Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3382

Jirni had prepared a country house for each of her daughters and setting the private Warp Gate was the finishing touch. Obtaining the necessary authorizations to connect a Gate to the Kingdom’s Network and building it cost money.

There was no point spending such a hefty sum unless Friya and Quylla moved out of the family home for good. Since Quylla had the pass for the Verhen Mansion, she could open the dimensional corridor safely from her side.

"I can’t believe you really came!" She welcomed Lith, Solus, and Kamila with a hug. "I wasn’t expecting to see you until an emergency happened, my mother gives birth, or I do. To what do I owe the pleasure of having the elusive Supreme Magus in my humble abode?"

"I just wanted to check on you and Garrik." Lith replied. "I’m sorry for abandoning him and Ryla like that but as you know, I didn’t have much of a choice."

"Actually, you had." Quylla shrugged. "Nothing stopped you from visiting them after you rescued Solus. You took your sweet time. Not that I’m complaining." She said with a smug grin on her face.

"Why the smug grin?" Solus asked.

"Because Ophya and Vyla moved here as well. They are a great help and it’s Lith who’s paying for their work."

"What do you mean, a great help, and what are they doing here?" Lith was flabbergasted.

"They are Awakened who have served under a relatively old Dragon all their lives." Quylla shrugged. "What Syrook taught them and what they have learned by observing him work is of great value for a self-taught Awakened like me.

"I exchange my limited knowledge for theirs and allow them to use my research facilities. It’s a win-win. Also, they are helping me set the nursery for the babies and teaching me everything they have learned from taking care of Valeron the Second."

"Why rely on Ophya and Vyla for parental advice? Couldn’t you ask Jirni or Orion?" Solus asked.

"Please, you can’t ask my mother for advice, only for orders." Quylla scoffed. "I’m going to do things my way and give my babies a normal childhood. As for my father, I would love to, but he’s too busy setting up whatever Mom needs from him."

"I see, but that still doesn’t answer the second part of my question." Lith pointed out.

"Ophya, Vyla. Lith wants to know what you are doing here." Quylla called the handmaidens from her communication amulet.

"The job you promised us." Ophya wore a black maid uniform that emphasized the blonde of her hair and her clear blue eyes. "Whenever you move to the Blood Desert you have no need for us. Here, instead, we can feel useful and learn in a day what takes us months in the Desert."

"She’s right." Vyla said, her loose long black hair framing her green eyes. "The people of the Overlord are always polite and try to put us at ease. Quylla’s slaves, instead, are rude and never hesitate to point fingers at us or whisper behind our backs whenever we make a social blunder."

"First, I don’t have slaves, they are house staff." Quylla blushed up to her ears. "Second, they are not rude. Even noble guests are expected to adhere to certain standards of etiquette when visiting the Ernas household, let alone hired help.

"It’s perfectly normal for my maids and butlers to be bewildered when you act clueless about the most elementary of things or treat the masters of the house like your peers!"

"Sounds rude to me." Lith shrugged.

"See? Even Lith agrees with us." Ophya said. "Besides, why should we be respectful towards ants? Even Lith never put restrictions on us and he’s a Divine Beast."

"That’s right." He nodded. "In my household, we’re all friends and… Wait, what do you mean, even Lith?"

"Are you calling me an ant?" Quylla was as outraged as him.
