Chapter 3218 Open Secret (Part 1)

"Zoreth and Bytra are already here. They were worried for you as anyone else and I granted them hospitality as a thank you for the help they provided in taking you back home safely. As for the food, that's easily arranged."

Salaark clapped her hands, moving everyone to her dining hall. "Besides, we can all use a warm meal after so many days of heartache."

The people involved in the rescue mission were already sitting at the table. Quylla, Nalrond, and everyone else stood up and welcomed Lith back, inquiring about his health

Lith spent the minutes before the food was served reassuring his friends of his well-being. He also thanked those who had helped to stop him and apologized for his own attempts to kill them via a mind link not to scare the children.

"Out of curiosity, why are we in the Desert? What's wrong with Lutia?" Lith asked, obtaining a series of embarrassed coughs from his family's side of the table.

"Because your mother doesn't trust 'just' a white core to take care of her 'baby boy'." It was the first time that Lith saw Baba Yaga look offended. "She dragged us all here to put you under Salaark's care and protection.

"Elina wanted to make sure nothing and no one might disturb your recovery."

"Thanks, Mom."

"You are welcome, dear." Seeing her son already up and in good health was more than enough to convince Elina she had made the right choice.

"How long was I out exactly?" Lith asked.

"Just a few hours." Salaark replied. "You have to thank your wife for that. First, she had Yaga take care of you until Elina brought you to the Desert. Then, after I was done checking up on your condition, she insisted Yaga and I combined our efforts to speed up your recovery." _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"It's not that I don't trust you, Grandma." Kamila said. "It's just that I know this bonehead. He's not going to rest until we have a concrete plan to bring Solus back. Rather than struggle to keep him in his bed, I wanted him to regain his full strength.

"Delaying his departure would only make things harder for everyone."

"I know." The Overlord nodded. "Did he at least apologize for all the mean things he said to you and for trying to kill you?"

"Yes to both." Kamila chuckled. "Right before fainting."

The valets entered the room, pushing huge carts that carried multiple servings for normal humans or one serving for a Divine Beast.

The meal was pleasant and delicious. Lith made small talk with his friends and family to understand what had happened while he was an amnesiac and how the Kingdom had taken his fight with Meln.

They just had to carefully word a few details to keep the children from figuring out what they were really talking about without Lith missing a beat.

After the bigger children were all tuckered out and the babies fast asleep, Salaark moved everyone to her War Room to strategize Lith's next move away from impressionable ears.

Lith used that opportunity to share with them the only piece of information that no one but him was still aware of: the details of his battle with Orpal.

"Disturbing." Baba Yaga said after listening to Lith's recount of the Undead King's newfound strength and abilities. "The little bas- I mean, Meln reaching the bright blue is bad news. As soon as his body stabilizes, he can go straight for the violet.
