Volume 3 Chapter 35: Representative
Volume 3 Chapter 35: Representative
On the day of departure, everyone packed everything into the carriages. Keith asked Leon and Laura, "Did the two of you pack your clothes?"
"Mmhmm!" The two children smiled brightly. The two didn't have dark expressions like before. A bright one replaced it. Keith smiled,
"That's good," Like that, everyone entered the carriage. It was time to depart to the academy.
"Boss! Good luck at the academy!"
"Be careful out there, Young Master!"
"Work hard!"
As the carriage set off, Keith was seen off by everyone at the estate. They understood it would be a long time before they met him again.
"I'll see you guys soon when I have a break!" Keith waved his hand as the carriage set off. William and Sophia smiled,
"They will miss you a lot,"
"Heh," Keith scratched his cheeks. The carriage headed off to the teleportation gate.
"What in the world?!" Keith's eyes widened as he saw something he never expected. There were banners everywhere!
Number 1 in the academy!
Young Master Keith is the best!
Good luck!
"..." Keith rubbed his eyes when he saw all of this. Keith turned to William and Sophia. The two shook their heads, signaling they weren't the ones who did this.
He turned to the other three, who did the same.
"Ay! They made it in time!" Michael shouted from outside.
"Oh my!" Camelia and Lionel caught each one in their arms.
"Leon, did you grow taller?" Lionel smiled as he stared down at Leon.
"Mmhmm!" Leon nodded.
"And Laura became so much cuter!"
"Eh!" Laura nodded.
The two grandparents dotted on them like no tomorrow. Keith and the others chuckled at the sight, "Let's go in and have some of these snacks,"
Camelia suggested. And like that, they headed to the living room. It was a staple when the entire family arrived at the Bradley estate. Keith would bring a crate of pudding for them to try.
"Pudding!" Leon and Laura's eyes brightened when they saw the puddings.
"Mind your manners. Let grandma and grandpa take it first," Sophia stated.
"It's fine. The two can have it." Camelia smiled. With that comment, Leon and Laura grabbed a pudding,
"Keith, are you going to get your uniform today?" That was the other thing they had to get from here.
Keith shook his head, "I'm going to get it tomorrow. I need to calm down and rest before I go out," After seeing what everyone in the city did for him, he almost couldn't hold it in.
"I see," Like that, they were going to rest up. Keith stretched out his hand as he started to relax. He watched Leon and Laura eat their pudding. It was a soothing sight.
William asked Keith, "Keith, have you decided what to do with the bakeries and merchant group?"
This was something that he ought to do.
White Owl Merchant Group and White Forest Bakery were all under Keith. And since Keith was going to the academy, he wouldn't have time to manage them.
That was why William decided there should be a representative to deal with all of this in his stead. Keith smiled,
"Don't worry, Father. I've decided on who I want to be my representative," He prepared for this.
