Chapitre 1348: Home and Grief (Part 2)

Lith thought back at their first meeting during the Spring Festival in Lutia, when the Count had brought his latest protege, Ricker Trahan. It had been the youth's arrogance that had led Nana to humiliate Ricker by showing off her future apprentice.

Lith had just used magic on lettuce to entertain the noble, yet that small insignificant event had intertwined their lives to the bitter end. Lith clung to Kamila as he remembered about his absurd ploy to fake the presence of ghosts to smoke out the traitors that Koya, the Count's wife had planted among the staff.

He remembered Lark's silly face while covered in flour, laughing like a child while Lith made him fly with magic. It was all so cartoonish that he could almost hear the Countess say:

"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that meddling kid" while the Mage Association destroyed her household for attempting on Nana's life.
