Mobuseka:Leon's Adventure-Chapter 107

After a couple of hours, Angelica finally returned. A bright, genuine smile lit up her face, as if the whole world belonged to her in that very moment. Her happiness was so infectious that even the gloomiest of days would seem brighter in her presence. The reason behind her joy was that her father had agreed to let her return home with Leon for a while—she could travel with him to the Bartfort family estate. The news thrilled her, and barely able to contain her excitement, she eagerly urged Leon to board the airship and set off as soon as possible.

"Come on, Leon!" she said, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Let's go already!"

Leon, noticing her unfiltered enthusiasm, couldn't help but smile. Gladly, he followed her and stepped aboard the airship, steering it toward the Bartfort family estate. During the flight, Olivia watched Angelica with a curious expression, raising an eyebrow. There was a silent question written all over her face, as if she was just about to ask something.

"Angie," she began softly, "why are you so excited to go to Leon's place? What's so special about it?"

Angelica cleared her throat gently, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. It was clear she was trying to choose her words carefully.

"Livia, you probably don't know this," she said, "but the Bartfort family's lands are some of the most renowned in the entire kingdom."

"Really?" Olivia gasped, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Mhm," Angelica nodded with a gentle smile. "Their fame actually started... with food. Believe it or not, the dishes from the Bartfort estate have long been considered real delicacies! They say the cuisine there rivals the royal kitchen. And—get this—Leon himself had a hand in that."

Hearing this, Olivia turned to Leon, her eyes sparkling with honest admiration and surprise.

"Wow, Leon, you... you can cook too?"

"Well... something like that," Leon mumbled, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"That's amazing!" Olivia exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement. "You're good at so many things..."

After saying that, she suddenly became shy. Her voice softened, and her gaze dropped to the floor. A blush crept onto her cheeks as she nervously asked her next question:

"Um... would you maybe... cook something now?"

"Hm?" Leon raised an eyebrow, clearly caught off guard by the request.

At that moment, Angelica shook her head quickly, as if encouraging him while also giving him a gentle push. Her voice took on a playful yet sincere tone:

"Come on, please cook something for us!" she said, stepping so close that only a few inches separated them, arms crossed as she looked up at him.

Leon paused for a second, then, seeing her eager and utterly charming expression, he sighed deeply and gave a small, amused smile.

"Alright, I'll whip something up..." he said, already heading toward the galley. "But just so you know, don't expect anything fancy. There aren't a lot of ingredients on this ship."

"Fiiine~!" the girls chimed in unison, their voices singing with anticipation as if already imagining the delicious taste.

Once Leon disappeared into the ship's kitchen, Olivia leaned toward Angelica, her eyes glowing with curiosity.

"So, what else is the Bartfort territory famous for?" she asked, as if afraid to miss out on any more fascinating details.

Angelica closed her eyes, a confident smile playing on her lips. She seemed to bask in a moment of proud satisfaction before speaking again:

"Thanks to Leon, the Bartfort lands are now one of the kingdom's most important trade routes. And that's not an exaggeration. You could say he practically wiped out all the sky pirates—not just in his own territory, but even in neighboring baronies and viscountcies."

She opened her eyes and took a light breath, her voice full of enthusiasm as she continued:

"Because of that, the trade routes are safe now—so merchants love doing business with House Bartfort. They've got tons of valuable goods, and they're sold not just within our kingdom, but abroad too. Honestly, their economy is stronger than that of some earls."

"That's... really impressive," Olivia whispered, clearly amazed.

"But that's not all," Angelica added with a smile. "The land is also known as one of the most popular tourist destinations."

"Tourist destinations?" Olivia echoed with interest.

Angelica nodded confidently.

"Actually, there are two Bartfort households."

"Two?" Olivia turned her entire body toward her, surprised.

"Yup," Angelica confirmed. "The first is Baron Bartfort's estate, headed by Leon's father, Barcus. The second is the Viscountcy of Bartfort, ruled by Leon himself. That sometimes happens in kingdoms where younger nobles have achieved great merit."

She paused for a moment, then continued with genuine excitement:

"Usually in cases like that, the estates are far apart—but here, it's different. The two lands are actually connected by two massive floating islands! And the part that belongs to Leon is especially suited for tourism. It has hot springs, tons of attractions, resort areas, and even special spots for romantic dates..."

"Romantic...?" Olivia repeated, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.
