The bright morning light poured into Red Maple Manor, the crystalline dewdrops gave off a little glow, like pure diamonds, adorning this elegant manor like a fairyland.
After a heavy rain, the air became extraordinarily fresh, filled with the fragrance of flowers and grass everywhere.
Colin took a deep breath, stretching lazily in the rising morning sun.
He felt refreshingly clear-headed.
"Good morning, Prince Topaz!"
"Good morning, Viscount Angler! You seem to be in a good mood today!"
Prince Topaz looked at the cheerful Colin somewhat strangely.
Since Vera's coming-of-age ceremony, while they wouldn't draw swords at each other's sight, they definitely would not greet each other warmly either.
"Haha, of course! This is all thanks to your hospitality!" Colin laughed, his face full of sincerity.
"I am honored to please you, Viscount!" Prince Topaz found Colin a bit overly enthusiastic, but didn't pay too much attention to it.
