’...Why are you after my ass for the last few days? Let me act in peace.’
[ヽ(・∀・)ノ]
Inwardly shaking his head, he continued with a sincere tone, "Moreover, this business will also fund my future activities as well as help me to grow my influence in the noble circle. I don’t plan to limit it to this capital—this is just a start."
Edgar nodded thoughtfully, deep respect clear in his expression as he fully understood Orion’s deeper intentions. "I see, Young Master. In that case, rest assured—I and everyone else will fully support your decision. We eagerly anticipate witnessing your growth and success."
Orion smiled warmly, appreciating the fact that he had such a nice group of people gathered around him.
Slowly, they made their way back to the carriage as they found Lucan sunbathing beside it. Edgar shook his head looking at him, while Orion moved forward and kicked the chair away, making him fall to the ground.
"WHO DARE DISTURB THIS YOUNG MAS—" His words caught in his throat as he saw Orion standing beside him with a calm smile. "Ahaha, Young Master, you are back! How was the store? Did you like it?"
Orion heaved a sigh and got up on the carriage. "Yes, yes, you can ask the details from Uncle Edgar later. Let’s head back home now. I’m feeling tired."
Lucan jumped from the ground and quickly got into his seat, while Edgar boarded the carriage, slowly chuckling, and sat in front of Orion.
By the time the obsidian carriage finally entered through the gates of the Helstorm Estate, the warm glow of late afternoon bathed the entire place in a soft light.
Orion stepped down from the carriage, stretching briefly as he inhaled the fresh, soothing scent of blooming flowers drifting gently in the breeze.
Lucan quickly drove the carriage away toward the stables, clearly eager to escape any potential reprimand after his earlier laziness.
Edgar calmly stood beside Orion, a gentle, contented smile evident upon his face. Together, they walked into the mansion, Orion’s steps slightly slower now due to mild fatigue from the day’s activities.
Inside the spacious main hall, Eldric and Selene awaited their return, seated comfortably at a small tea table near the large windows.
Eldric wore his usual composed expression, quietly sipping his tea, while Selene’s warm eyes immediately brightened upon seeing Orion approach.
"My dear, welcome back," Selene greeted gently, smiling warmly as Orion moved forward and took a seat opposite them. "How was your outing? Did the store meet your expectations?"
Orion nodded contentedly, the satisfaction clear in his voice as he leaned back comfortably. "It exceeded them, actually. I met an interesting fellow named Magi Alzareth, and he agreed to manage the store for us. The location you chose is truly perfect."
Eldric raised an eyebrow slightly, interest flickering in his eyes at the mention of Magi’s name. "Alzareth, you say? That was a merchant family the last time I was here. Did one of their descendants catch your eye?"
