<span style="font-weight:400">When they returned for dinner,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, you met with them. Please keep it a secret." William requested. Hearing how the two followed Keith to the forest, it was expected they had met with the snowballs.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Krystal nodded. Of course, she would keep this under wraps. If anyone else found out about this, they would definitely go crazy with it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But Uncle William, I think the king knows about this?" From how Carolyn reacted, this was not their first meeting.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, Julius knows about this. So does the headmaster and deputy headmaster." Only a handful of people outside the city knew about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Krystal turned to Keith,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean what? You’re clearly acting too nonchnt about this." The man continued to be so carefree. It was concerning.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn shook her head, "He''s always been like that."
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">After dinner, Keith had entered May''s room. And when he was there, Mel quickly bowed,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I have a moment of her time?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Master, what do you need?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Um, am I bothering you?" May looked slightly distraught. There were a lot of letters on her desk. She shook her head, "No! It''s nothing, Young Master!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I was thinking about making a chocte factory." Keith grinned. And when that was said,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"A chocte factory?" May was interested.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s a ce where we can sell chocte sweets and other delicious things." There were many things he could do with chocte. And having a factory that solely focused on making it was lovely.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think that can be arranged." May thought about it as she added, "We can also put it as a storefront and a factory behind it, which would make it easier for workers."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, that was what I was thinking as well. That way, they could get the chocte treats as well." Keith couldn''t hide his excitement. May nodded, "Then I will have Coyler find a plot ofnd where we can do so."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great! We''ll also need to find new workers," Keith grinned. It was time for him to do some recruiting again!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Umm, Young Master, I know it''s your break. But can we go somewhere?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Where do you want to go?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, you see, there''s a bakery opening up, and it''s our 50th one. So I was asked to do the grand opening. But since you''re here, you should be able to go, right?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, sure. I can go with you." Woah, we''re opening our 50th one. This was a little surprising. He had gotten to the point where he had opened so much in the northern region.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"When are we leaving?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re going tomorrow."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then I''m going to pack up!" Keith grinned as he headed out.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"You two behave and listen to your big brother, understand?" Sophia warned the two children. It was time for them to head off to the town for the grand opening of the 50th store. Keith and May weren''t going alone; four people wereing along with him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll behave!" Leon and Laura sounded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go now!" Keith grinned. That was when they started to move.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s been so long since we have gone on a trip together like this!" Thest time he did so was a couple of months ago.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" Leon and Laura nodded. Actually, there has never been a time when they had gone out together for so long for the children. The two hadn''t gone out to hunt yet, which was unsurprising since they were kids. And the added gates really stomped camping and traveling. While that happened,

<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"This will be fun!" "Camping!" Leon and Laura grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" "Here, young master." May quickly brought out a tissue for him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Seriously, you''re acting like such a doting brother."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because I am."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s going to happen when you have a kid?" Carolyn wondered. But that was when her cheeks turned red.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith scoffed, "That''s years away!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, this would be your 50th store," Krystal muttered. She was quite surprised by the number of stores that opened like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded, "You know me, I have so manypetent people that I have to expand."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"And now you have expanded to the south as well." Her home is about to get one as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Well, it was more like your grandpa forced me to put one there." That was not his idea; Cedric was the one who pushed the damn thing onto him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Sorry."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine." Keith waved, "It''s just another person asking for it, which is unsurprising." This was not his first rodeo.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You either get annoyed by them for a lifetime or build one, right?" Carolyn grinned. She remembered what urred when the first bakery opened.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," Keithughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, isn''t it overkill to have you here?" Michael was going with him on this trip. Themander going on the trip with them? Yeah, that was pretty overkill in his book.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">That only caused Michael to scoff, "Rx, it''s not like I''m going to do anything horrible."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you being here is still crazy."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course! With so many people here, you need support." Michael pounded his chest. There were so many royals inside the carriage. Of course, he came as backup.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Are you kidding me?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, please. What could go wrong." Those words were something that was going to make Keith regret.
