Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3728

Chapter 3728: Mother and Daughter (Part 1)

What had worried Menadion was the fact that Lith hadn’t been honest with anyone but Solus.

Nobody, not even his parents, had ever suspected the truth. Only Solus, Kalla, and her weird offspring knew about his past life on Earth until Lith had been forced to come clean with Kamila.

Solus knew about it and was perfectly fine with it. Useless to say, it made her relationship with Lith much, much more unsettling for Menadion’s taste.

"Really?" Silverwing snorted. "You didn’t think like that the last time we met. When did things change and how?"

"A few days ago." Not wanting to waste time with a long speech, Menadion shared her memories of the fight against the fourteen Awakened with the white cores via a mind link.

They watched the entire battle unfold from start to finish through Menadion’s eyes and perceived the shift in her feelings as the events progressed. The First Ruler of the Flames also showed her friends her following conversation with Solus and her plans for the future.

"Have you gone insane, Ripha?" Silverwing’s eyes widened in shock. "You can’t trust Vehren. Maybe you can’t even trust yourself. How can you be sure that what you are feeling right now isn’t just something he forced onto you through his black chains?"

"Don’t be silly, Lochra." Menadion snorted. "You know how Demons work. Lith only has as much control over me as I allow him to. He didn’t force me to come back. I wanted to. I rescued Epphy because she’s my daughter.

"I inhabited one of his Void Sigils because I can’t abandon her again. I haven’t taught him anything that I wouldn’t have taught Epphy as part of her legacy. If I wanted to, I could move on right now, and there’s nothing he can do to stop me.

"Gods, Lith hasn’t made me Forgemaster stuff to sell or tried to force me to upgrade the pieces of the Apprentice Set in his friends’ possession."

"Because you can’t." Silverwing countered pointedly. "You are still catching up with modern magic, and your skills are limited."

"Nonsense." Menadion denied the allegations with a sweep of her hand. "Anything is better than seven hundred years old junk, and between Sally’s and Yaga’s Creation Magic, he wouldn’t waste a single coin in the process."

"Fine." Silverwing begrudgingly conceded the point. "I still think you’re making a big mistake. I know Epphy likes him and is entangled in this weird three-person relationship, but how do you know she isn’t forced into it?

"How do you know years ago he hasn’t planted some order in her mind via the mind link you couldn’t hear? There are too many things we don’t know and won’t learn until Epphy is free from him."

"You’re wrong, Lochra." Menadion replied. "All you have are mistrust and doubts, whereas I have certainties. If Lith were such a pervert, then why didn’t he use Epphy to spy on girls when he was a horny teenager?

"Why didn’t he send her to listen to the conversations of the women he liked to get what he wanted without putting in much effort? Why hasn’t he touched Epphy once, not even when she was at her most vulnerable or he was single?

"I’ve seen him turn down countless suitors before and after he became a Ranger. As his status and rank grew, women threw themselves at his feet, and he ignored them. If you were right, Lochra, Lith would have had many flings and forced Epphy to silence.
