Chapter 259:Showcasing Growth
Kael stepped out of the bath, his body relaxed and his mind at ease. The room was luxurious, just as he remembered. A grand chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a soft golden glow. Velvet curtains moved gently from the breeze that slipped through the open balcony. The floor was smooth white marble, cool under his feet, and the air carried a rich scent of sandalwood. A sound orb on the wall played soft harp music, adding to the comfort of the room.
He dried himself off with the help of maids and was soon dressed in a deep-blue robe lined with silver embroidery. The fabric felt soft and warm, wrapping him like royalty. He sat back on a padded chair near the dresser, letting out a soft sigh.
"Haaa... I missed this," Kael said with a small smile, running his hand through his wet hair. "I was such an idiot before... leaving all this behind like a fool."
As he savored the moment, enjoying the comfort and attention, a clicking sound echoed from the entrance.
"Still enjoying your little prince fantasy, brat?" a gruff voice called out.
Kael turned with a wide grin spreading across his face. "Uncle Ramos," he said with delight.
"Finally! Come here, old man. Give your favorite nephew a hug."
Ramos stood at the doorway, wearing a dark long coat. His white beard was messy, and his sharp eyes were filled with irritation. He froze in place, as if Kael had just insulted him.
"What did you just say?" Ramos said with a twitch in his eye. "I must’ve heard wrong."
"I said come here and hug me, you dead old croak," Kael repeated, walking toward him with open arms.
"Don’t you dare, you little freak," Ramos said, stepping back with a disgusted look. "Stay away from me. I mean it."
