First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Human Emperor

Soon, Orion exited the bath wrapped in a towel. "Haa... feels like heaven after taking a hot bath."

Rina and Fiora followed behind him, feeling relieved that he had finally woken up.

"Ah, Master Orion, Old Master Eldric said to tell them when you wake up. They have been quite worried these past few days because of you. Should I inform them?" Rina softly asked, finally remembering Eldric’s words.

Orion waved his hand in refusal, "No need, I will go and meet with both of them." He looked out the window.

"They should be having breakfast right now. Perfect."

With that said, he moved towards the room’s exit and pushed open the doors.

Fiora and Rina quickly followed after him.

...

"How long will he take to wake up?" Selene worriedly muttered.

Eldric, who was sitting beside her—away from his usual head chair—patted her shoulder softly. "Don’t worry so much. We have already checked his condition and he’s just exhausted. We just need to let him rest and he will recover naturally."

Despite him saying this, he couldn’t help but worry inwardly.

They both had taken turns taking care of Orion and monitoring his condition. They knew he was stable, but they couldn’t help worrying needlessly.

"Haa... I just can’t help but worry. His awakening was something unlike anything we have seen. What if it left some lasting effects?" Selene said, her voice filled with concern as she had no appetite for the food placed in front of them.

The maids had left the two of them alone in the dining hall as per Eldric’s order.

Eldric silently patted her back, fully understanding what she was going through. They both had already lost a son; they didn’t want something to happen to Orion as well.

WOOSH!

Just then, the gate swung open. The couple raised their heads, wanting to see who would enter without knocking.

"Grandpa, Grandma!" Orion entered with a bright smile on his face.

Eldric and Selene both stood from their chairs, their faces filled with pleasant surprise.

"You finally decided to wake up, boy?" Eldric said with a berating tone, but he couldn’t suppress the small smile forming at the corner of his lips.

Selene elbowed him hard. "Hmph! You would have died ten times over if you had gone through a ceremony like he did."

She quickly walked forward and looked him up and down before circling him. "Good. Doesn’t look like there are any issues."

Orion shook his head. "I’m fine, Grandma. Let’s go and eat. I’m hungry now."

"Ah, lad, come, come. We have food prepared already." Eldric beamed and invited him.

All of them sat down at the table and began eating. Rina and Fiora had stopped outside to let them talk. Helena had already instructed them to stay out.

Eldric and Selene looked at each other while glancing at Orion, both wanting to start the topic but afraid it might be sensitive to him.

Orion, despite having his Dragon instinct suppressed, could still easily sense their concern.
