalled for."

"My answers are yes and we'll have to agree to disagree." Tista shrugged.

They had started catching up when Lith arrived to check on the disturbance. They were too close to the tower for his comfort.

"Bodya, what are you doing here?" His voice was cold and his expression stern.

"He just came back from Jiera and apologized to me." Tista said with a big smile on her face. "We are still together, don't worry."

"Congratulations." It was a single word but it managed to express the full scope of Lith's annoyance as he stared at the Nidhogg like he wanted to kill him. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

"Look, I get it." Bodya raised his palms. "I acted like a jerk and deserved a lesson. Message received. There's no point pushing the joke too far."

"What joke?" Lith's frown remained and became worse when Tista told him they weren't casual anymore.

Bodya experienced his first mile in Senton's shoes and he didn't like it one bit.

Verhen Mansion, Solus' tower a few days later.

"I am banished from death." Lith growled, sitting on the comfortable chair of his home office.
