Chapter 49: The adventure begins!
Aziz, watching his mother meticulously analyze every detail of the mission description, couldn’t help but let out an ironic smile.
But deep in his heart, he felt genuine satisfaction — after all, what son wouldn’t appreciate the attentive care of a mother?
Astrid averted her gaze from the mission paper after reading it, turning her eyes to Aziz. She didn’t say a word, only carefully studied his expression.
Even knowing her son’s abilities, she knew it was always wise to pay attention to the smallest details. After all, unforeseen events happen, and the future can never be predicted with certainty.
Looking at the serious expression on his mother’s beautiful face, Aziz returned a calm and confident smile, as if to say, "Everything will be fine, trust me."
Astrid understood the meaning behind that smile, nodding softly, accepting her son’s choice.
Relieved, Aziz let out a deep sigh.
"Now let’s go to one of the guild clerks to confirm the mission," Selene said, pointing to the next step.
