Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3506

"Why? Do you want an autograph or do you have something you want to tell me, young man?" Varn was actually older than Lith but the height gap was enough to make him feel like a boy.

Between Lith’s status and his nasty reputation that the original citizens of Lutia liked to keep alive, Varn felt his soul abandoning his body. The color drained from his face and his knees went soft.

"I don’t think it can work between us, Brina. I’m sorry." Varn turned around and ran like his life depended on it.

"I knew it was too good to be true." Brina sighed in disappointment. "Finding a good man is hard, but when you find someone who seems perfect there must be a catch."

Brina was approaching the 24 years of age and was in a rush to find a husband. Past 25 she would be considered a spinster and become the target of even more gold diggers.

Despite his many flaws, Vexal was a good businessman and now had three bakeries in Lutia. As the city expanded, not everyone could afford a horse or to walk for an hour just to buy some bread.

Vexal had bought out the competition and replaced it with his most trusted apprentices who had gained enough experience in making bread and dealing with customers by working with him. Continue reading on freewebnovel

Vexal was worth a lot of money now and, as the heir to the family business, so was Brina. She had many suitors, but most of them were only interested in what she had to offer.

"Thanks for helping me with the selection process." Brina sighed.

"It’s not like I do much. I just stand there and glare at them as you claim we are good friends." Lith shrugged.

"What a mean thing to say! We are friends." Brina slapped his shoulder with minimal force.

She had learned the hard way what happened when a human hit a Divine Beast already.

"No, we are not. I just buy your bread." Lith shook his head. "And you should be happy about it. Being the Supreme Magus is not all flowers and rainbows. My friends are under constant threat and need protection.

"Don’t you remember what happened to Zinya Yehval? Her house was razed to the ground twice and she almost died both times."

"Yeah, but she got acquainted with an Archmage who ended up marrying her." Brina replied. "It’s the happy ending of a wonderful love story if you ask me."

Lith looked at her like she was crazy.

"Come on, Lith. Give me a hand. Is there anyone you can introduce to me? I don’t ask much. I just want a good man. I don’t care if he’s a little weird or awkward. I’d prefer a human, but at this point even a Dragon is fine."

"Like you could get yourself a Dragon." Lith scoffed. "They are very picky and have a long lifespan, you know?"

"That’s it! You really are a meanie. Isn’t that right, kids?" Brina asked and Valeron and Elysia shook their heads in reply. "Be honest with me. Do you think I screwed up by turning Nalrond down?"

A few years back, Brina had gone on a single date with the Rezar. She had cut him off after learning about his magic powers and potentially dangerous life.

"Big time." Lith replied with such enthusiasm that it irked Brina to no end. "But don’t worry. A woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure. Lady Ernas asked me to thank you on her behalf if the subject ever arose."

"Lady Ernas? The Archduchess?" Brina went pale, pulling her Tablet out and conjuring the hologram of Quylla, the most notorious of the two sisters.
