Once the nobleman arrived at the front door of the mansion, the carriage door opened, and his guardian knight stepped down, followed by the nobleman himself. A maid was already standing in front of the door, but even from outside, it was clear that she did not appreciate their arrival. Without much regard, she turned away and said,
"Follow me."
The nobleman, already in a foul mood, grew even more irritated. Her indifferent and disrespectful attitude made his anger flare, but he forced himself to remain composed and followed her, his guardian knight trailing behind.
They were led to the guest room, where a man was already seated on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea, as if he had been expecting them.
At first, they were confused upon seeing the young man. Who is he? But their question was soon answered when the maid bowed to him.
"My lord, they are here."
Aldrian nodded. "Good. You may return to your post."
