Chapter 110 Home (3)



"Welcome, young master," the butler waiting along with the maids and servants of the Pendragons, exclaimed with a warm smile as Eren, accompanied by Sears and Hubert, alighted from the carriage.

The grand castle of the Pendragon Family loomed before them, not as opulent as the royal palace but still an impressive structure, bustling with numerous butlers and maids diligently attending to their duties.

"Was everything well in our absence, Hans?"

Eren's father inquired about the well-being of the household and the region during their absence, showing the immense trust they had in their loyal butler, Hans, to manage everything in their stead.

"Everything is well, Master."

Hans had been an integral part of the Pendragon family for years, akin to a beloved grandfather to Eren, and his presence brought fond memories flooding back to Eren.

Eren thought seeing the kind smile on Hans' face.

It has been more than a week since the Pendragon family of Hubert, Sears and Huges departed to the capital suddenly. They left the estate in the care of Hans and had quickly made their way to the royal palace after receiving a letter from the Tower of Justice.

They had done so because they had that much trust in Hans and were sure that he would be able to manage the estate in their absence.

"How have you been, Hans?" Eren inquired with genuine affection, a bright smile adorning his face at the sight of the familiar butler.

"I have been well, young master. Seeing you smile, I hope you are well too," Hans replied in his characteristic profound voice, unaware of Eren's hidden struggles.

Eren's past three months were nothing but peaceful, first the incident at the exile, then the ranking battles and after that was his encounter with the rebel's in the royal museum. Words were not enough to describe how chaotic it's been.

Nevertheless, Hans was unaware of the trials and chaos that had filled Eren's life since his return, but the older man's concern and caring nature warmed Eren's heart.

"Yes, I am fine," Eren replied, concealing his true emotions behind a facade of composure.

It had taken them three days to reach the Pendragon Barony in a carriage from the royal palace while going through two different portals and throughout the journey, Eren had been spending time with family.

It was like he went on a vacation. Though they were accompanied by royal escorts,Eren enjoyed the journey thoroughly.

Now that they are back in Pendragon region, it was already noon and the sun was setting in the horizon painting the sky with an orange hue.

Except for the relief of finally reaching the destination, everyone was feeling tired because of the long journey. Even Eren was tired of it as although he enjoyed his time with the family, sitting inside the carriage all day had made his butt go numb.

Noticing his son's fatigue, Hubert placed a comforting hand on Eren's head.

"Go rest for today, we will discuss the matters tomorrow."

"Yes, I will be right out."

Eren casually talked with Hans, for him he was more like a parent figure.

Eren put the bathrobe on as he quickly exited the bathroom. Hans was standing there with a smile on his face and a tray with a cup in his hand.

"Here you go, young master," Hans said, offering a cup of cold water.

"Great, thanks."

Eren quickly gulped it down and thanked him. He felt at ease around Hans, as the old man had a calming presence.

"Young master, we will start to dress you now."

"Hmm"

The door opened, and a couple of servants entered to assist with dressing him. This was the first time in his new life that he felt a tad embarrassed, realizing the luxuries that came with being a noble.

"Something simple today please."

Eren hated really complicated attire. Simple clothes that let you relax comfortably were the best.

"Yes, Young master."

The servants in charge of the attire quickly pulled out some clothes and Eren changed into the simplest of them all.

Eren slightly frowned after finishing getting dressed. Although considered "simple" for nobles, he found the attire to be quite extravagant compared to the academic uniform he was used to wearing.

Dressed in a white shirt with a black long coat adorned with red linings and black pants, And there was also a golden lined belt around his waist.

'These clothes were probably picked by mother.'

Eren thought as he remembered some of his childhood memories where his mother used to dress him with different clothes and enjoy. There was also times when she would dress Eren as a girl and take him on a stroll through their barony which was very embarrassing for Eren.

Reminiscing the old memories, Eren turned to Hans, who was once again smiling like a gentle old man.

"Hans, let's go," Eren said, ready to face the day's adventures.

"Yes, young master," Hans replied warmly, accompanying Eren to the dining hall.
