Orion quickly regained his composure, lightly shaking his head. "Ah, no—I was just looking around," he replied calmly, hiding his genuine interest.
Selene raised an eyebrow suspiciously but didn't press him further, instead smiling warmly. "Let's go inside. Grandma wants to buy you something nice today."
Orion's heartbeat quickened slightly as they entered the dazzling shop. He tried his best to appear casual, but his eyes secretly lingered on various shiny accessories and trinkets arranged beautifully inside. His draconic greed quietly stirred, desiring every shining item he saw.
Selene laughed softly, noticing his subtle excitement. "Orion, pick anything you like. Consider it Grandma's special gift."
Orion hesitated momentarily, but on the inside he was overjoyed. He knew his grandparents were loaded with cash, so this little wouldn't matter.
After careful consideration, he chose a stunning silver bracelet adorned with a deep azure gem. It seemed to be the most pleasant one for his eyes.
"Just this one," Orion said softly, hiding his excitement behind a calm smile.
Selene, pleased by his choice, nodded approvingly and quickly purchased it without hesitation, also secretly selecting a few more items she noticed Orion had subtly eyed earlier.
Throughout the day, Selene and Orion continued exploring numerous stores. By evening, they had bought several outfits, artifacts, local specialties, and even more shiny trinkets that secretly delighted Orion's draconic heart.
As the sky gradually turned a gentle shade of amber, signaling sunset's arrival, they returned to the carriage filled with their numerous purchases.
Lucan looked at all the stuff while shaking his head, 'Madame Selene is spoiling Young Master Orion too much.'
Inside the carriage, Selene warmly grasped Orion's hand, smiling tenderly. "Did you enjoy yourself today, Orion dear?"
Orion met her gentle gaze and nodded sincerely, a contented smile forming on his lips. "Yes, Grandma, today was wonderful."
Selene beamed warmly, affection filling her eyes. "That's good to hear. We should do this more often."
Orion's smile slightly widened. "We will have all the time we want to go on small trips like this."
She nodded her head, before her expression turned serious. "Yes, for now we should focus on your awakening."
Orion gently chuckled, "No hurry, I still have a couple weeks left."
Her expression froze. Lightly hitting her head, she chuckled, "Oh silly me, I forgot there is still time."
They continued chatting while heading back home.
...
At the entrance, Edgar brought a few more butlers who helped to take down the stuff Selene and Orion had purchased.
Meanwhile, Orion nearly couldn't hide his excitement at getting so many new treasures. They might be worthless compared to what he saw in the dream; however, what he got here were real treasures unlike in the dream.
He had Edgar move all of the things he had purchased inside his room. Selene smilingly looked at him before leaving.
