Supreme Magus novel Chapter 966

Chapter 966 The Arisen Part 2

Sylpha sidestepped, now holding the Sword of Saefel with both hands and keeping its tip against the ground while Meron walked in front of the newly appointed Archmage and placed a wreath comprised of the plumes of a golden Griffon upon his head.

"Stand tall, Archmage Verhen. This is the last time I will force you to bend the knee. Unless you become a Magus, of course." Meron chuckled as he patted Lith’s shoulders and helped him to get up.

The King’s silvery laugh made the whole room burst into tears. Some out of joy, most out of despair.

’Fuck me sideways times two. What’s the average age for an Archmage?’ Lith thought.

’For a new magical bloodline with no fief of their own, around seventy.’ Solus replied.

Only then did Lith manage to snap out of his reverie and turn around. He noticed his entire family coming from a side room, all wearing their best clothes and the jewels he had forged for them along with the Camellias.

Elina and Raaz had to rely on each other to not fall onto the ground, unable to even stand up properly on their own. Jirni and Orion quickly went to their rescue while Lith’s sister and Kamila walked towards him.

’Why the heck didn’t you warn me if you knew what was going on?’ Lith asked. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

’I tried, but even a single door of the Royal Palace is so heavily enchanted that it blocks our mind link.’ She said.

"I would have loved to let your parents witness the ceremony, but during every rehearsal, your father cried so hard that he would drown out my magically enhanced voice. I felt bad forcing them to repress their feelings, so I had your parents spectate from a side room." Queen Sylpha said.

King Meron patted Lith’s shoulder and the armor turned into a deep blue robe that identified him as an Archmage.

"Congratulations, Lith." Marth, Vastor, Orion, Mirim Distar, and Jirni almost said in unison.

"My condolences." Manohar said, his eyes veiled with sad tears. "Now you will never know peace. Men will covet your power and women your loins. Idiots will interrupt your research at all hours and..."

King Meron’s glared at the god of healing when Manohar pointed at him while talking about idiots, but it was Jirni clicking her tongue that shut him up.

The scene was funny enough to momentarily stop the flow of Raaz’s tears and replace them with chuckles, but no one else was actually laughing.

None of those present missed how Lady Distar, the Ernas, and even the magicless Verhen family were able to stand and move whereas everyone else was still kneeling. The arrays even kept the spectators from uttering a single word, making them feel like extras looking at the main actors on the stage.

Velan Deirus could only look up to those favored by the Royals while Jirni winked at her enemies.

"Not to question the infinite wisdom of Your Majesty-" Lith said.

"I feel a ’but’ incoming." Sylpha giggled like a mother listening to a naïve child’s question. The familiarity and closeness that she was displaying with Lith were a message that only someone as shocked as he could miss.

"-but am I not too young for such a title?" Lith was unaware of the political gears that threatened from behind the scenes all he had worked hard to build.

He believed that becoming an Archmage when barely past eighteen would compromise his position in the Kingdom. Of course, he was wrong. The ceremony made him a pillar of his country and had allowed the Royals to make all his past achievements public.
