Chapter 3338 Royal Scolding (Part 1)

"By the way, Dad, I was thinking about taking a short vacation just with you and another with Mom. We never spend time together and you could use a change of scenery." Lith said.

"Why split the family?" Raaz asked.

"So we can do man stuff we enjoy without boring Mom out of her skull and vice versa." Lith replied.

"Can I come too?" Aran asked.

"Sure, little guy. It will be me, you, Dad, and Trion." Lith said, making his older brother spit his food out in surprise.

The last thing he expected was to be invited.

"What about me?" Leria pouted.

"You can come if you want." Lith replied after throwing a glance at Raaz who nodded. "Why didn't you invite me, Uncle Lith?" She stared at him with puppy eyes.

"For fairness. I thought you wanted to take part in the vacation with Mom, which I know Aran won't enjoy. Unless I'm wrong and you like touring cities and going shopping, little brother."

"No way!" Aran pretended to fall asleep on the spot to make his point.

"That's boring!" Leria said in horror. "Why should I enjoy that?"

"My bad, then." Lith chuckled.

After lunch, Lith spent his time with Kamila and the babies while Solus kept talking with her mother.

"Mom, why don't we invite Fyrwal and Tessa to come here?" She asked. "They always talk fondly about you and even though they are a bit creepy, they are good friends."

"Sure." Menadion combed Solus' hair with her fingers. "Not now, though. I want to keep you all for myself for a while."

The First Ruler of the Flames had many stories she wanted to tell her daughter, some of which very personal. Most of all, Ripha wanted to build a relationship with Solus based on mutual respect.

Something that would become considerably harder if her old friends shared more embarrassing anecdotes about her past with Solus.

It was tea time in the Blood Desert and dawn in the Kingdom when Lith's amulet started to blink.

"Damn, I've jinxed myself. The rune belonged to King Meron and Lith couldn't afford to ignore him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lith gave the hologram a polite bow. "To what do I owe this honor?"

"It's not an honor at all, Magus Verhen." Meron was sitting on the Royal throne, his right check resting against his closed fist. "Your amulet went back online two days ago yet not once have you felt the need to report the outcome of your expedition or at least inform us you were still alive.

"It's a blatant act of disrespect to the Crown that alone calls for censure and that without even considering how much your stunt at the border with Chalal cost the Kingdom." Meron's eyes narrowed.

"You have stormed another country without permission, breaching the diplomatic treaties between the Kingdom and the free countries and creating a dangerous precedent that compromises our borders.

"On top of that, you have contributed to strengthening one of our fiercest rivals, tipping the power scale of Garlen against your people. I hope you have a good explanation and more to offer for the trouble you've caused than mere apologies.

"The Crown went to great lengths to protect your reputation after you lost control over your Abomination side and went insane. We have rescued your victims and covered the costs to rebuild what you have destroyed.

"You should have spared us a few minutes of your time for a call."

"Since we are cornered, I'd say that honesty is the only policy we can afford. At least, what passes for honesty in your head." She chuckled. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
