Chapter 561
During afternoon lunch, Mr. Jenkins knocked on Anton’s door to inform him that lunch would be served in his room.
“Why here?” Anton asked the butler.
“Your father said that a lot of people are still busy learning the manor’s business, so he decided that the lunch gathering was postponed and everyone will just gather for dinner later tonight.”
Anton then asked Raymond what had happened during the hours he had spent stewing in his room. The butler informed him that a young lady attendant had been hired to assist Lady Luna and Sir Andrew. When Anton heard Raymond calling the two Lady and Sir, he laughed and asked why the title. Raymond admitted that it appeared that both children were happy to be called that way, and every servant in the manor obliged.
Basically, from then on, everyone was lady and sir except for Anton himself. He decided to let them be when it came to how everyone addressed everyone else. He would not impose his preferences on others.
Raymond informed him that Anders gave Luna and Alfred’s attendant some coins so that the two could go to the city to shop for clothes and other stuff they wanted to buy. The two children were followed by their new attendant, their guardian, Mr. Normandy, a couple of maids, and three bodyguards.
“That entourage sounds excessive,” Anton asked the butler, but Raymond assured him that it was just “enough”.
Mr. Jenkins told Anton that when Anna heard that Luna and Alfred would go on a shopping spree, she asked for coins from Anders, and after that, they also went to the nearest shopping centers to shop. Their entourage was bigger than Luna and Alfred’s.
The only ones who remained in the manor were Anna’s teacher, Supreme Munetta, and accompanying her was Ms. Elianah. The two stayed in one of the seating rooms overlooking the gardens. Apparently, Anna’s teacher and Elianah loved looking at and smelling the flowers in the garden while listening to the recorder that Anna left with her teacher.
Anders was closeted with Romina, Bruce, Susan, and Ronia, and they kept talking about the manor, the flower shop, the fruit orchard that would be built, and other businesses that they could enter.
Raymond told him that when Romina asked Anders if they could capitalize on your enchanting abilities and the movies, Anton’s father stopped that idea. Anders said that the three of you would be focused on dungeon delving and studying, and the main reason for that was to increase your abilities. That meant that you and Anna shouldn’t be involved in a business that would not help in increasing your powers. The only thing that Anders allowed Anton to be involved in was casting the Mana rain once or twice every month.
Anton appreciated his father’s understanding. After Raymond’s report, the butler left him to eat his lunch and returned to Anders’s office to join the meeting.
In the meantime, Anton felt a little guilty for not entering his Diablo II system to increase the level of his newly created Sorcerer. He knew that he should have been focused on increasing the character’s level because, for now, that was the surest way for him to increase his power.
But then again, once he returned to dungeon delving, Anton knew that he could focus on leveling up his characters then so he decided to just continue being idle and returned to reading his web novel.
At around three in the afternoon, Anton’s idleness was interrupted by Raymond, informing him that his father and Anna had asked him to join them in one of the manor’s seating rooms for snacks.
In the seating room, Anders and Anna asked him to sing, and he obliged them by singing a medley of Disney songs. Anton laughed out loud when Anders scolded Anna, who kept boasting about the films that she had seen where the songs came from.
That night after dinner, everyone returned to the cinema room to continue watching the Harry Potter film series. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the movie that would be shown, and everyone was excited based on the chatter that Anton was overhearing.
After the movie ended, there was another impromptu discussion party that happened, and it lasted for a couple of hours. Anton was commandeered by the teenagers regarding some of the scenes from the films and which parts from the books were not in the movies. After an hour of talking, Anton scolded everyone that he was tired of talking and was done for the night.
The next day, Anton learned that Anna’s teacher had decided that there would be lessons for her students for two hours every day, to the chagrin of Anna and her classmates. Elianah and her sister and her friends also decided to return home and would only return every night to watch the next Harry Potter films.
Luna and Alfred were also grumbling because Mr. Jenkins and Ronia had already found several tutors for them, and lessons for them would also start. At least their lessons would only be in the mornings. The rest of the day was for them to do anything they wanted.
Romina started managing the manor with the help of Mr. Jenkins, Ronia, and Ms. Noria. Bruce and Susan started their fruit orchard project with the help of a lot of the manor’s servants and gardeners. Thankfully, Anton could cast the Blizzard spell converted into Mana Rain from his room to the orchard garden. He could basically cover every inch of the manor with his spell-casting ability from his room.
Anders and his mercenary group commandeered the plot of land behind the manor as their training ground. Anton’s father said that the manor would also be their headquarters since it was big enough, and he currently didn’t plan to increase the size of his adventurer group.
Anton had learned through Raymond that every member of Anders’s Adventurer Group was extremely delighted when they realized that their leader was very wealthy and could basically provide everything they would need to make sure that they were all well-equipped before delving into the dungeons of Ormunda. He had to admit that Raymond was truly competent since he even learned that Anders would start his group in the Beginner Dungeon 5th floor.
Anders was using his dire wolf, which came from the enchanted item that Anton had made for him, to train his group how to fight the monsters. Anton didn’t know if what they were learning was good, but he didn’t care to see them.
During the movie screening for the third film in the Harry Potter movie series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a lot more people joined them. Three Supreme Wizards from Anna’s magic academy arrived. They were invited by Supreme Munetta, so Anders had no choice but to receive them respectfully.
Timothy Mondraz, the one who assisted Anton in purchasing the manor, and his family also arrived without invitations. They had learned from Elianah about the movie screening and shamelessly came to view the movie.
Laloniah and her friends also brought a lot more people who were her friends from school, and all of them were young elven girls.
That meant they had to watch the film in one of the manor’s ballrooms since it was one of the rooms that was big enough to accommodate all those who wanted to watch the movie. Apparently, most of the servants also wanted to watch the films.
