Supreme Magus novel Chapter 519

\"Don’t worry, between her prices and her travels, Hossa is a flash in the pan. Once she’s gone, everyone will return to their senses and stop wasting money.\"

Lith attempted to take her hands again to perform the treatment, but Jirni stopped him.

\"That can wait. I didn’t call you for your gifts, nor just for cosmetic magic. I need your assistance with a couple of things. First, since you are good with holograms, I’d like your help to make the event memorable.\"

\"I’ve already tried to ask Manohar, but he ran away the moment he heard my voice over the communicator and I’m not going to chase him over such a trivial matter.\"

\"Consider it done.\" Lith nodded.

\"Second, I’m worried about the girls’ boyfriends, especially Phloria’s.\"

Those words stung at Lith’s heart and Jirni rejoiced for it.

\"What’s the matter with him?\" He had suddenly found his old glare back.

\"His name is Kallion Nuragor. He’s a powerful mage from a noble family that has done nothing bad in the recent past but nothing good either. I have a strong suspicion that he’s just using her.

\"If anything happens to Gunyin, my oldest son, Phloria is the next in the line of succession. I can’t rest easy until I discover the game he’s playing.\"

\"Have you told Phloria?\" Lith clenched his hands hard enough to turn his knuckles white.

\"What for? If you were in her shoes, would you listen to your paranoid and manipulative mother? Besides, forbidding a relationship is the best way a parent has to make it thrive. Phloria needs to burn her hand to learn her lesson.\"

Lith had to admit that she was right.

\"What do you want me to do?\" Lith asked.

\"I’m sorry to have to ask this of you, but I need you to do nothing.\" Jirni sighed.

\"What do you mean, nothing?\"

\"If I’m right, Kallion will try to provoke you. Nothing big, just enough to look good at your expense. You’re going to become the youngest Spellbreaker of your generation. Ever since the plague in Kaduria, you’ve kept stealing the old noble households’ spotlight.

\"There are many who resent you for that and would do anything to destroy your reputation. Whatever Kallion does or says, I need you to stay calm and endure. I’ll do the rest.\"

\"What about Friya and Quylla?\"

\"Quylla may have gotten herself another gold digger. His name is Anathor Voross. He is an Assistant Professor at the White Griffon and comes from a minor noble family. His background check is clean, but he’s been avoiding me too much.

\"I’m afraid he is just playing with her feelings. I need you to grill him in my stead. Quylla will not be on guard against you. She loves you like the brother she always wanted. As for Friya, alas, she’s got no one. Can you introduce someone to her?\"

\"Sorry, but no. In my line of work, I don’t get to know many people and Kamila mostly has female friends.\" Lith shrugged.
