Chapter 114: Dantalion
Once he’d cleared most of his plate and downed the last of his tea, Orion stood up and stretched. "Alright. Time to head out."
Eldric nodded and waved a hand. "Learn the Runic Language sooner. You have a lot more work to do than your classmates."
Orion smilingly shook his head and waved his hand while walking out, making his way to the front courtyard as Rina and Fiora left to do their own things.
He soon reached the exit as the entrance came into view. There, the sleek black carriage stood ready, its elegant design looking as good as usual.
Lucan stood by the driver’s seat, tossing a small pebble into the air as if bored out of his mind. He caught it between two fingers and looked up as Orion approached.
"Well, well, look who’s up bright and shining like a prince," Lucan grinned and bowed, "Good morning, Young Master."
"Good morning." Orion stepped up. "Where’s Uncle Edgar?"
Lucan scratched his neck and shrugged. "He’s got some business today. He left early in the morning. Said he’d catch up with you later."
"I see..." Orion glanced once at the estate behind him, then stepped into the carriage. "Let’s go."
"With pleasure," Lucan said, climbing into the driver’s seat with an overly dramatic flourish. "Thunderpeak Royal Academy, here we come!"
The carriage began rolling down the street with only Lucan and Orion inside, heading toward the academy as Orion gazed outside, wondering about the Runic Language.
