First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Grandma Selene: Door Slayer

After a long moment, Orion exhaled softly, his eyes clear with resolve. He spoke quietly to Lumi, ’Perhaps you’re right, Lumi. Grandpa and Grandma deserve my full honesty. They’ve done so much for me already.’

[Yes, Master.]

Lumi gently agreed, her voice filled with budding excitement for seeing how Eldric and Selene will react to this knowledge.

[Hehe, it hasn’t even been a day and you are about to drop a bigger bomb on them, Master. (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ]

Orion lightly shook his head at Lumi’s playful comment, smiling inwardly despite himself as he made his way through the quiet halls of the mansion toward Eldric’s study.

The warm evening sunlight filtered gently through the large, elegantly arched windows, casting long shadows along the corridor.

Upon reaching the study, Orion paused briefly at the ornate wooden door, took a deep breath, and knocked gently. From within, Eldric’s deep voice called out softly, "Come in."

Pushing open the door, Orion stepped inside, his eyes finding Eldric seated calmly behind a large desk, filled with neatly arranged documents and scrolls.

Eldric looked up from his reading, eyes softening into a warm, welcoming smile.

"Orion, finished your training already? How did it go with your friends?" Eldric asked gently, setting aside his papers and giving his full attention.

"It went smoothly, Grandpa," Orion replied with a small smile. "Honestly, it was more fun than I had expected. I also gauged everyone’s level."

Eldric nodded thoughtfully, a faint smile lingering. However, his expression soon grew subtly serious as he carefully met Orion’s gaze.

His tone remained gentle yet carried a hint of concern. "Orion, about telling your friends of your Dragon lineage, I’m still uncertain if that was wise."

Orion’s expression remained calm, his dual-colored eyes clear yet contemplative. "I know, Grandpa. But I made this decision after careful thinking. I also needed to see whom among my club members I could truly trust and who might bear hidden intentions. Better to reveal it early and identify any potential backstabbers before they grow too dangerous."

Eldric thoughtfully nodded his head. "That’s good as well. You can never fully trust noble’s kids."

He paused, noticing Orion’s slightly troubled expression. "Now, is there something else you came here to discuss, lad?"

Orion hesitated for a brief moment, his heart tightening in slight anxiety, before finally gathering his resolve. "Could you ask Grandma to come here as well? I’d like to speak with both of you together."

Eldric’s brows furrowed slightly, quickly recognizing Orion’s serious demeanor. Without further questioning, he reached into his robe and took out a small communication token. With a brief pulse of mana, he sent a message.

"Selene, Orion needs to speak with us urgently. Could you come to the study?"

Not long after, hurried footsteps echoed loudly in the hallway outside, followed immediately by a loud crash.

The heavy wooden door burst open dramatically, hinges creaking in protest as Selene swiftly entered the room with an excited smile.

Eldric’s lips twitched helplessly, observing the now broken door.

"Orion, my dear, is everything alright?" Selene asked warmly, entirely disregarding the damage she’d just caused. She swiftly moved to Orion’s side, gently placing her hand on his shoulder, eyes filled with motherly concern and curiosity.
