A carriage rolled out of the city, carrying Daniel on a trip to Serenvale. He was in a hurry as there had been a few issues at a factory there. Though it was nothing too serious, his dad had insisted he go personally to handle it.

Daniel had been living in Serenvale for some time, but since his wife was pregnant, he had sent her back to the capital to prepare for childbirth. He figured he could hand off the factory’s affairs to the shopkeeper and return to the capital to pursue some other business ventures.

Having married at twenty, he was already a father with two sons, so he hoped they would have a daughter this time. In his family, taking a concubine was rare, and he had no plans to do so. He shared a deep bond with his wife, whom he had always brought along on business trips. Now, as their focus shifted back to the capital, their little family of four–soon to be five–would settle in the city.

Daniel hadn’t visited Carissa, but had gone to the academy to see Ryan. His teacher was now the main lecturer there, so he could easily visit the academy.

He hadn’t gone to Hell Monarch Estate because his business had yet to stabilize. Theodore had advised him not to make any visits until his business was secure, to avoid any rumors that the Hell Monarch’s household was helping the Sinclair family’s business.

Theodore was wise. He knew that prominent figures were often wary of too much association with merchants or powerful officials–even if they were family. Accusations could easily arise, so it was best to avoid the appearance of impropriety. If not careful, such connections could lead to ruin.

Thedore was very insightful, so everyone in the family asked for his advice when doing business and listened to what he had to say. The older man had advised them to maintain a distance during prosperous times and offered assistance when they fell on hard times. True families didn’t thrive or suffer together. Each had its own strengths, which allowed them to support one another when it mattered most. As the carriage rolled out of the city, dust kicked up behind it. The dust gradually settled, but no one noticed that the coachman had changed.
