Chapter 140: Land Legislative

Amon eventually took a bath and returned to the hall with his hair still damp from the water.

He had changed into a simple shirt and trousers, and a few strands of wet hair rested against his forehead as he walked toward the dining area.

Ambrosia glanced at him for a little longer than usual, but she didn’t say anything.

Amon pretended not to notice and sat down at the dining table before pulling the plate of food closer to himself.

The smell coming from the dishes made him realize how hungry he actually was after everything that had happened during the day.

Ambrosia looked toward the hallway and raised her voice slightly. "Sidney, come eat."

A few seconds later, the sound of a door opening came from the other side of the apartment.

Sidney stepped out of her room wearing a loose white shirt and dark trousers, her long hair tied into a simple ponytail that swayed slightly as she walked.

She glanced toward Amon before pulling out the chair opposite him and sitting down.

"You’re back late," Sidney said.

"Business took longer than expected." Amon replied with a small smile.

"What kind of business?"

"Land."

Sidney raised an eyebrow but didn’t question him further.

Her toes slid slowly up the inside of his calf, then higher, until the soft sole of her foot pressed lightly against the front of his trousers.

Amon’s hand tightened around his spoon for a second.

Sidney’s expression stayed perfectly innocent as she began a slow, deliberate massage, rubbing the growing hardness with the arch of her foot.

Ambrosia soon brought the remaining dishes from the kitchen and sat down after placing them on the table.

She served food onto Sidney’s plate before doing the same for herself.

Sidney’s foot pressed more firmly, toes curling just enough to stroke him through the fabric.

Amon ate quietly for a few moments before looking toward her. "Ambrosia."

"Hm?" She hummed in response without raising her head.

"If I need some help with legal work, where should I go?"

Ambrosia finally looked at him. "What type of legal work?"

"Something related to land."

She put down her spoon and gave him a more attentive look.

"Be more specific."

Amon swallowed his food before explaining. "Seraphina’s mother bought some mana-rich land, and she wants to develop it."

Ambrosia nodded slowly.

Land containing concentrated mana was treated differently from ordinary property because its development could affect the surrounding mana flow and even nearby dungeon activity.

Depending on the location and the intended purpose, owners could require multiple permits from different authorities before they were allowed to construct buildings.

They also needed permission to establish training grounds, alter natural mana channels, or conduct activities related to dungeons.

Even something as simple as constructing an adventurer facility on mana-rich land could require inspections, environmental approval, dungeon-related clearance, and permission from the local authorities.

The government was particularly strict about such properties because poorly managed mana-rich land could become dangerous.

Ambrosia remained silent for a few seconds before answering. "I can help her with that."

Amon blinked. "You can?"

She nodded. "I have experience dealing with those kinds of cases."

Her expression became slightly more serious as she continued eating.

"I’ve handled several cases where clients wanted to sell or develop land that had been affected by dungeon activity."

"The legal procedures can become complicated, especially if the land has an abnormal mana concentration."

Amon’s expression brightened. "That’s perfect. I’ll talk to Felicia about it."

Sidney never stopped the slow movement of her foot.

Every time Amon shifted slightly she adjusted, keeping steady pressure against his cock.

Ambrosia narrowed her eyes slightly. "When did you get so close with her?"

Amon paused before a small smile appeared on his face. "Are you jealous?"

Sidney’s foot squeezed him more deliberately at the word.

Before Ambrosia could answer, Sidney looked between them with a confused expression. "Why would Mother be jealous?"

"Yeah. I am not jealous." Ambrosia immediately looked at Amon. "And you shouldn’t tease my mother like that."

Amon shrugged and returned his attention to his food. "Fine, fine."

Sidney looked at her mother for a moment before quietly continuing her dinner.

The conversation gradually shifted toward more ordinary matters.

---

Once dinner was finished, Amon collected several of the plates and carried them toward the kitchen.

Sidney followed him with the remaining dishes.

"You don’t have to help," Amon said as he placed the plates beside the sink.

"I know."

"Then why are you here?"

Sidney shrugged and mumbled softly. "Just to look at my handsome prince."

Amon looked at her with disbelief. "Am I just an object for you to see?"

"Don’t call yourself object." She replied with a small smile. "You are better than that."

Amon thought about it for a moment before focusing on washing the dish.

"By the way." Amon mumbled glancing back at her. "You aren’t planning to get pregnant by any chance right?"

"....Why would I?" She replied giving him a strange look. "I am not stupid enough to destroy our life."

"So....."

"I took the pills. Don’t worry." Her voice softened. "Unless you want me to stop."

"Not yet." Amon replied, shaking his head. "I will tell you when I am ready."

Sidney blushed a little before she lowered her head. "...I see."

Sidney laughed quietly. "We still got a long way before we even reach that point."

Amon shook his head and began rinsing one of the plates.

The two continued cleaning while casually talking about their day.

After a while, the sound of footsteps approached from the hallway.

Ambrosia entered the kitchen and stopped when she saw the two of them still washing the dishes.

She looked at Amon for a moment.

"Amon."

He turned toward her. "Hm?"

"Send me the number of Felicia. I want to talk with her."

Amon looked at Sidney before drying his hands with a nearby cloth. "Alright."

He stepped away from the sink and walked toward the hallway. "I’ll see you tomorrow, Sidney."

"Good night."

Amon started toward the hallway, then paused for half a second.

He glanced at Ambrosia. She had already turned to put something away and wasn’t looking at them.

In that brief moment he leaned in and pressed a quick, soft kiss to Sidney’s lips.

Sidney’s eyes widened. A warm blush spread across her cheeks.

When he pulled back she looked at him with a small, gentle smile, the kind that stayed only between the two of them.

As Amon walked towards his room, he thought. ’I should train my spirit a little more.’
