After training, Adam spent the rest of the day at home.
He talked with his mother for hours, listening to stories he already knew, but which now seemed strangely comforting.
He also spent time with his fiancée, Selene.
She still seemed to smile more easily since the kiss in his room; every time their eyes met, there was a different sparkle in her eyes.
Adam noticed it.
And he didn't look away.
Later, he went to supervise the slaves. Renna continued to diligently study the fundamentals of magic, repeating formulas under her breath as if afraid of forgetting them. The others worked on cultivating the Mana Dragon Lotus, focused and, surprisingly, in good spirits.
Adam had no intention of pressuring them yet.
Zev, on the other hand...
Adam had been putting it off.
He had to take him to a dungeon or fight monsters soon. He needed real experience.
But that would be later.
After the date.
