Having finished making a detailed plan for his training trip with Lilia and Roxene, Marcus decided to get some sleep since it had been the a few days since the last time he had let his mind rest.
Laying down in his large comfortable bed Marcus shut off his mind like a light bulb and entered the world of the unconscious.
…
A couple of days passed by, and it was now time for him to meet with the parents of Lilia's friends.
Marcus had come down the stairs to find that the pastries he had asked to be made as gifts being prepared by Stella and Leah.
At first, he had thought about giving out the same hairclips he had made for the duchess, but he soon realized those would only appeal to the women and since this was a much less formal gathering would seem excessive.
Taking one of the cream puffs that was being made, Marcus plopped it into his mouth and began eating it carefully assessing the taste.
