Chapter 55: In the study (1)
Hex and the Knights led the Hawks to the front door.
The servants and other Blessed on the castle ground threw curious glances at them but no one stopped them. The men especially couldn't stop gawking at Althea.
Hestia turned towards the Squires belonging to the Hawks and said, "You guys can stay here. If you need something, ask them to help you. You will also be shown your rooms."
She then looked at the Squires belonging to the castle and continued. "And make sure our guests are taken care of."
With that, they entered through the main door. Hex looked around, feeling at peace. Although only three days had passed, it felt like it had been longer.
'I never thought I would miss this place. I guess it's easier to get used to a comfortable bed and nice food,' Hex thought, bemused.
"Lord Wallen," Hex was pulled out of his thought when he heard Ivran call the butler respectfully. To his surprise, he saw that the elderly Knight was bowing politely.
Wallen replied with a curt bow. "Sir Ivran. Please don't embarrass me. You are our guest."
The butler was his usual puppet-like but Hex was interested in Ivran's reaction. The elderly Knight looked...submissive.
'Why is he acting like that? I guess they would know each other but he acts like a child in front of an adult.'
Not only he, but the others also looked at them strangely. But before they could question them, Wallen spoke.
