Chapter 3958: Part of Your World (Part 1)

"Please, let me know when you make your decision."

"Don’t be silly, Selia." Elina stopped the huntress while she dragged her yowling children away from the window. "You’re a friend, and there will always be a hot meal and a place for you in this house."

"Thanks, Elina, but-" The children’s cheers of joy at the mention of food made Selia wish Mogar would kill her on the spot. "I accept your offer."

Lilia, Leran, and Fenrir ran inside and grabbed a plate, filling it with the extra servings left in the pot and wolfing them down with the enthusiasm of a pack of starving wolves.

"What are you eating, Auntie Quylla?" Leran asked.

"Mutton." She replied.

"Chop or fillet?" Lilia tilted her head, confused by the many different cuts of cooked meat piled up on Quylla’s plate.

"She’s being modest." Morok said, drawing Quylla’s scowl. "She’s not eating mutton. She’s eating a mutton."

The Verhens’ return to the Mansion was welcomed by Garrik and Ryla with enthusiasm and followed by an improvised game that the children played with the help of their magical beasts.

Aran and Leria used the Warp Gate to visit Zekell whenever they wanted, and Lith returned to his home in Lutia when he needed peace and quiet.

Still, the Mansion had much more space, was better protected, and its mana geyser added the tower to Lith’s arsenal. The situation turned for the worse as the weather turned colder and heavy rains stopped everyone from leaving the house.

"This sucks." Aran stared at the Trawn Woods, so close yet far out of his reach. "How did we spend so many months holed up at home in the past?"

"Easy, we didn’t have any other choice." Leria replied while using Accumulation out of boredom. "Wait until the windstorms or the snow arrives. Then we won’t step foot outside for more than a couple of hours every few days at best."

"I like the company, though." Garrik said with a wide smile as he practiced with his bloodline abilities and wings under Ryla’s guidance.

"Me too!" Lilia and Leran chased Shargein along the vast corridors of the Mansion while Solkar tussled with any shoe left unchecked he found.

"Same." Selia extended her legs on a footstool. "I can sit down and relax again."

"I have an offer that should make everyone happy." Lith walked inside the room while the hologram projected by his communication amulet faded away. "I’ve just received Rem’s invitation to take part in the inauguration of the merfolk’s surface village.

"It’s in the Blood Desert, so we’d have all the space the kids want to roam free, warm weather, and Grandma’s protection. If something happens and the Royals need me, I’d be still one Warp Gate away."

"This is an interesting proposition." Jirni had already grown tired of being restricted to the Mansion’s park for her outings, and with the arrival of the bad weather, her prison had shrunken further. "I’d love a change of scenery. What about you, dear?"

"I have no objections." Orion replied. "I still have some work to do at the Ernas Household, but as Lith said, we have Warp Gates."

Orion had recently regained the bright violet and needed a secluded place to put his newfound physical and magical abilities to the test. Also, he could finally harness the full power of the Ernas Household’s defensive system again and enhance its enchantments with his newfound Awakened prowess.

’By now, the Gernoff must have exploited our absence to collect all the information they need to storm the current Ernas Household.’ Jirni thought. ’All their efforts and resources invested in reconnaissance will soon be for nothing.

’Even if the Gernoff notice the changes in our magical formations, they’ll think twice before scouting them. Not only because we might alter them again in the future, but also because the Gernoff know I’ll set traps for them.

’Losing a few people is nothing for a powerful Awakened Household, but with each round of this game we play, I’d thin their numbers and they’d gain nothing in return.’
