First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Passing Time

After arriving outside his room, Orion paused momentarily and let out a tired sigh, his hand reaching out to gently turn the handle.

With a soft click, the door slowly swung open, revealing the interior of his simple room, now slightly dark due to evening’s shadow.

Inside, Orion’s gaze immediately went towards the small figure sitting atop his study table, legs gently swinging as she curiously studied the scattered parchments that were left behind from his earlier research.

Hearing the faint creaking of the door opening, Lyra’s head swiftly turned around, eyes lighting up instantly with joy.

"Papa!" she exclaimed happily, quickly leaping from the chair, her tiny feet softly padding against the plush carpet as she rushed toward Orion.

Reaching him, she tightly wrapped her small arms around his leg, her face lifted upwards with a radiant smile that instantly warmed Orion’s previously heavy heart.

Orion felt his earlier tension and heaviness fade away in an instant, gently patting her head with affection. "Yes, Little Lyra, I’m back," he softly said, feeling his mood becoming lighter.

She tilted her head, smiling brighter as she happily pulled him into the room towards the study table to ask questions about what those are.

Orion chuckled, closing the door behind him with a gentle click and followed after to see what questions she had.

The next two days passed peacefully, the entire mansion radiating with warmth and happiness at Orion’s return.

Seraph had started to come out of her room more often to talk with Orion or just wander the mansion to become more familiar with the others. At first she was very nervous but seeing the warm atmosphere of others she slowly let her guard down.

And on the other hand Lyra, with her sweet and curious nature, quickly won over the hearts of everyone residing within the mansion, from Edgar and lazy Lucan to both grandparents as well as the maids in the mansion.

Indeed, Lyra was spoiled even more excessively than Orion himself. Even Orion couldn’t help but be speechless when he saw how much both Selene and Eldric were spoiling Little Lyra.

And even Edgar was subtly handing her small sweets from time to time behind Orion’s back while Lucan had no such inhibition as he brought an entire shop of sweets and set it up at a corner of the Estate for Little Lyra to eat whatever she wanted.

Orion couldn’t help but feel his lips violently twitching, he really felt like slapping Lucan and when he went to him to say her teeth would go bad, the only thing Lucan said with a serious expression which made him speechless was: "She is an Exalted Grade being. Let’s not talk about these sweets, she can eat the entire capital without her teeth going bad."

In these two days, Orion had not been idle either. He had taken the time to visit Thunderpeak Royal Academy, where he inquired about the upcoming test to see how much time is left and when they needed to set off, while also asking where they would need to go.

He then went to the academy’s library and meticulously researched the place he would be heading to for the test and thoroughly read various texts regarding the demons, deepening his understanding and preparing himself for any unforeseen situations.

Meanwhile, at the mansion, Little Lyra found Rina and convinced her to change Orion’s boring room to something interesting and eagerly spent the last two days redecorating his room, turning the whole room upside down.

They didn’t allow Orion anywhere near the room during this process, forcing him to temporarily sleep in another room within the mansion.

And the color theme was also Black and Silver of the room, letting it have a gothic feel to it. While the study table had also become larger to accommodate his needs since the previous one was too small for him.

Even Lumi couldn’t help but whistle playfully seeing the room, [Not bad Master. Little Lyra really made this room really good. It fits my aesthetic. ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ ]

Orion couldn’t help but chuckle and inwardly said while exploring the room, ’What’s the use of that? Can you live in it?’

[Junior courting death!! (ง’̀-’́)ง]

Orion nearly burst out laughing hearing her words, ’Hahaha, are you reading cultivation novels from my memory nowadays?’

[Hehe yes, I was bored and decided to read some novels from your memory. Since your soul is improving, your memory is slowly becoming perfect. Once you reach Exalted Grade then you will have perfect memory, then I can also watch animes and he cough, (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)]

Orion’s face became filled with black lines hearing her words, ’You... Hmph wait until you have a physical body and see how I deal with you.’

[Kyaaa~ I can’t wait to see how you will do that~ (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧]

Orion’s lips twitched as he decided to just ignore her as he felt a tug on his robe. Turning around, he saw Lyra eagerly tugging at his sleeve, looking up at him with sparkling eyes full of anticipation, "Papa, do you like it? Lyra made sure to put everything you’d like here!"

Rina, standing nearby, couldn’t help but giggle at Orion’s expression, enjoying his rare moment of speechlessness. "Yes, Little Lyra really spared no effort."
