Supreme Magus novel Chapter 929

Chapter 929 Upside Down Part 1

’I don’t want Lith suffering Phloria’s same fate. Neither of them deserves such treatment, but at least she has several powerful households supporting her. I’m just a farmer who lives in the house my son built and cultivates the lands he bought.

’Aside from my unconditional love, there’s nothing I can offer to him.’ Raaz thought.

His disappointment was in good company, but it turned into confusion after Lith asked Zinya to take Leria and Aran home with her. The confusion was replaced by amazement less than a minute later when Selia knocked on their door.

No one had seen the huntress for five years, since her sudden and mysterious disappearance during Lith’s fourth year at the White Griffon academy. Not only did she seem to not have aged a day, but she was also in the company of a red-haired giant who she introduced as her husband.

"Oh Selia, I’m so happy to see you again." Elina said while hugging her long-lost friend. "You had me worried sick. How could you leave like that, without saying goodbye or even leaving a note?"

Selia Fastarrow was supposed to be in her late-thirties, yet she looked to be barely past her mid-twenties. She was still 1.7 (5’7") meters tall and her skin was tanned from the years of long exposure to the sun.

Her black hair was now longer than the last time Elina had seen her, reaching her shoulders and giving her a gentler look. She wore a heavy fur coat over a cream-colored dress and snow boots.

Lith was amazed seeing Selia’s sharp eyes become veiled with tears of emotion, but even more by seeing her wearing a skirt for the first time in his life.

’She never wore a dress nor make up for you.’ Solus thought. ’Selia must be really desperate to make a good impression on your family. After all, if they have trouble accepting your hybrid nature, there’s no way she can fit back in your lives.’

"I’m so sorry, Elina. I really hope you can forgive me for what I did." Selia said amid tears.

"Of course I can, Selia. The only thing that really matters is that now you’re home now." Elina’s surprise grew, noticing how emotional the huntress was.

Not even Selia had predicted how many memories returning to Lutia after so many years would have stirred inside her heart. Everything was different yet identical to how she remembered it.

The fields covered in snow, the scent of the Trawn woods carried by the wind, and the voices of the only people she had ever considered like her family made her guts tie in a knot.

Elina welcoming Selia home had been the final blow that made her emotional walls crumble. The fact that their respective houses were nearly identical didn’t help her keep her cool either.

"I can’t believe this oaf lacks even a spark of originality." She sobbed harder as all eyes moved on the oaf by her side, waiting for an explanation to the odd remark.

"She speaks the truth. I don’t." Ryman scratched his head in embarrassment.

After he had found a proper place where to settle down, equally distant from Faluel’s lair and from a human settlement, Protector wanted to give his wife the perfect home. He had received so much from Selia, and after forcing her to leave Lutia, her happiness was his first priority.

The problem was that he had no idea what made a human home comfortable, so he had built their love nest based on the projects stored inside Lith’s memories. The only changes made to the original design were those Selia had requested him.

While the rest of the family welcomed Selia, half shocked and half moved from the sudden reunion, Lith shook hands with Protector.

"How do you feel, Lith?" Ryman asked with his usual stoic voice.
