Shin then went back with the knight to take a look at the vineyard's mansion, and as expected, Fred was looking for him everywhere like a madman. But the moment he saw Shin approaching with one of the knights, he sighed in relief, "Where have you been?"
"To the mine. Can we go inside now?" Shin asked with a smile as he tried to read Fred's face. From the look of it, the place was ready for a while. It was clear the poor man had been panicking a second ago.
The knight gave Shin a gentle bow before excusing himself back to his duties. Shin then walked with Fred toward the mansion, and Fred opened the door. "Lord Shin, welcome to this humble mansion. From today onward, you're its master, and all of the servants here are solely devoted to your service."
When Shin walked inside, he could see two rows of maids and servants lined up, almost twenty maids and ten servants. Among the maids, he could see Fia and the old woman. He approached them and asked, "So you two work here?"
