The next day, Aldrian was already prepared for his next journey—to the territory of the Buddhist sect. He had completed everything he needed to do in the Atria Empire, having said his goodbyes to the imperial family after visiting Marquess Weilmar the day before.
Now, he stood with his group in front of the mansion. Many of the mansion's staff were gathered there to see him off, including guards, butlers, and maids. The thought that Aldrian would no longer be their lord saddened them deeply. They had come to see him as part of Caritas, and even part of their family.
"Have a safe trip, my lord. I hope you succeed in whatever you set out to do on your journey," said an old butler to Aldrian as he bowed.
"Thank you for all your help, Sir Olav," Aldrian replied. Sir Olav was the one who had mainly overseen the mansion's order. He was also one of the people Aldrian had saved from Marquess Parus when he first arrived in Caritas.
