"Sebastian..." Never had she thought that Sebastian would be the first to bow before her.
"Once Nigel recovers from his injury, have him over to the Ford Group and co-sign a contract with me. That land by the edge of South City will be developed by the Ford Group alongside the Conor Group," said Sebastian.
Nigel, his aunt, and his uncle-in-law froze.
"Sebastian..." Nigel looked at him, red-eyed.
Sebastian glanced over at him mockingly. "You helpless brat!"
"You're right, Sebastian," Nigel said as he laughed in response.
"Hurry up and recover. Aino keeps badgering us, saying that she doesn't have an uncle for her to let her ride on. That ought to be you from now on!"
"That little thing chose the right person to be her horse, then," Nigel said as his laugh grew even more cheerful.
Next to him, Minerva was smiling as well. "That naughty little thing Aino loves horse-riding."
Sebastian's attention was instantly drawn to Minerva at her words. He glanced over at her before saying to Nigel, "The young lady came here to South City all
alone, and she was the one who took care of you the entire way, so you are responsible for making arrangements for her college education! It's much better to get enrolled in universities in South City than the ones on the island." 1
"Sebastian, I would have taken care of that, even if you didn't remind me about it. Minerva is a nice girl," Nigel paused to look at Minerva and continued, "Wait until I recover, and I'll take you to see Aino. The two of you are about the same age, so you two should make great playmates."
"I... I'm eleven years older than Aino!" she protested.
"Naha..."
