(✧◡✧) Master! This is a journey of heart and fate!
Be patient… She's broken now, but perhaps you're the one who can help her beco whole again.
[This quest will evolve depending on your choices.]
'…So after an evolving system, now I'm getting evolving quests?' He lightly shook his head.
'So, anyway, I need to gain her trust and uncover her identity?' He slowly glanced at the green-haired girl and shook his head. 'This won't be easy.'
[That's why there's no ti limit given, Master! You have lots of ti to help her open up to you.]
He humd in agreent and turned to Edgar. "Uncle Edgar, how will I explain about her back at ho? I can't just say I decided to bring ho an elven slave, right?"
Edgar chuckled. "Well, that is for you to think about, Young Master. We can't help you with that."
Orion resignedly released a soft exhale. "Looks like I'll just tell them what I can."
Edgar nodded but didn't comnt further.
On the rest of the journey, Orion tried to communicate with the elven girl a few tis, but each attempt turned out to be a failure.
He gave up and just enjoyed the view as they entered the third ring and then the second ring.

"We are here, Young Master! Ti to take the missy ho." Lucan grinned from behind the window while looking at Orion.
He lightly shook his head as he saw Edgar getting off the carriage. He followed after and descended as well. Turning around, he saw the girl sitting there motionless.
'Is she perhaps ntally disabled?' he inwardly wondered before gently reaching out to her hand and pulling her out of the carriage.
"Ah, lad, you are ba—" Eldric ca out of the mansion with a smile, which soon froze as his gaze landed on the elven slave.
"Hmm? Is he here?" Selene's voice ca from behind as she exited the mansion's gate, pausing at the entrance.
"Cough, you guys need to listen to my explanation," Orion hurriedly said before they jumped to conclusions.
Eldric softly nodded and gestured for him. "Alright, co inside everyone. We can discuss more there."
Lucan and Edgar excused themselves and ran away from the trouble, leaving Orion alone to handle it.
He gently shook his head, grabbed the girl's hand softly, and followed Eldric and Selene inside the building.
[Aren't you shaking your head too much lately, Master? (●__●)]
'Because you keep my stress at max.' He directly replied.
[Nuuuuu!! (ಥ﹏ಥ)-]
But before Lumi could respond any further, they reached the main hall of the mansion. Eldric sent away all the servants and took his seat.
"So, who is she, and where did you find her?" Eldric curiously asked, while Selene's gaze remained fixed on the girl's face. Her brows furrowed as if she were trying to see through sothing.
Orion took a deep breath. "Recently, I had a dream in which an elven girl helped find my destiny. However, the dream was obscure and incomprehensible, yet it was deeply etched in my mory. I felt like if I didn't try to look for her, I would miss sothing really important."
Eldric and Selene looked at the two of them in surprise, and surprisingly, even the elven girl turned her face to look at Orion.
"Is that right? A dream, huh? So is she the girl from your dream?" Eldric looked deeply at her this ti, trying to analyze everything about her. He soon found sothing amiss.
"Selene," he softly said.
"Yes. Soone used an illusion spell on her," Selene softly replied.
"Can you remove it?" he asked.
Selene smiled. "Who do you take for? I'd be too ashad if I can't even dispel a spell soone placed months or even years ago."
She stood up and ca in front of the elven girl, taking out her wand from her storage ring. She began chanting a spell softly as glowing runes materialized all around her.
Orion looked at all of this in wonder. 'No wonder I felt sothing was wrong—she was under soone's illusion spell. Her true face was hidden.'
He finally realized what the issue was. He looked forward to seeing what her true appearance would be.
All the runes converged together before hitting the elven girl's body directly.
BOOM!
Darkness flowed all around them as the illusion broke. And it revealed a breathtaking beauty in front of the group.
She had lustrous green hair that shimred like erald silk, deep violet eyes that seed to pull you in, milky white skin smooth as jade, and cherry-red lips so full that one would want to take a bite.
Even Fiora and Rina—each a beauty in their own right—paled in comparison.
She seed to ooze a natural charm that cald all who saw her, yet there was a faint hint of despair in her otherwise otherworldly aura.
Orion's eyes widened slightly in surprise. He hadn't expected her to be such a beauty. 'Damn… I won't curse you from now on, Lumi.'
[Hehehe~ (灬º‿º灬)]
"So that's her true appearance?" Orion asked Selene.
"Yes, dear," Selene softly nodded while patting the girl's head. "Soone placed an illusion spell on her for so reason. Probably so no one could recognize her. And it's a quite high-level spell."
Eldric turned to Orion. "So, what do you plan to do with her? Keep her with us? Or what?"
Orion lowered his head in contemplation. Eldric and Selene looked at each other and decided to give him ti.
After a short few seconds, he raised his head. "I don't think she's in any condition to leave by herself. And I still have many things I need to confirm with her."
Selene nodded her head. "Then we'll keep her with us. She'll be your third maid."
Orion hesitated. "Maid? Are you su—"
"She's already your slave, and being your maid isn't a sha but an honor. You are my grandson, after all," Selene proudly declared.
Orion swallowed what he was about to say, instead agreeing with her. "Then I'll take her away. She needs a good bath."
Selene mischievously smiled. "Will you bathe her?"
"Huh? No! Of course not. Rina and Fiora will help her with the bath," Orion quickly rejected. He didn't want to taint his image in his grandmother's eyes.
"Hehe, I'm joking. You should go," she fondly smiled and patted his head.
Eldric shook his head, watching her tease Orion again. "Don't tease him too much, lest he starts hating you."
Selene shook her head confidently. "Of course he won't hate . He would hate you first before , if anything."
Eldric's lips twitched. Sighing lightly, he took out an envelope. "Well, at least the damn dean of that academy replied. Orion can go there now whenever he wants and register. But he'll have to take the tests himself—the dean wants to see my grandson's capabilities."
