Supreme Magus novel Chapter 748

To make everything fit, the only thing they had to lie about was how much mana was left in the Reactor.

Once Lith went to meet his guest, he was surprised to see that Constable Griffon had come to see them in person.

Not only because sending a member of the Royal Family was a clear indicator of how serious the events of Kulah were considered by the army’s upper echelons, but also because a Constable meant more an interrogation rather than a report.

Lith wasn’t worried. Phloria knew what to say because they had discussed the matter when he had gone visiting her the previous day, and even if Quylla was still on the fences about how to react to his nature, she had just proved how much she cared for him.

The butler led Lith to the Tea Room for esteemed guests, where Jirni, Orion, Phloria, and Constable Ernas were waiting for him. It wasn’t the Tea Room the family normally used, its furniture was more formal and the seats more spaced between them. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Comfortable padded red sofas and chairs were arranged around a white elliptical oak low table. A soft white and silver carpet covered the floor, preventing the moving chairs from making noise and muffling all the sounds that the servitude might make while serving the guests so that nothing could disturb the conversation.

The east wall consisted of a glass wall that allowed the morning sun to illuminate the room and make the many silvery ornaments spread throughout the room shine like jewels. On the west wall, there was a huge fireplace surmounted by a huge mirror with a golden frame that covered most of the wall.

Lady Tyris was exactly as Lith remembered her, time didn’t seem to have any effect on her appearance. Finding the whole family assembled for the report was quite odd, but Lith hoped that it was just the deference an old bloodline was supposed to show to a member of the royal family.

Tyris Griffon wore the uniform of a Royal Constable and was 1.76 (5’9") meters tall. She was a woman in her mid-twenties, or so it seemed. There was something about her that made her look young yet ancient at the same time.

She had shining golden hair braided into a tress long enough to be twisted and knotted above her head resembling a crown. Her silver eyes sparkled like stars under the morning sunlight.

Most men found her beauty intoxicating, but to Lith it was unsettling. Such a degree of perfection in her forms, in the symmetry of her features, was simply too good to be true.

He gave her a deep bow the moment their eyes met, using it as an opportunity to hide his suspicions and wear his usual poker face. Much to everyone’s surprise, Lady Tyris stood up at his arrival and offered him her hand.

"Ranger Verhen, I had heard that your injuries were quite severe. I’m glad to see that you’re recovering so well." She said with a dazzling smile.

The moment Lith shook her hand, Tyris used Mother Earth, her version of Invigoration, to scan both hybrids at the same time. Mogar seemed to be interested in Solus as much as she was interested in Lith, so it was time to give to Menadion’s Desperation the attention she deserved.

The black hybrid’s mind was a shattered, incomplete puzzle, the pieces of which were fighting to fit each other without falling apart. Some cracks had disappeared, empty gaps between spaces were now filled by small yet growing pieces, showing the healing process Lith was still undergoing.

The white hybrid’s mind, instead, was whole, but with multiple cracks that seemed to have grown over time. Just like Mogar had told her Guardians, Solus’s memory loss coupled with the lack of a physical body had prevented her to have any semblance of normality in her life and had deeply affected her mental state.
