Chapter 36: Magic Training

After catching his breath and resting, Arthur decided to visit his mother. Arriving at her chambers, he found she was absent, and a maid informed him that she was in the Lord's office. Curiosity piqued, Arthur made his way there.

Entering the room, he was surprised to find not only his mother, Iliyana, but also his stepmother, Elona, and his sister-in-law, Amelia. They were deep in conversation about estate matters, but the moment they noticed him, Iliyana's face lit up with a mischievous grin.

"Well, well, if it isn't the young lord himself," Clara teased. "Your feats from last night have become quite the gossip among the maids."

Elona joined in, her smirk widening. "Quite the stamina you've got, Arthur. I'm guessing last night was… eventful?"

Arthur cleared his throat, trying to stay composed. "Just, uh, making use of my energy," he replied, earning a round of knowing chuckles.
