Chapter 3685: It’s Molting Time (Part 2)
“It is.” Lith countered in mild indignance. “The deep green marks the threshold of stable tier three magic and allows the practice of tier four. You were a magica and now you are a mage! Welcome into our ranks, Kamila Verhen.”
Lith gave her a deep bow that made her giggle.
“Thanks, Lith Verhen. I have to admit that when you put it this way, this breakthrough is quite the milestone.” She replied with a curtsy.
“Not quite a milestone, but a huge milestone.” Lith tutted. “You forget that, along with your success, today our little Ral demonstrated three elemental affinities. Also, if his growth helped your core development, it means he’s Awakened as well.”
“Oh, gods, you are right! I was so stunned that I missed that.” Kamila brought her hands to her womb, smiling from the heart.
“Shame on you!” Salaark, Leegaain, and even Tyris chided her from a distance. “How can a mother not notice such a thing?”
“Can’t you leave us alone for one moment?” Suddenly, Kamila didn’t find the Guardians’ meddling funny anymore.
“Don’t call our names if you don’t want us to answer!” They replied.
“By the way, I call dibs on organizing the party.” Leegaain’s voice said.
“No, you don’t, old lizard.” Salaark’s voice snorted. “I know you just want an opportunity for a ‘casual’ talk with Ral!”
“There’s nothing to discuss. This is my turf, so I’m going to be the host. Period.” Tyris’s voice chimed in. freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Good to know. Can you continue this conversation somewhere else, please?” Lith snarled.
“Oops. I forgot to mute the mind link on your side. Sorry.” Leegaain said, and the room became silent again.
“Mute?” Lith echoed. “As in, they are constantly watching and commenting on everything we do and say?”
“As they said, don’t ask questions if you don’t want answers.” Kamila shuddered at the thought. “Still, Ral already has three affinities! And he’s Awakened!”
“Exactly. He can develop more as he grows, like Elysia did.” Lith nodded. “We need to throw him a party, but there’s someone already doing it for us. All we can do is have a private celebration.”
He turned the music on and gave Kamila a deep, passionate kiss.
“Wait!” She stopped him curtly.
“I’m sorry, Kami. Are you tired from the breakthrough? Do you need to shower?” Lith had forgotten for a moment how unpleasant the breakthrough of one’s mana core was.
“I’m fine and didn’t shed one drop of impurities.” She shook her head. “Just turn off the lights, and you guys turn around!”
Lith would have found seeing his wife talking to the ceiling funny, if he didn’t know better.
“I’m not joking!” Kamila continued. “And by turn around, I mean 180 degrees sharp. Don’t be smart with me and make a full spin.”
‘Damn, she’s smart!’ Leegaain said to his peers via the mind link.
‘The girl figured us out.’ Salaark clicked her tongue.
‘What’s wrong with you guys?’ Tyris, the only one who had actually given Lith and Kamila privacy, was shocked and flabbergasted by the other Guardians’ behavior.
‘I’m bored.’ Leegaain replied.
‘And they are very creative.’ Salaark added. ‘We’ve taken a few pages from their roleplay book and-‘
‘Too much information! Forget I asked.’ Deep down in the Royal Castle in Valeron, in the isolation of her keep, Tyris blushed wildly.

After Lith and Kamila were done celebrating, they went to share the good news with the rest of the family. News of the three affinities of the baby boy spread like wildfire, and after the public celebrations, Lith and Solus had to grade their Void Magic students.
