First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Meeting

Turning calmly, Orion glanced toward Edgar, who stood patiently at his side. With a nod, he quietly said, "Uncle Edgar, I have something to take care of first. Would you mind training with me later today?"

Edgar readily nodded his head, but his eyes held a hint of concern. "But Young Master, are you sure about this? Is your body better now?"

Orion chuckled softly and nodded his head. "Yes, my body is good enough to practice swordsmanship. I’ll meet with you and Brother Lucan later." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He smiled appreciatively before stepping toward the grand mansion entrance, ascending the elegant steps. Edgar and Lucan remained standing near the carriage, quietly watching Orion’s retreating figure until he disappeared behind the mansion’s ornate doors.

Inside the mansion, Orion moved gracefully through familiar hallways toward his room, immersed in thinking about today’s events—especially about all the Mana Crystals he had gathered.

However, as he passed near the spacious main hall, the sound of faint voices drifted softly into his ears. Pausing briefly, Orion’s eyebrows lifted curiously at the unmistakable tones of Eldric and Selene engaged in an unusually heated discussion.

Intrigued, Orion silently approached the large wooden door of the main hall, gently pushing it open a mere crack, peering discreetly inside.

Selene stood sternly in the center of the grand hall, hands planted firmly on her hips, her vibrant eyes narrowed fiercely toward Eldric, who sat comfortably in an elegant armchair, exasperation clearly etched into his aged but still distinguished features.

"Why didn’t you tell me sooner that our grandson had already awakened, you stubborn old geezer!" Selene’s voice carried clear frustration and affectionate irritation, her usual graceful composure momentarily disrupted by genuine worry.

Eldric released a weary sigh, rubbing his temples with a tired hand. "Because, Selene, had I informed you earlier, you’d have immediately abandoned your mission to obtain the elixir. Knowing your temperament, you would’ve rushed back directly to Orion and forgotten about the elixir."

Selene’s eyes flashed dangerously, her elegant features contorting into a delicate scowl. She was just about to deliver a fiery retort when Orion, deciding to intervene before matters escalated further, gently pushed the hall’s door open fully and calmly entered.

"Grandma, Grandpa," Orion spoke softly, his calm voice easily drawing their immediate attention.

Selene instantly spun around, her eyes widening dramatically in surprise and delight upon seeing Orion standing confidently in the doorway. "Orion...!"

In a swift movement, Selene crossed the room, reaching Orion in a heartbeat. Without hesitation, she enveloped him tightly within her embrace, holding him gently but firmly as if fearing he might vanish once again.

"Orion," Selene whispered softly, her voice trembling with emotion as small tears of relief and joy formed within her clear eyes. "You’re finally awake."

Feeling the warmth and genuine care radiating from his grandmother’s embrace, Orion’s heart softened warmly, a gentle smile forming naturally upon his lips as he returned the hug. "Yes, Grandma. I’m well now and fully awake."

Across the room, Eldric released a gentle sigh of quiet relief, visibly relaxing now that Selene’s wrath had shifted away from him. With mild exhaustion, the old man eased back into his armchair, observing the emotional reunion with quiet satisfaction.

After a lingering moment, Selene slowly stepped back, her eyes still glistening as she examined Orion more closely.

Her gaze traveled carefully from his increased height to the striking heterochromatic eyes now radiating a sense of maturity and his usual confidence.

"You truly have changed, my dear Orion," Selene spoke softly, voice filled with quiet pride mingled with lingering worry. Her eyes softened further, glimmering affectionately. "But what matters most is that you are finally awake."

She grasped Orion’s hand gently yet insistently, pulling him toward the large, elegant table positioned at the hall’s center. "Come, sit with us now. We have much to discuss."
