Chapter 302: Grandma Selene: Door Slayer
After a long moment, Orion exhaled softly, his eyes clear with resolve. He spoke quietly to Lumi, ’Perhaps you’re right, Lumi. Grandpa and Grandma deserve my full honesty. They’ve done so much for me already.’
[Yes, Master.]
Lumi gently agreed, her voice filled with budding excitement for seeing how Eldric and Selene will react to this knowledge.
[Hehe, it hasn’t even been a day and you are about to drop a bigger bomb on them, Master. (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ]
Orion lightly shook his head at Lumi’s playful comment, smiling inwardly despite himself as he made his way through the quiet halls of the mansion toward Eldric’s study.
The warm evening sunlight filtered gently through the large, elegantly arched windows, casting long shadows along the corridor.
Upon reaching the study, Orion paused briefly at the ornate wooden door, took a deep breath, and knocked gently. From within, Eldric’s deep voice called out softly, "Come in."
Pushing open the door, Orion stepped inside, his eyes finding Eldric seated calmly behind a large desk, filled with neatly arranged documents and scrolls.
Eldric looked up from his reading, eyes softening into a warm, welcoming smile.
"Orion, finished your training already? How did it go with your friends?" Eldric asked gently, setting aside his papers and giving his full attention.
"It went smoothly, Grandpa," Orion replied with a small smile. "Honestly, it was more fun than I had expected. I also gauged everyone’s level."
Eldric nodded thoughtfully, a faint smile lingering. However, his expression soon grew subtly serious as he carefully met Orion’s gaze.
