Chapter 465: Guests Arrival At The Mansion
The front gates of Gerhard’s mansion swung open at Eric’s command as the carriage carrying the two guests approached the compound.
The entourage was led towards the main entrance of the main building. No sooner had they arrived than a group of servants greeted them, headed by Anryr, whose face bore an expression heavy with concern and anxiety.
As Eric and Eli dismounted from their warhorses and handed the reins to the stable boy, Anryr swiftly approached them.
"Sir Navin, how’s the situation? Could you enlighten me on what happened? You said you’d explain everything once you returned," the steward asked Eric, eager for updates on the day’s unexpected occurrences.
Just as Eric was about to reply, Emily, supporting Clara, emerged at the entrance along with Armel. They were all eager for details about the turmoil.
"Sir Navin! Please tell us what is going on! How is Lady Raychard? Has she really recovered as we were told? I heard from those who went to the palace that His Highness the Grand Duke has returned, but he was carried out from Lady Raychard’s chamber unconscious! Also, is it true that His Highness Prince Kiev has been arrested? Mr Foster mentioned he saw him apprehended by the royal knights right before he returned." Clara exclaimed nervously.
Eric quickly raised both hands and flexed his palms, attempting to pacify the agitated situation.
"Calm down first!"
Just as he was about to continue, Rosalie, Sylvia, and Meredith arrived, followed closely by Mary and Scarlette.
"Oh, thank goodness, Sir Navin! You’re finally back!" Meredith exclaimed in relief. "Please help me explain the situation to them."
Sylvia and Emily began bombarding questions as well, their anxiousness apparent. Something felt distinctly off when they were ordered to return immediately from the palace without any further explanation. Their eyes fixed on him, waiting with bated breath for answers to questions that churned in their minds.
