Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3322

Chapter 3322 Leap of Faith (Part 1)

"If I fall asleep, please don't wake me up." Salaark had healed Lith's wounds upon his arrival to the Blood Desert, but his body was still suffering from the aftereffects of mana abuse and his core was nearly depleted.

Keeping the Demons outside their Void Sigils didn't help.

"I say it's time we talk about the elephant in the room." Elina said.

"Mom, this is really not the time." Solus' stomach twisted in a knot.

'Now that Mom, I mean, Ripha is back, Mom, I mean, Elina might feel threatened. Gods, this is a mess. Is this how Elysia feels?' She wondered and the answer was no. The baby girl's grasp on Tyris' universal language allowed her to associate a word with something or someone but any complex concept was beyond her.

"I know, sweetie, but this is very important to me." Elina sighed. "How long do we have to keep Kamila's pregnancy a secret?"

"What?" Lith and Solus said in unison.

"As your mother and a grandmother, dear, there's nothing I take more pride in than bragging with my friends about my beautiful grandchildren." Elina said. "When can we throw a baby shower?"

"Mom, this is a matter of safety and opportunity" Lith replied. "We have only one shot at getting rid of whoever is left who might want to hurt. Kami and maybe even Meln. If you want to throw a baby shower, you can do it anytime you want as long as you keep the event private.

"Only those who already know about the pregnancy and Grandma's side of the family can be trusted."

"Thank you, dear." The Overlord smirked at Leegaain.

"I understand." Elina sighed.

"We're lucky I already communicated my intention of not going back to work to the Royals." Kamila sighed as well. "Otherwise the secret wouldn't last a day. There's no way my colleagues would miss my enhanced senses and the increase in my appetite." "At the same time, however, I must find an excuse to get out of the Verhen Mansion often enough to make our enemies believe they have an opportunity or they'll smell the trap from a mile away!"

"We can think about that later." Lith said. "We have months before your state becomes evident."

"We have less time than you think." Elina replied. "The baby bump will show up in the third month. Fourth tops."

"Baggy clothes can hide it until Kamila exceeds Solus' size. Menadion shook her head. "If anyone notices, she can just say that my daughter's bad eating habits rubbed off on her."

"Mom! What's that supposed to mean?" Solus blushed in embarrassment.

"That if you can be an overweight Awakened, she can too." Ripha shrugged.

"I'm not overweight. I'm..." Solus failed to find a non-ridiculous excuse. "Stocking up for winter, I know."

"Mom!"

"I'm sorry, Epphy, I mean, Solus." Ripha pinched her nose in frustration. "I don't mean to be obnoxious, it's just..."

She took a pause to find the right words to express what she felt without sounding even more rude than she had already been.

"I got a body again. People can finally see and hear me, but instead of feeling happy about what I've gained, seeing you all smiling only reminds me of everything I've lost. With every new thing I touch or taste, I feel so angry that it's driving me crazy. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
