Supreme Magus novel Chapter 670

’Am I worried because I’m older than him or it’s just my insecurity talking?’ Kamila thought, a second before turning beet reed for apparently no reason. ’What’s wrong with me? We have never even talked about marriage and I’m already worrying about how many children we should have?’

"Kami, are you feeling alright? You seem a bit off." Lith said, snapping her out of the chaos her mind had become.

"I’m perfectly fine, thanks. I’m just worried about Zinya." Happy to change the topic, Kamila told him all about the divorce and Fallmug’s disappearance.

’I don’t pay the bastard a visit since the mission started. I hope he doesn’t get the wrong idea and thinks to be off the hook.’ Lith thought. ’I really hope he tries something funny near my home. Between the arrays and the Queen’s corps, they’ll pick up his remains with a teaspoon.’

"I’m more worried about you. Being a civil servant, most of your information is public. Fallmug must know that the easiest way to get to Zinya is through you. Be on your guard, always." He said.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine." Kamila was both flattered and happy by how concerned he was about her safety. She was more than able to take care of herself, especially now that she was a Field Assistant, but being pampered a little after such a long separation felt nice.

"Belius has so many safety measures that even if Fallmug comes there, there’s not much he can do. Besides, I’ve been staying at the Ernas Household for a while. I doubt even he would be so foolish to attack me there."

"What? Why?" Lith asked.

"Officially, for my training, so that Archon Ernas can teach me how to arrange the work from home when necessary and teach me everything I need about Constable’s codes away from prying eyes. Off the record, the Ernas feel lonely with all their daughters away.

"I suppose they want some company or maybe they were hoping for something like this to happen. You know, you calling me so that they had the opportunity to speak with Phloria and Quylla. How are they?"

"Given the circumstances, I’d say they’re doing fine. Quylla is the one struggling the most. She can’t stand remaining on the sidelines, but she knows that she can’t help us in a fight. As for Phloria, she has to make tough calls almost every day.

"Luckily for me, I’m just a Ranger. The Professors know they stuff but are too arrogant, they- Never mind. I can’t talk about that. We would both end in trouble and I don’t want to endanger your career." He said with a warm smile.

"Speaking of Rangers, how is he?" Kamila asked.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ranger Eari, the beast-man."

"The what?"

"Beast-man. They call him like that because there was a year when he never took a single day leave and when he finally returned to civilization, he behaved more like a magical beast than a human."

"He is indeed odd." Lith replied, wondering if Morok was just a man rude enough to act like a beast or simply a beast shapeshifted into a man.

When they finished talking, Kamila gave the amulet to Jirni. By that time, the prisoner was already dead by more than half an hour. Jirni had taken care of piercing the corpse’s heart and brain before beheading it.

There were rumors about necromancy techniques capable of extracting the memories from the recently deceased and Archon Ernas liked to err on the side of safety whenever state secrets were involved.

There were people who would pay a small fortune to get access even to a daily password.

"They both almost died more than once. Quylla is putting up a tough act, but I think she feels guilty for failing to save our fallen comrades. Phloria, instead has a few problems with deciding who lives and who dies." Lith could openly talk with Jirni. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
