Chapter 303: Invitation
Chapter 303: Invitation
"It's been a long time since I've been to the Royal Capital. It's become prosperous again."
Walking on the main street, Anna looked around at the surroundings. The effect of Abundant Magic on infrastructure construction was very strong. Only the believers of the God of Bountiful Harvest could restore the Royal Capital to this extent in such a short time.
Many nobles from other countries had moved in. So many people had died here, creating many opportunities, so naturally, some would want to come.
Even now, Blackened ones would still occasionally appear, but the numbers were small, and the Church could easily handle them.
"Let's go order a cake first, then prepare some gifts for Luna, and finally go find Luna."
In the past, birthdays weren't this lively. Basically, it was just Loren preparing a few cakes and that was it. After all, there were only four people at home, and they basically didn't interact with outsiders.
There were many people who wanted to use the opportunity to give gifts to Loren, but Loren didn't need those things and didn't want them disturbing his and the children's birthdays.
The cake was easy, but the gifts were a bit troublesome. Loren didn't know what Luna liked. Logically, the Night Amulet was the most suitable gift, but Loren had already given it to her in advance.
But that didn't matter. Loren wasn't trying to deliberately please her. The thought counted. Loren estimated that just the fact that he came to celebrate Luna's birthday would make Luna excited for half a day.
Loren was very efficient and quickly arranged everything, ready to go find Luna.The people at the cake shop were stunned when they heard Loren ordered a six-tier cake two meters wide, followed by ecstatic joy. They closed the shop directly and started focusing on making Loren's cake.
Loren went to find Luna alone, while the others went to purchase other items, like various decorations.
Naclis wanted to appear more mature, and Anna only cared about eating, so in the past, their birthdays had no decorations. These things were quite novel to them.
...
"Do you think Master Mentor will come?"
Inside the room, Luna sat on her bed, hugging a pillow, her chin resting on top of it.
"Relax, Master Mentor will definitely come."
Jessica sat on a chair by Luna's bed, comforting her.
"Master Mentor is very good to you, but his kindness is very simple. What you need to do is transform this feeling, tell Master Mentor you're not a child anymore, you're an adult."
"How do I tell him that?"
This was outside Luna's knowledge. Jessica was also at a loss for words.
She had discovered while chatting with Luna before that Luna was so pure she didn't seem like someone her age. She genuinely thought children were given by the Church after two people got married.
"How should I explain this to you..."
Jessica had a headache. She really didn't know how to tell her.
Fortunately, a knock sounded at the door. Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and got up to answer it.
"It should be my mom. If it were anyone else, my mom would have told me."
Luna's social relationships weren't actually that bad. In class, she got along quite well with the commoner girls. It was just that she had been targeted by Sylvia before, causing others to not dare be with her much, only coming to comfort Luna a few words after class when Sylvia and the others weren't around.
"Auntie... Master Mentor?"
Jessica also thought it was Luna's mother, but when she opened the door, she saw a figure in a black robe.
"Mas... Mas... Master Mentor!"
Hearing Jessica's voice, Luna scrambled off the bed, tripped over her own slippers, and fell flat at the doorway.
After she pushed herself up, a hand extended in front of her. Luna instinctively grabbed it. Only after Loren pulled her up did she realize something.
"Goo... Good morning! Master Mentor!"
Luna let go of Loren's hand, suddenly stood at attention, and said something completely off-topic.
"It's afternoon now... I feel like you're mocking me. I usually only sleep until noon."
Loren glanced at his watch and quipped.
Jessica covered her forehead and sighed. She had told Luna so much, but it was completely useless.
"No... I didn't..."
Luna stammered, unable to even explain.
"Forget it, let's talk business first. We've all come to the Royal Capital to celebrate your birthday here.
"We're preparing a birthday party for you at my new house. Do you have any friends you'd like to invite?"
"I..."
Luna couldn't speak for a moment. Loren was used to it. Even when she lived at Loren's house before, Luna was like this, speaking less than one of Movila's clones.
Seeing Luna couldn't say anything for the moment, Loren looked at the other girl beside her:
"And this is?"
"Hello, Master Mentor. My name is Jessica. I'm Luna's classmate. I've long heard of your great name."
Compared to Luna, her friend was much calmer. Loren could tell she was indeed very excited after seeing him, but it didn't affect her actions.
Her reaction wasn't strange. Loren's status in this world was higher than Michael Jackson's. Anyone seeing Loren would get excited.
"Hello."
Loren shook hands with Jessica. Loren could even feel Jessica trembling with excitement, but she didn't show anything, setting an example for Luna.
"Does Luna have any other good friends at school? We can invite them to Luna's birthday party too."
Seeing Luna still standing there dazed, Loren simply started talking to Jessica. This was much more efficient.
"There are indeed..."
Jessica affirmed, but she still wanted to ask Luna's opinion:
"Should I call Phoris and the others?"
"Okay..."
Luna instinctively agreed. Jessica smiled, patted Luna's shoulder, and walked out:
"I'll go tell them about your birthday party. You discuss the other details with Master Mentor first."
"Here's the address. Come here tomorrow night."
Loren handed the note with the address to Jessica. He understood Jessica's intention; she wanted Luna to be alone with him.
Loren had seen Jessica before, just never knew her name. Back then, she was inseparable from Luna. Several times Luna came to find him was because of Jessica's encouragement.
"Having a friend like Jessica is really good."
Luna was currently wearing pajamas. After the fall just now, her collar was messy. Loren was carefully straightening her collar for her.
And if it weren't for Jessica, Luna probably wouldn't have been able to endure Sylvia's bullying. So Loren was quite grateful to Jessica.
They were very close. Luna could smell Loren's scent, making her head feel a little dizzy.
