Beep! Beep!

Luke frowned and opened his eyes. He then looked at his desk and saw the magic communication device he got from the crown prince glowing. He then brushed his face with his hands and sighed. He also saw Nash waking up from the noise.

Of all the times Lance can call, why now?

"What's going on?"

Luke ignored Nash's question and just grabbed the magic communication device on the desk and looked at Nash with tired eyes. Nash then frowned and sighed while he's putting some mana in the communication device on Luke's hand.

Luke then saw a screen appearing in front of him. He then saw the crown prince's also tired eyes. They looked at each other, with tired eyes. They are both tired.

"Greetings to the future sun and glory of our kingdom. You look very dashing and princely today."

· You bastard, you think I can't sense the sarcasm in your voice?

Luke and Lance both sighed and massaged their heads to ease their headache, they got no time to play or joke with each other since they both want to rest so badly.

"Anyways, why did you call today? Your highness? You look pretty tired."

· Why did you think I called you?

Luke frowned and started to think. he then looked at Lance as if he finally knew what he was talking about.

"You already got the ownership for Mount Ceb? That's fast."

Luke could see Lance sitting back on his chair. Instead of looking like a charm, attractive prince, he looked like a tired next-door uncle from work.

· Thankfully, Mother and Father let me be because they still thought that Mount Ceb will still be full of monsters. And my brothers almost laughed at me for owning a useless mountain.

Luke nodded as if finally understood his situation. Who said that being an underdog in the family has no good sides? Take Lance here as an example.

"It is indeed useless now, your highness. But it will soon be a mountain of treasures and deadly weapons."

Lance closed his eyes and smiled while thinking about the military advantage that he'll have once everything goes well. He then looked at Luke who was smiling slyly despite having tired eyes.

· Come to the mountain tomorrow with Sir Klein. I also already picked some amazing inventors all over the kingdom to be his helpers. I'll send you the coordinates and use the teleportation circle in the mansion to get there.

Luke then heard Nash's voice in his head.

· No need to go to the teleportation room! I could make a teleportation circle right here, right now!

Luke looked at the back of the screen and saw Nash proudly smiling at him. Luke just sighed. he just wants to rest.

"Then I will meet you there. Your highness."

Lance didn't answer and just ended the call without a warning. Luke just frowned from the cold treatment but just let it slide. He then lies down on the bed again and slowly started to fall asleep.

-----------------

it's early in the morning. the sun is rising, birds are chirping, and all the mansion workers started to do their usual morning routine. It was a very basic but peaceful day for everyone. It will make you want to drink hot tea while looking outside the window.

Well, that is what Luke was planning but some unexpected guests were entering his room in this early morning.

Luke's eyebrow twitched while looking at Liam, all clean and neat, sitting in front of him with an innocent expression. It seems that the maids took good care of him as he ordered. Instead of looking like a beggar, he now looks like a fine young man.
