Sensing this, Damien decided to shift the focus of the conversation.
"Elyon, over there are our new staff members, Isaac and Miria," Damien said, gesturing toward them.
Hearing the introduction, Isaac and Miria knelt as well, showing their respect.
Damien felt a little bad for not going over to formally introduce them himself, but he wanted to stay by Augusto's side for now.
"I see. Work hard," Elyon said simply, acknowledging the pair.
Elyon, perhaps aware of Augusto's trembling, deliberately avoided looking in his direction and instead focused on Isaac and Miria.
Damien was a bit surprised by Elyon's thoughtfulness. He hadn't expected such consideration from him.
This sealed it—Damien resolved to thank Elyon with every ounce of his being later.
"So, Teacher, will the mansion really be built in just one day?"
"Of course," Elyon replied firmly. "Let's head to the construction site first."
