Supreme Magus novel Chapter 517

Lith and Solus spent the next few days apart, each trying to find a way to cope with the sense of inadequacy the absence of the other caused. Where Lith was bordering on impassivity, Solus was too emotional.

He was as strong willed as she was indecisive. Even when Tista had brought her shopping, Solus worried more about what Lith would say after checking the prices or about Tista’s opinion instead of focusing on her own needs.

Tista ended up buying her a lot of clothes that Solus wanted to return at first, only to then spend hours trying on each of them once they were back at the tower.

Lith was surprised when Jirni summoned him to house Ernas a few days before the party. He gladly accepted so that he could give her his gifts, but went to pick up Solus first. He was certain she would like to meet the Ernas girls again.

Also, he really missed her.

Neither of them shared the details about their days apart, and simply enjoyed the feeling of being whole again. Solus told him about her own room and the furniture she had chosen, but not bought, for it.

Since she could materialize almost anything within the tower’s premises, window shopping had been more than enough. As for Lith, he told her about Kamila’s issues with the gala and the presents they were about to offer Jirni. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

’You really are a cheapskate to the bone.’ She sighed.

’Couldn’t you just buy something for Kamila and Jirni instead of doing the gifts yourself? With all the money we have in our pocket dimension, it’s not like we’re poor.’ Solus felt a bit hypocritical, since she was borrowing Tista’s words.

The difference between them was that Lith really was stingy, whereas Solus felt guilty at spending the money they earned without his consent.

’It’s not being stingy so much as creative.’ Lith had been expecting her remark, so he had a rebuke ready.

’Anyone can buy a gift, but that’s impersonal. My creations, instead, express how well I know the person who receives them. Besides, feel free to check the market prices. Be they jewels or enchanted items, what I make is worth a lot.’

Solus had to admit that thanks to Zekell’s help, Lith was able to craft small masterpieces by using spirit magic as a mold. Yet it was his ability as a Healer that was truly priceless.

’I wonder why Jirni wants to meet you in person.’ Solus changed the topic, a bit sad at the idea that she couldn’t take part in the gala. Even if she had a human form and everyone accepted her as a friend, there was no mana geyser nearby.

’We are about to find out.’ Lith replied as they walked through the Ernas’s Gate. Jirni had never revoked the pass they had granted him back when he dated Phloria.

The room he stepped into was richly decorated for the incoming gala. A pleasant smell emanated from garlands were hung on the walls, but instead of being made of woven flowers or plants, they were made of gold and silver.

Several coat hangers were lined up against the walls along with sealed weapon racks for their esteemed guests. Most of them would only bring ceremonial weapons, but some members of the military would refuse to leave their arms home.

A single long carpet led from the Gate to the double doors of the main hall. It was blue and white, the colors of house Ernas’s coat of arms. Lith found a handmaid waiting for him.
