Benton Estate, Uptown Quarter.
Escorted by the Magi of the Black Legion, Adam arrived at the grand manor of the Lord Marshall of Ravenfell.
As he climbed the marble stairs to the manor's entrance doors, he couldn't help but think to himself in surprise, The title of Count? I truly did not expect that!
What changed Lady Benton's mind? Considering how our conversation went last week, I didn't think she would reward me with anything, much less a noble title.
What's gotten into her? I wonder…
Suddenly, he noticed a tall man donning an obsidian armour and a gray cape, just like the rest of the members of the Black Legion, standing by the towering oak doors.
He had a lean yet muscular build, and was a head taller than most of his peers. His hair was dark and he sported a neatly trimmed mustache and a goatee, giving him the appearance of a refined and mature man.
