Supreme Magus - Chapter 609

Chapter 609
"There's no need . Do you remember the mana crystals I left in the tea room and the promise I made to your sister?" Lith asked .





Kamila nodded, yet she wasn't reassured by his words . Lith was too serious, he was clearly hiding something from her .

"I kept my word . I used the array to know when she was in danger and unleash a spell that reflected on Fallmug all he did to Zinya . He didn't harm a single hair of hers . "

"That's- great news . If everything is fine, then why the long face?" She asked .

"Kami, what I did is a crime . A blatant abuse of power made it worse by the fact that I left him alive . Now, I'm confessing my crime to you and entrusting you with the knowledge about a secret spell of mine at the same time .

"Do you understand how serious this is?" His words wiped the smile from her face .

"I understand . " She said after a moment of hesitation .

"You committed a crime to protect my sister and you're asking me if I can live with it, right? You're asking me if you can entrust your secrets to Kamila the girlfriend without Yehval the handler revealing them out of duty . "

Lith nodded, putting their relationship to the test for the first time . Just like he did with his academy's mates when he revealed to them his inhuman physical prowess . To him, it was a critical moment .

He had not told her all the truth so that if Kamila proved to be unworthy, he would risk nothing . A spell like the one he had described was out of a fairy tale, even a first year student would laugh at such a story .





Zinya had heard nothing while Fallmug's story would be completely different from Kamila's and even less believable . Not even Manohar could cover the distance from Lutia to Xylita in a matter of seconds .

"Thank you . " Kamila's voice was happy but broken . Small tears streamed down her face .

"Even though I have plenty of friends, I spent all my life alone because when push comes to shove, my burden was my own . When people heard about my problems, they would pity me and say a lot of nice words, but no one would do anything .

"Thank you for saving Zinya at all costs . Thank you for taking to heart a problem that's not even yours and putting your career at risk for me . " She sobbed, but she never stopped looking in his eyes .

"Most of all, thank you for trusting me so much . I don't care about my career . I'll do anything to protect your secret just like you did for me . " She hugged him, hiding her face on his shoulder, trembling like a puppy scared by a clap of thunder .

"You're welcome . " Lith replied, holding her tight .

"As I already told you before, being in a relationship means solving together problems that you wouldn't have alone . This means that sooner or later you'll get dragged into the mess that my life is . Are you up for that?" He asked .

"Yes, I am . " She said with all her heart . Yet Lith didn't shapeshift nor told her anything else . He just wiped the tears and the snot from her face before giving her a short, soft kiss .


'Now she's too clouded by her emotions . I have to wait until she is cool headed again . Only then I will see her true reaction . ' Lith thought . Words were meaningless to him, only actions mattered .





"Tomorrow I'm going to speak with Professor Vastor about your sister and probably I'll have her admitted at the White Griffon Hospital for the procedure . Do you want to come with me?" He held her face between his hands, gently caressing it .

"I wish I could, but I have to work . I shouldn't even be here . " She sniffed .

"I'll try to be there for the intervention . Please, keep me posted . "

Lith nodded in reply .

"Do you want to get out for dinner or do you want to stay at home?" He asked .

"I want to stay with you . " Was her reply . She refused to both release him from her embrace or stand up from his legs . Kamila felt like his arms were her castle and his heart was her sky . She wanted that moment to last forever .

"Are you sure that nothing happened to Zinya?" She asked .

"Absolutely . Not only did the spell protect her, but it also gave me a full check up of her condition . No harm came to her after our visit . " Lith's voice was so confident that it made Kamila's worries disappear .

Lith had a hard time preparing dinner while never letting her go, managing to do it solely thanks to spirit magic and fire vision . When he attempted to spoon-feed her, she couldn't repress her chuckle anymore .

"You're the least romantic man I've ever known . Couldn't this wait a few hours?"





"Maybe you are right, but I'm hungry and so are you . I can't feel the romance in the air with all this noise . " Both of their stomachs had grumbled for a while before Lith started to cook .

"I know . Stupid stomach . Always ruins everything . " It grumbled harder since she had refused the spoon and the smell of the food was delicious .

"You're too good a cook . It's all your fault if I get fat . " The first bite was enough to make Kamila realize that between her long day at work and all those emotions, she had worked quite an appetite .

"Hands off my plate, woman!" Lith rebuked her merrily as she exploited being on his legs to eat from both plates .

"Make me . " She said while feeding him .

***

The next morning Lith hadn't slept much, again, but he was definitely happy about his past night . Kamila had refused to let him go even during the morning shower, giving to his day a really pleasant start .

'One thing is for sure . If you two keep up like this, Kamila will lose weight fast . '

'Solus, that's dirty!' Lith rebuked her .

'Hello, pot . My name is kettle and I'm black . ' She sneered .

He left Belius for the White Griffon academy, where Professor Zogar Vastor and Quylla were waiting for him .

"Lith, my boy . It's so good to see you again . It would be much better if you didn't visit or call only when you need something, though . I know we are both busy men, but it's kind of rude anyway . "

"That's exactly what I told him, Professor . " Quylla nodded .

"I apologize to both of you . " Lith said, having a hard time to repress a sigh of annoyance .

"I've consulted all the material Quylla sent me and I'd like to hear your opinion about the different approaches I devised . "

"Hold your horses, Lith . No competent Healer would give their opinion based on a hologram, no matter how good it is . We need to see the patient . I've taken the liberty of setting the Gate's coordinates to Xylita already . " Vastor stood up abruptly .

How he managed to do it without wobbling despite his egg-shaped body was still a mystery to Lith . When they reached the Sarta household, the servants quaked in their boots, not daring to say anything .

One mage was terrifying, but three at once were the stuff nightmares were made of .
