Chapter 296: The Former Noble and The Half-Halfling

The morning sun streamed through the windows of the House of Roses, casting a warm glow over the bustling activity inside. Lyan was in the kitchen, expertly slicing vegetables alongside Raine and Ravia. The aroma of cooking filled the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of the women who called this place home.

"The House of Roses is going to Grafen!?" The exclamations rang out simultaneously from Ravia, Raine, Belle, Alina, and Xena as they burst into the kitchen, eyes wide with surprise.

Lyan looked up from his work, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Good morning to you too," he said, raising an eyebrow.

Josephine, the Madam of the House of Roses, followed the girls into the kitchen. Her serene demeanor contrasted with the excitement bubbling in the room. She placed a gentle hand on Lyan's shoulder. "I've just told them the news," she explained.

Lyan nodded, setting down his knife. "It seems I missed the big reveal."
