First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 242: Library
Chapter 242: Library
Orion nodded in understanding, "Yes, I wanted to take them out for a while, but couldn’t get enough time. Now that I’ve gotten back from the academy early, I might as well take the two of them out for an outing. But you two seem more enthusiastic about this than even I am."
Lucan laughed cheerfully, guiding the carriage smoothly along the path, the mansion finally coming into view in the distance. "That’s because we’re invested in your happiness, Young Master! Life can’t be all battles and tests—there must be time for romance too!"
Orion chuckled quietly, shaking his head with amusement, "Fair enough. I’ll do my best."
Edgar and Lucan’s faces formed satisfied smiles, both quietly pleased with Orion’s agreement.
The carriage rolled smoothly through the gates of the Helstorm estate, gravel crunching gently beneath its wheels as it gradually slowed, coming to a gentle stop before the gates of the mansion.
Edgar was the first to move, stepping outside and quietly holding the door open.
Orion descended from the carriage, stretching slightly as he felt the fresh breeze drifting across the vast, well-manicured lawns that surrounded the mansion. The sunlight painted everything in golden warmth, illuminating the meticulously tended flower beds and ornate fountains placed tastefully around the grounds.
Turning back toward Edgar and Lucan, Orion gently waved a hand, indicating for them to remain by the carriage. "Stay here for a bit, I’ll go get Rina and Fiora myself."
Lucan smirked knowingly, tipping an imaginary hat toward Orion, his playful voice clear and teasing, "As you wish, Young Master. Take your time."
Edgar simply smiled with gentle amusement, nodding respectfully. "We’ll wait here, Young Master."
Orion shook his head slightly, chuckling quietly as he walked briskly toward the mansion entrance.
The large double doors opened smoothly at his approach, and stepping inside, Orion was greeted by the soft, respectful bow of a nearby maid. She straightened, awaiting instructions.
"Where are Rina and Fiora right now?" Orion asked, giving her a gentle, reassuring smile.
The maid politely bowed her head and replied softly, "Young Master, Rina and Fiora are currently studying in the library."
Orion raised an eyebrow curiously, a playful smirk appearing briefly on his face. "Studying, are they? That’s surprising."
He thanked the maid with a slight nod before turning down the long, brightly lit hallway that led toward the mansion’s grand library.
His footsteps echoed softly on the polished marble floor, the familiar scent of old parchment and polished wood greeting him as he drew nearer.
Upon reaching the library entrance, Orion paused at the doorway, leaning casually against the frame as he observed the scene inside.
The warm sunlight streaming through tall, arched windows gently illuminated the room, highlighting rows upon rows of elegantly carved shelves filled with countless books.
Seated at a large, ornate table near the center of the library were Rina and Fiora, their attention deeply engrossed in the books spread open before them.
Rina leaned forward, resting her chin lightly on one hand, her playful eyes scanning the pages with casual interest.
Her long, silky blond hair cascaded down her shoulders, catching the sunlight. Opposite her, Fiora sat more formally, her small face slightly scrunched up in concentration, her delicate fingers tracing carefully along the lines of text as she read intently.
Orion chuckled softly to himself, amused at the rare sight of the two of them studying so diligently. As he stepped fully into the room, the sound of his approach caught their attention immediately.
Rina glanced up first, her eyes widening in pleasant surprise as a warm, playful smile blossomed on her lips. She quickly stood, setting her book down gracefully.
Fiora hastily followed suit, her cheeks slightly flushed with mild embarrassment, shyly averting her gaze while bowing deeply in greeting.
"Young Master, welcome back!" Rina greeted sweetly, eyes twinkling mischievously as she tilted her head, "You’re back so early today, did something happen?"
Fiora timidly raised her eyes, softly adding, "Is everything a-alright, Young Master?"
Orion chuckled gently, raising a hand to reassure them, "Nothing to worry about. The academy let us out early, and I decided to skip training for today. How have your studies been going?"
Rina stretched leisurely, her voice taking on a lightly teasing tone, "Ah, studying is always easier when we know you’re coming back early, Young Master. Makes the time fly by faster, doesn’t it, Fiora?"
Fiora blushed furiously, nodding shyly but unable to form any coherent reply, causing Rina to giggle lightly.
Orion shook his head, smiling warmly at the pair, before deciding to get to the point, "Well, since I’m free today, I was thinking of taking you two out to visit the city for a bit. Interested?"
Both girls immediately brightened, their expressions lighting up eagerly as they exchanged quick, excited glances.
They nodded simultaneously, their voices enthusiastic, "Yes, Young Master!"
They eagerly moved forward to join him, but Orion raised a hand to stop them, his gaze traveling pointedly over their current attire—standard maid uniforms.
"Wait a moment," he interjected gently, an amused smile tugging at his lips, "Are you two planning to go out in these clothes?"
Both Rina and Fiora tilted their heads simultaneously, confusion clear in their innocent expressions as they glanced down at their neat but unmistakably servant-like outfits.
"Young M-Master...? Is there something w-wrong with our clothes?" Fiora asked softly, her voice hesitant and shy.
Rina’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she teasingly placed a finger against her chin, lightly pouting, "Are our maid dresses not appealing enough for you anymore, Young Master?"
Orion chuckled softly, shaking his head in amusement. "That’s not what I meant. I meant you should wear something more casual and comfortable for the city. We’re going for an outing, after all, not official mansion duties."
Rina’s playful eyes widened briefly in genuine surprise before she smiled warmly, glancing teasingly at Fiora. "Oh, so Young Master wants to see us dressed up more attractively?"
Fiora’s face instantly turned bright red, her small hands clutching nervously at the hem of her skirt as she stammered quietly, "R-Rina! D-don’t say things like that!"
Orion sighed softly, feeling amused at Rina’s antics as she seemed more active than usual. "Just go change into something suitable. That’s an order."
Both girls paused, blinking in mild surprise at his commanding tone before exchanging quick, uncertain glances.
Fiora quickly lowered her head shyly, while Rina giggled softly, clearly amused by Orion’s rare moment of authority.
"Of course, Young Master," Rina finally agreed sweetly, her voice softly playful, "We’ll get changed right away."
Fiora quietly nodded in compliance, her cheeks still flushed brightly.
Orion smiled warmly, nodding toward the library entrance. "Good. I’ll be waiting outside the mansion for you two. Don’t take too long."
Rina teasingly smiled at him as she gracefully grabbed Fiora’s hand, leading her swiftly toward their rooms.
Fiora stumbled slightly behind her, still adorably flustered and red-faced, causing Orion to shake his head with gentle amusement as he watched them leave.
’Fiora is quite flustered about the outing huh? It will be a fun day ahead.’ He thought to himself while walking toward the exit.
[Hehe, finally I can watch a good show after such a long time.]
