In the second week of their market survey in Celestia, the Adonis couple stayed home today. Seeing Louis return with a cold expression, the two exchanged glances, as if already guessing the outcome of today's "purchase."
Mrs. Adonis spoke softly: "You couldn't buy the castle, Louis?"
Louis sat down opposite them and said quietly: "That's right, someone bought it before I could."
Mr. Adonis frowned: "It's not like this world is lacking castles. Is that place really that beautiful?"
Mrs. Adonis pinched his thigh. Mr. Adonis immediately blinked at her, looking utterly innocent.
Louis was already far too used to how his parents interacted. Mr. Adonis was strict, known for his cold and decisive demeanor outside, but beside Mrs. Adonis he was always a fool. And doting…
Doting? Who did his father dote on? Louis felt the sudden thought popping into his head was a little ridiculous.
He shook his head: "You wouldn't understand. I just felt that it was very special…"
