Chapter 399 - 398. Worries Of A Single Parent (1)
By the time I arrived at Ryujin, the evening had already settled in, and the soft glow of twilight painted the world in golden and pink hues. Remi, ever diligent, helped me out of my coat as I stepped inside.
"Archmage Silas is waiting for you in the drawing room, Master," he informed me, his voice respectful as always.
I nodded, my thoughts already shifting towards the task ahead, and made my way up the stairs. As I approached the door to the drawing room, Kate stepped out with a tray in her hands. She gave me a slight bow and greeted me with a warm smile.
"Welcome back, Master."
I returned her smile with a nod, silently grateful for her quiet presence. Pushing open the doors, I walked inside.
"I’m sorry for being late, Uncle," I said, settling onto the couch, my body tired but still alert.
Silas observed me for a moment, his sharp gaze never missing a beat. Then, without a word, he placed a small chest on the table between us, his hands moving with the precision of someone accustomed to handling important matters.
"Here," he said, as he picked up his teacup with an air of casual grace. "The things you asked for."
I opened the chest, my eyes scanning the carefully packed communication devices inside. Satisfied, I closed the chest and set it aside.
"What are you going to do with so many communication devices?" Silas asked, his brow quirking in mild curiosity. "Planning on starting a business?"
I shook my head, the corners of my lips curling up in a faint smile. "Not yet. These are for my kids."
