The journey from Flashgold Town to Habbs Manor was not far; about ten minutes later, the convoy approached the manor's entrance.
At this moment, four guards standing at the manor's entrance grew tense at the sight of the approaching mass of people. One was immediately dispatched to report inside, while the others focused intently on their guard duty.
However, upon seeing the Kalin bird emblem of the Habus family on the carriage, the guards visibly relaxed.
Our own people!
As Rein and the others disembarked, the guards exchanged looks of surprise and joy, "It's Shadia, the Chief Maid!"
"God in heaven! Lady Creya! Lady Creya has also returned!" several guards shouted with glee.
But Rein's transformation had been so significant that the guards found him both familiar and stranger; for a moment, they hesitated to recognize him.
Soon, a familiar figure hastened out from within the manor, none other than Lloyd, the steward of Habbs Manor.
