Supreme Magus - Chapter 525

Chapter 525
'These are the moments when you really act like a monster . How could you do that to Phloria?' Solus felt bad for her .





'If I met him in the wilds, I would have killed him . If I were in the middle of the street, I would have challenged him . Here I could only take the sugar out of his venom to reveal the snake he is . A pretty face and pretty words mean nothing .

'Phloria needs to learn her lesson and a burned hand teaches best . ' Lith replied .

The moment people noticed Phloria's distress, all whispers disappeared . Quylla and Friya were glaring at Kallion like they could murder him without a second thought, and so did their brothers, their relatives, and even the members of their staff .

Kallion's plan fell into shambles as the ancient noble households left his side the moment they understood who the Ernas were siding with . There was no point in backing a dead horse and no sense in beating it .

Kallion had managed to embarrass his date, his hosts, and his entire household in one fell swoop . It was a social blunder juicy enough to liven up the evening but not enough to last more than one day . Unless of course, things escalated .

\"Phloria, would you like to take a little stroll around the park? We could use some air . \" Kallion had played his cards well by avoiding being rude and using Kamila's low social status to justify his words .

'It didn't go as well as I hoped, but everything is still fine . I only need to make sure that Phloria isn't upset and blames the little wench for the mishap . ' He thought .

\"You've taken the words right out of my mouth . \" She finally raised her eyes from the floor . A warm smile appeared on her face, yet her eyes were cold .

\"We need to talk . \"





Chuckles and whispers spread throughout the Main Hall as soon as the couple walked through the glass doors leading outside .

\"Do you think she will kick him out?\" Kamila whispered to Lith's ear .

\"That's unlikely . He was subtle and I couldn't make a scene . The Ernas will lose a lot of face if she ends up without a date right off the bat . \" He replied while listening to the other guests betting about the possible outcomes .

Kallion being kicked out was given 100-1, just like their relationship lasting more than a week .

\"She treated you like crap! Someone had to say something . Why are you mad at me?\" Kallion said after all of his attempts at sweet talk were met with Phloria's cold shoulder .

\"If I thought she did, I would have put her in her place myself . You didn't do it to defend me, you did it to embarrass Lith . Or do you think I'm that stupid? Scratch that, I am that stupid, otherwise I would've never dated you . \" She was walking double time, clenching and releasing her hands to suppress her most violent urges .

\"How can you say that? I'm not completely at fault here . You could have told me you wanted to speak with him privately . You took me by surprise, asking your ex to talk, what was I supposed to do?\" Kallion tried to shift the blame again, hoping a bit of guilt would make his reasons more believable .


\"Are you saying that I am supposed to ask for your permission before talking to a friend?\" His move resulted in throwing jet fuel on the flames of her outrage .





\"No, I…\"

\"To answer your other question, you could have taken it out on Lith, like she did with me . Or, if you were that insecure about us, you could have asked me to talk about it in private before embarrassing me in front of the entire Verhen family .

\"You took it out on the most vulnerable link of the chain, instead . It seems deliberate, if not planned to me . \"

\"How can you say that?\" He managed to sound aggrieved, even though only his pride was hurt because she seemed to see through his scheme too easily .

\"How could you do that if you ever cared even one bit about me?\" Phloria rebuked .

\"We're done . You can remain for the gala, but I don't want to see you ever again . \"

Kallion tried to object, before Phloria's right hand closed on his throat lifting him off from the ground and reminding him that she was even stronger than she looked .

\"That's not up to debate . You can either say yes and act like a true gentleman for the rest of the evening or get escorted out of my house . Your choice . \"

Kallion nodded like a parrot, his lungs screaming for air .





'This is not over, you bitch . There is more than one way I can use you against that peasant . Bringing down the Ernas and the Verhen is like killing a flock of birds with just one stone . '

Meanwhile, inside the Main Hall, the butler announced the Ernas couple and then the Royal couple right after them .

\"King Meron Griffon and Queen Sylpha Griffon . \" Despite the cosmetic magic treatment, the Royals couldn't compare with the Ernas . Despite her character, Jirni had an oval face with delicate features and big eyes, whereas the Queen had sharp features and a square jaw .

After both of them had their impurities removed, the best comparison that could be drawn between them was that they respectively looked like a newlywed maiden and a drill sergeant .

\"I'm so sorry, dear . \" Jirni said to both Kamila and Lith .

\"I didn't expect Phloria to take you away . You handled things well, Kamila . \"

\"There's no need to apologize, Lady Ernas . I should have been more careful . \" Kamila was embarrassed by all the attention from the lords of the house . Too many eyes were staring at her in envy .

\"No matter how careful you were, he would have struck at the first opportunity . It's not your fault . \"

\"I apologize on behalf of my daughters . \" Orion gave Kamila a small bow, making her and the Ernas girls blush in embarrassment .

\"I'm disappointed in you . Kamila is your mother's apprentice and your friend's betrothed . You should have been more considerate toward her . \"

At those words, Lith, his relatives, and Jirni almost chocked on their wine .

\"We're not betrothed . \" Kamila managed to say with a squeaky voice .

\"You're not?\" Orion looked flabbergasted .

\"I mean, he crafted the Camellia for you, which is the most romantic forgemastered piece I've ever seen . He even made you a tiara like those Elina and his sisters are wearing . I thought you were already part of the Verhen family . \"

\"I'm a one trick pony, okay?\" Lith was beet red in embarrassment .

\"Circlets are the most elaborate pieces I can make . I'm a Forgemaster, not a goldsmith . I practiced hard to make Jirni's present and I thought it would be a waste to only use that knowledge to create a single piece . \"

\"But you made Camellias for the rest of your family too!\" Orion objected .

\"How many times do you want me to say that I'm a one trick pony? There's no hidden meaning behind them, they are not some kind of family trademark!\"

\"What's a Camellia?\" Queen Sylpha asked . After finishing her rounds among the most important nobles, she had gotten curious about the fuss between the Ernas and the Verhen .
