After the mud-brick houses were built, settling the slaves who had been crammed into the hall, with Jasmine's permission, the old butler also had people build a cozy small house for himself right next to the castle's main gate for the convenience of watching over comings and goings. Currently, he had long since moved into his new house for quite some time.

The smell of grease, spices, and smoke lingering in the storage room was truly pungent and overwhelmingly mixed, not easy to smell at all, and completely unsuitable for humans to live in anymore.
