The person who came to see them was one of the many guards working at the mansion. He was posted at the gate to greet arrivals.
"Who are you?" the guard asked.
There was no way he could've known that William and the recruiter were coming. The exact day hadn't been communicated.
"We're here to speak with your Lord," Logan said.
Seeing the guard still silent and staring at them, he added, "We're from a magical school recruiting your Lord's daughter."
The guard smiled. "So that's why you're here. I noticed how excited the Lord seemed these past few days. Alright—you may enter."
William and Logan nodded and went inside. The guard took care of their horses, so that wasn't something they had to worry about.
The place was grand, much like other mansions William had seen—though fewer people worked here.
"This noble prefers silence," Logan explained. "Only a few staff members work here, and only during the afternoon and early evening. That way, the place stays quiet while he sleeps."
