Chapter 145: Fire Apprentice Spellbook
Lucan leaned casually against it, idly tossing a small pebble in his palm, while Edgar stood nearby, calmly conversing with him.
Seeing Orion approach, Lucan straightened up and waved cheerfully. "Yo, Young Master! Done for today?"
Orion smiled back warmly, his footsteps quickening slightly. "Yeah. Let's head back home."
Edgar turned around, offering a respectful nod and gentle smile. "Good to see you, Young Master. Was your day fruitful?"
"Quite," Orion replied, climbing into the carriage with ease. "I've managed to recruit two new members into the club—Elias and Nyss Blackwell."
Lucan's eyes widened in astonishment as he jumped up onto the driver's seat. "Wait, you actually got Nyss to join your club? Isn't she… uh, how do I put this… cursed?"
Edgar calmly climbed into the carriage beside Orion, shaking his head at Lucan's exaggerated fear. "Don't believe every rumor you hear, Lucan. Besides, the Young Master is quite capable of judging character."
"Exactly," Orion agreed softly as the carriage smoothly began its journey back towards the Helstorm estate. "Rumors are often misleading. Nyss is perfectly fine—just quiet and reserved… I think."
Lucan's playful voice drifted down, teasingly skeptical. "Well, if you start having bad luck, Young Master, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Orion chuckled lightly, leaning back comfortably against the plush velvet seat as the carriage rattled gently along the stone-paved streets.
The soft clopping of horseshoes echoed rhythmically, blending harmoniously with the distant sounds of the bustling city outside.
[Maybe Lucan is scared Nyss will steal your attention away from him~! (^人^)]
