Bath

Eldric stroked his beard and nodded proudly, "That's true indeed. But there are a lot of promising youth emerging in this generation."

Selene smiled affectionately at Orion, gently stroking his hair. "Well, our Orion here will surpass them all easily. Let's just wait until you awaken your own affinity—you'll definitely surprise everyone!"

Orion shook his head and chuckled softly, feeling the warmth of familial care from the two of them. He continued enjoying the delicious food, quietly absorbing the information Selene had shared, his thoughts briefly lingering on his future awakening.

As the meal continued, laughter and gentle chatter filled the hall, creating a cozy atmosphere. Orion found himself genuinely enjoying these peaceful moments, sensing the warmth of family life he had missed in his previous existence.

'This isn't bad at all,' he thought inwardly, a contented smile forming on his lips. 'Perhaps this second life really is my chance to experience everything I missed.'

Soon, they finished their meals and headed back to their rooms.

…

Orion stretched after entering his room, looking around at the cozy bed and luxurious furniture. "How envious my life is." He chuckled, thinking to himself before jumping on the bed.

"Haaa…this is life. How I missed this in my last life." He closed his eyes for a bit, relaxing his body before he abruptly sat up straight.

"Now, let's see what I have gathered of this world." He thought before remembering all the things he learned from Eldric and Selene in the past few days.

Raising his hand, a small crackle of lightning lit up his finger before he replaced it with burning fire. "Hmm, Dual Element Mages are not special, it seems. They might be relatively rare but nothing out of the ordinary."

After extinguishing the fire, he muttered, "Will I also be an ordinary Fire and Thunder mage on my human side?" He closed his eyes thinking.

He knew he would be far more special than nearly everyone born in this kingdom solely due to his Dragon Lineage, but he was even more special after integrating two True Dragons' inheritances and Human inheritance.

But he didn't want his Human side to be merely above ordinary. He wanted it to be as exceptional as his Dragon side.

"Wait, Human? I'm not an ordinary human, but a Perfect Human being at the apex of all humans. Should I be limited by mere elements??" His eyes became bright as he thought up to this point.

"I need to verify this." He looked outside the window and shook his head, "Eh it's already late. I should talk with Grandpa about my awakening. He should be able to help me awaken my Sea of Consciousness. And I can also know what elemental affinity I have. It should be Thunder and Fire."

He rubbed his chin while falling back on the bed, "Hmm, I should be able to learn different elemental magic as well, albeit slowly. As for different paths, I would need the Inheritance of those paths."

He continued to think for a bit before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

…

The morning sun rose, casting a warm glow over Orion's room. His eyes fluttered open, "Mmm…"

Slowly, he rose from his bed and sat up, rubbing his eyes, "What a terrible life I was living before." He muttered with a bit of nostalgia.

"Those Chatcord bastards would be jealous to death if they learned of my situation." He chuckled to himself thinking about his past life friends.

Looking around the room, he once again realized that he was living the life of a noble. "But nothing is certain, I need to get stronger to guarantee my freedom. I can't always rely on those two."

He stood up, going towards the exit of the room, "Those two really assigned maids to bathe me…I still can't get used to it. But I can't refuse their help as well," his lips twitched as he remembered the faces the maids made when he initially refused it, "Those two really know how to make sad faces."

He smiled and exited the room, only to see two beautiful blond maids standing on either side of his room. They turned around and respectfully bowed towards him, "Good morning, Master Orion."

Orion helplessly shook his head, he would be lying if he said he didn't like being called Master by two hot maids. But he couldn't show it on his face so he nodded his head, "Good morning, Rina, Liora. Looks like you are up early again."

"Hehe, how can we wake up later than you, Master?" Rina smiled brightly and said.

Liora, albeit shy, still nodded her head.

Rina smiled and motioned for Orion to move forward, "It's your bath time, Master Orion. Let's go."

Liora's face flushed slightly but she quickly motioned as well.

"Liora, you don't need to be so worked up, learn a thing or two from Rina." Orion moved forward and patted Liora.

Her face exploded in redness but she still nodded her head. Orion smiled looking at it and moved back into the room and headed for the washroom first. It was attached to his own room.

Rina leaned towards Liora and playfully whispered in her ear, "Eh, getting pats so early in the morning? Not bad, not bad, looks like it is I who need to learn a thing or two from you."

Liora's cheeks turned pink but she still raised her head, "You know it's not like that. I-I just can't face Master Orion like you."

Rina patted her head, "Hehe, don't worry silly. Master Orion is a kind man, he won't eat you. You will get used to him in some time."

"En." Liora cutely nodded her head. They both waited for him to get out of the washroom for a bit.

After some time, Orion got out of the washroom and headed towards the bathroom at the opposite side of the room.

Rina and Liora followed after him, while Rina clearly looked eager to help Orion, Liora still looked shy as usual.

Soon, they entered the washroom. It was a huge room with a pool in the center and a water shower at one side to rinse.

Orion had been surprised when he saw the washroom for the first time; he hadn't expected this world to have such an advanced washroom.

Everything was controlled by spells. They were engraved all over the place, some controlling the temperature of the water, while others, like on the shower, threw gentle streams of water.

Orion loosened his robe, which made Liora's expression bright pink, while Rina also blushed. But they still walked forward and helped him to undress before helping him.
