Chapter 3365 Cover Story (Part 2)

Then, the thought that she would lose every comparison with Elina hit her, and her competitive spirit dismissed the idea.

"I want to be left alone but I don't want to have a fake husband." She sighed. "He should make an appearance in Lutia from time to time and I don't have it in myself to pretend I love him.

"For you, Threin is dead for centuries but to me, it was just yesterday. I spent the last seven hundred years resisting his call and missing him every single day. Even kissing another man on the cheek would be a slap to Threin's memory"

"Then we'll tell the truth and introduce you as a widow." Elina took Menadion's hands in her own. "That's something the people of Lutia will understand and respect. Just don't mention the seven hundred years part."

"Will do." Menadion chuckled. "Fair warning, I've always been a recluse and I'm socially awkward. I mean, I can handle Awakened but the last regular human I've talked to was my husband."

"I'll keep both my eyes on you, then." Elina nodded. "Do you have any plans or can I give you a tour of the place today?"

"No plans. When do we leave?"

"One moment, I'm terrible with time zones." Elina took two pocket watches out of her dimensional amulet, one set on the Desert's palace and the other on Lutia. "It's already lunchtime there so I'd say in a couple of hours.

"Otherwise we'd disturb our friends and find most of the shops closed."

"Good." Ripha gestured to Elina to sit in front of her. "It should be enough to set down the basics of our relationships."

"What do you mean?" Elina was puzzled.

"Like, what's my name? What do you think of me? How deep is our relationship? Why didn't you bring me to Lutia before even though Solus has lived with you for over a year now? How did my husband die? And I can go on."

"Oh, dear." Just the thought gave Elina a headache. "We'd better start working on that, then."

Two hours later, the Warp Gate in Lith's barn opened and the Verhens walked through it.

"Grandpa Zekell! I want to check that Grandpa Zekell is alright. Leria said.

"He's fine, dear" Rena pointed at the rune on the communication amulet. "If anything had happened to him, we would have been notified by the Queen's Guards protecting

him."

"Please, Mom!" Leria pointed at Abominus and then at the barn's doors.

"Fine, you can go first." Rena sighed. "But have Abominus shapeshift into a Ry or he'll give people even more heart attacks than usual,"

In his Pyrmir form, Abominus was taller than a horse and bigger than a carriage. His knife-long fangs and the frost crystals in his mane gave him an even more unsettling appearance.

"I'm right here, you know?" He said. "You could have just asked me."

"Thanks, Mom!" Leria jumped on Abominus' back and galloped toward Lutia, followed by Aran on the Shyf-looking Onyx.

The families of the Demons had moved to the Desert on the same day as the Verhens. They knew about Ripha's return since Lith had brought her back and had been already informed about her current disguise so the first home Elina visited was Selia's.

"Elina?" The huntress said in surprise after opening the door. "Lith, you scoundrel! You had me worried sick. I had to learn from the King that you were alright and... Is she Menadion?"

The petite woman in a sundress in front of her looked nothing like the armored Forgemaster in the broadcast but the resemblance with Solus was still evident.

"Yes to all." Elina chuckled. "Selia, this is Ripha Menadion, Solus' mother. We'll introduce her as Rhona Verhen or she won't be able to take a step outside the door without being pestered.

"Ripha, this s our friend Selia, her husband Protector/Ryman, and their children Lilia, Leran, and Fenrir."
