Supreme Magus novel Chapter 520

\"She’s right, dear.\" Elina said. \"We’re already on edge, don’t make things even harder for us.\" She was wearing a silk satin cream colored ballgown which left her shoulders and arms exposed and had a square neck.

The others joined her plea, forcing him to shut up. Lith was very nervous too and couldn’t wait for the Gala to be over. Meeting Phloria again after so much time was a bittersweet event to him, especially since now they had both moved on.

Things with Solus weren’t great either. Lith was happy seeing her grow as a person, but at the same time, he was sad at not being able to spend as much time together as before.

Solus now spent her free time in her own room, receiving her friends rather than being around him like in the past. Tista, Kalla, and even her vampire daughter, Nyka, visited Solus whenever they had a chance. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

It always happened when Lith was spending time with Kamila, so that Solus wasn’t forced to hole up in her ring to give them some privacy.

’Am I jealous?’ Lith thought while being careful so that Solus couldn’t hear him.

’I never took Solus for granted, yet I would have never expected that being separated from her even just from time to time could be so painful. Heck, if she ever gets a body, things will become even more complicated.’

’I can only hope that Solus is faring better than me and she doesn’t have conflicting feelings about our situation like I do.’ Lith thought.

Unfortunately, she had realized their problem long before he did and wasn’t any closer than Lith to finding a solution. As for Solus’s feelings, calling them a mess was an understatement.

The more time they spent apart, the more she understood how badly she lacked in every social aspect.

Tista had been schooling both Nyka and her about how to act in human society, but despite all the time she had spent watching Lith from the sidelines, the only thing she was better at than the vampire, was keeping her clothes on.

Nyka had gotten used to living with the customs of an undead beast, making personal hygiene optional and her dress code non existent. She would say anything that came to her mind, no matter how rude, and was completely oblivious of her body language, just like Solus.

They would both yawn whenever the topic at hand bored them and eat like starving beasts. Nyka because she had no concept of cutlery, Solus because she would become so engrossed in discovering new flavors that she would forget her manners.

’I would have never imagined that being polite could be so hard.’ Solus inwardly sighed. ’Because of our mind link, I’m not used to sugarcoating my words nor hiding my feelings. I’m a terrible liar, I did it only once and I’m still regretting it.’ She thought.

’Yet human interactions are mostly based on deception. Even Tista says that my honesty is refreshing at first, but soon becomes obnoxious. To make matters worse, the few humans who I’ve met in the Trawn woods all ran away screaming.

’No matter how pretty my dress is or how kind I am, I’m nothing but a monster in their eyes.’

While Solus and Lith were brooding about their problems, their stagecoach finally reached the Ernas ancestral home. It was Kamila’s first time seeing something so magnificent.

The manor was surrounded by high white crystal walls, which generated an array that prevented anyone from flying or Warping past its boundaries without the use of a special amulet.

Their coachman showed his ID to the guards stationed at the gates, who in turn lifted an amulet over their heads. It emitted a ray of light that resonated with coachman’s uniform first, then his papers, and lastly the entire stagecoach.
