Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3726

Chapter 3726: Law of Revenge (Part 1)

The babies knew that some foods were off limits for them, but since the grown-ups always made a big fuss about ice cream, Elysia and Valeron had learned to exploit the occasional chaos to snatch a bite.

The babies rarely shared it because it was hard to grab and quick to melt. On top of that, they had no dimensional pockets or amulets to store the ice cream before it would get discovered.

Elysia had made a fuss at the table earlier both to grab the ice cream and be brought to Valeron in time. She had used what little mana she had to isolate the ice cream in an air bubble and keep it cold with water magic.

It was a bit dirty and partially melted due to her poor magical skills, but she offered it to Valeron like the treasure it was to her.

"One thing I don’t understand, instead, is why women giggle with joy when we call them mom while men look terrified when we call them dad. Do you know why, big brother?"

"I don’t know." Valeron replied, turning into a Bahamut to accept her gift. "I really don’t."

The sweet of the ice cream mixed with the salty of his tears as Valeron licked it off Elysia’s hands.

In the following days, Valeron the Second kept refusing the company of everyone but Elina, Raaz, Surin, Elysia, and Thrud’s Divine Beasts. The baby boy had never distanced himself from Shargein, and now that Elysia was allowed to play with them again, the Wyrmling considered the matter solved.

Shargein loved Surin, but without Elysia and with Valeron always in a bad mood, the situation had quickly become boring. The baby girl never took part in their games, reserving herself the role of spectator, no matter how many times they invited her to join.

There was also little fun in talking with Surin. Aside from easy concepts like happiness, anger, hunger, cold, and hot, everything else seemed to go over her head. Because it did.

Surin was a normal human baby with a normal learning speed. Her dormant Divine Beast blood gave her no edge over other newborns. Shargein and Valeron didn’t know it, however, considering themselves to be the norm. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Shargein thought Valeron and Elysia to be less smart than him, but at least they learned fast, whereas Surin was slow at everything. She didn’t walk, run, or fly, and even though Shargein had noticed a clear improvement in Surin’s cognitive functions as she grew older, it was nothing compared to Valeron and Elysia.

Worst of all, no one explained to Shargein what had happened between Valeron and the rest of the family. Whatever it was, it deeply saddened Leegaain, and no matter what the Wyrmling tried, the Guardian’s mood didn’t improve.

Salaark had never been turned away by Valeron as well, which made matters only more confusing to Shargein. The Overlord had played no role in the War of the Griffons and had taken care of Valeron since his rescue.

To him, she was as innocent as Elina, Raaz, and Thrud’s Divine Beasts. Salaark had lied by omission, but her love and care were just that. Love and care.

Valeron’s feelings for her weren’t tainted by the doubts and resentment that he felt for Leegaain and Tyris.

The two Guardians weren’t allowed anywhere near the baby boy unless he needed Leegaain’s help to communicate with those without Dragon Scales.
