Aidan got up as usual at dawn. Trying not to wake up his kitties, he went into the kitchen and started making breakfast. He wanted to spend the next months in the guild, even if he had to go on assignments, then only with friends. In addition, he was not going to mess around all the time - there was enough money, so he had to start building his own mansion.

After breakfast with Charlie and Wendy, Aidan headed to the Traders 'Guild, and then to the Builders' Guild. On his way with Tenryu, he managed to exchange his wealth for money and therefore now had hundreds of millions of precious ones in his hands. With such wealth, he was more than confident in his own plans.

After concluding several important deals, Aidan was able to buy out large land near Magnolia, hire a hundred workers and purchase resources for construction. Approximately two days went through the negotiation and hiring process, as well as the creation of a complete building plan with several experienced architects. Unfortunately, after that it was necessary to wait a few more days for some responsible persons and craftsmen to arrive from the capital.

In total, Aidan spent about two weeks dealing with this case. In the magical world, much could be done much easier, but at the same time there were complications. Fortunately, in the end, everything was resolved and now for about two years he can only occasionally observe the construction process. On this score, he was not particularly worried, the prices had long been established, and the money was issued to the merchant guild. Everything was controlled by responsible and experienced people, Aidan only had to nail down at the end and pick up the finished product.

When everything was finally over, he returned to the guild and, regretting the tie with the booze, began to read books in the library, together with Cana. Even though he understood that it would not be possible to find a way to solve his problem in books, he still loved to spend time with a good book.

- Your own palace, hell, how long have you become so rich? - Cana remarked with a grin, without even touching the books. Her gaze never left the concentrated face of the wizard, immersed in the book.

- I came across a pirate boarding, they were already robbing traders from Bosco. So I got on the ship with them, and we headed to a neighboring country. Had to be late ... In the Trade Province in the Minstrel, I exchanged heaps of gold at the bank, and then we finally went to Fiore.

- Trade Province? - Cana asked with interest: - What's this? I've heard of Minstrel Country, but this is the first time I've heard of Trade Province.

Aidan put the book down and replied:

- The Trade Province is one of the six provinces of the Minstrel. As the name implies, it specializes mainly in trade, mainly maritime. This country is surrounded by several others, so it would not be a mistake to call it one of the richest. It is also closest to Bosco and Fiore. After Tenryu, along with a team of rescued merchants, I traveled a bit with them. Believe me, they weren't at all against the guy with a mountain of gold on his ship.

- Ha, I have no doubt ... - Cana took a sip of wine and leaned forward slightly, resting her thin chin in her small hand. From a slight intoxication, a charming blush appeared on her cheeks:

- So ... you have changed a lot. I remember the last time you visited the women's guild, who fell in love with you this time? Mm?

- W-what? - Aidan tensed: - You think about it a lot, jealous girlfriend ...

- I? Jealous? You don't know me well, - Cana took a couple of sips and leaned back in her chair:

- By the way, I'm thinking about finding myself a boyfriend ...

- You that? - the guy raised an eyebrow in surprise: - Well, good luck ...

- What ?! - Cana was obviously angry and slammed on the table: - What kind of look is that ?! Do you think I can't find a guy with such a gorgeous appearance?

Aidan finally put the book down and looked at his friend in annoyance.

- Good luck to your boyfriend, - and grinned ominously: - I want to see how this bastard will pass through me, and then your father!

The girl's face instantly showed surprise, and then obvious embarrassment:

- W-what ...

Laughing, the wizard slammed the table and leaned forward, approaching the girl's face:

- I said, if suddenly you decided to find yourself a boyfriend, I will break all his bones!

- Wh-what ?! Cana immediately stood up like Aidan and slammed her forehead into his, growling:

- Well, repeat it!

- Uh ... Um, am I not distracting you? - suddenly heard a quiet voice nearby. Levy decided to visit the library as usual and read in peace, but once again she ran into Aidan, and now also some kind of scandal. Levi already had goosebumps as she saw this guy!

"God, they are so close ... They are not going to ..." - the girl blushed, realizing in what position these two are and how she recently saw Aidan and Erza. From this, her violent fantasy played out again!

Only two of them didn't even pay attention to her. Continuing to burn each other with sparkling eyes:

- You dare not!

- How dare I!

- You are not my father!

- I am your friend!

Cana's lips curled sharply and she snorted.

- A friend with a bunch of women! Are you building a house for your harem ?! The fun life of a prince! You want to drag me into bed too ?!

Aida got angry:

- What if I want to ?!

- Y-you ... you ... - the table under Kana's hands has already begun to crack: - That's how ... Well, come on! What are you waiting for?!

Sharply slapping on the table, Aidan smashed it to pieces, and then immediately approached the girl and grabbed her chic hips. Cana reacted immediately and jumped on him, wrapping her slender legs around his torso. There was a crash, and merging in a passionate kiss, the couple crashed into the wall! Levy, watching all this lewdness, trembled, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her cheeks were a strong blush, and she began to slowly retreat.

- W-again ... But what is it ... - the girl's tears came, and she panicked. Swallowing, Levi pulled herself together and ran away; she was definitely not going to stay here. All desire to read quickly vanished!
