First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Leaving

The days quickly turned into a week, and Orion enjoyed each moment of the week with both Rina and Fiora. He also went to Selene to ask questions about why he failed and what to look out for when he would form the rune next time.

And by the end of the week, Orion felt fully rejuvenated, his mana channels healed completely within a week due to the effects of that liquid. Otherwise, he would have had to wait months for them to slowly heal.

Soon, the peaceful days came to an end as the time for departure arrived. Eldric and Selene had already arranged everything, and preparations were complete for their journey to the capital.

Standing by the estate’s entrance, Orion took a deep breath, feeling a slight excitement building within him. Beside him stood Rina and Fiora, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the journey ahead.

"Ready?" Eldric asked warmly, placing a gentle hand on Orion’s shoulder.

Orion nodded confidently, a bright smile forming on his lips. "Yes, Grandpa."

Selene gently squeezed Orion’s hand, her voice tender, "You don’t need to be nervous about the new environment. We will be going together with you."

She mistook his excitement for nervousness.

Orion chuckled and nodded his head, not wanting to elaborate on this.

At the side stood Edgar, Helena, and Lucan, ready for departure.

"Where are the rest of the maids and butlers?" Orion curiously asked, looking around. He only saw the core people of the estate.

Eldric chuckled and softly explained, "I already sent them towards the capital in advance. A caravan with some high-level guards was going, so I put them all there. They should arrive even earlier than us."

"Ah, no wonder I didn’t see the maids for the last couple of days in the mansion." Orion nodded his head.

[Were you looking for maids specifically, Master? (¬‿¬ )]

’Cough, what nonsense?’ _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

He ignored her and looked towards the carriage that Lucan had prepared for them.

"Come, let’s go now," Eldric said and motioned for Selene to get up on the carriage before asking Orion to get up.

He nodded his head and got up on the carriage before Rina and Fiora got up as well. Selene and Edgar boarded the second carriage.

It was spacious enough inside to hold eight people comfortably. Once inside, Orion sat down on one side with Rina and Fiora sitting at both sides of him, while Eldric and Selene sat on the opposite side.

Once the carriages started moving, Selene slyly smiled and looked at the three of them, "You three seem to have gotten awfully close during this time. Is there any secret to this?"

Fiora’s face turned red while Rina turned her head to look at the outside view, leaving Orion staring at Selene with a helpless smile. "Fiora’s cookies helped us quite a bit."

"Oh? She learned how to make cookies?" Selene raised an eyebrow and looked towards Fiora’s hands. She had gotten calluses and cuts from trying to learn different things in the last few days.

Eldric smiled, "Let the young ones have their own fun. No need to meddle too much."

"Huh? I didn’t even get to talk with them properly, and you’re already interrupting me??" Selene looked at him with wide eyes, as if she couldn’t believe he had started lecturing her already.

Eldric coughed and looked outside, deciding to ignore whatever was happening.

Orion quickly changed the topic, "Grandpa, where are we heading now?"

Eldric thought for a second and replied, "We will bypass a few cities and towns before arriving at Brightgate City. It is quite an interesting city in itself. There are various races coming to trade and increase their influence."

"Ah yeah, due to the peace treaty. Looks like the races are prospering together." Orion nodded his head. He had read about the peace treaty between the various races of the Zorathal Continent due to their common enemy—Demons.

"So, how long will it take for us to reach there?" he curiously asked.

Eldric calculated with his fingers, "Hmm... if we travel while taking a few breaks, then we should reach there in about two days. Don’t worry, we will stop at Brightgate City for the night. You young ones can go around looking for stuff."
