Chapter 404: Parting Conversations

"Then we'll be looking forward to traveling with you soon, Viscountess Blackshield." Lucius smiled and inclined his head.

"The same to you, Young Lord Asher." Viscountess Blackshield nodded. "Now then, will the two of you be staying here with me, or will you go elsewhere? You have already confirmed that I will be joining you guys tomorrow."

"Do you wish us to leave you alone, Viscountess?" Lucius raised a brow.

"I just find it strange that a young man is spending a lot of time with me instead of people around his age."

"I find myself interacting with people of various ages, Viscountess. I assure you that sometimes I find it easier to interact with people much older than me due to my interests lying elsewhere."

"That's true. Sometimes I do find it hard to believe that Asher is younger than me. He has grown so much in a year." Kiana said, joining the conversation.
