"BROTHER, is it really alright for us to stay at that general's house?" Aurum asked, they were inside a carriage travelling towards the said house. "I'm not really comfortable living with strangers."
"You don't have to worry about that. Houses in Xing, especially those that belong to the upper echelon of society, composed of a number of buildings called courtyards. Instead of rooms, they have those. Being a general, I'm pretty sure his family is pretty well off. They will definitely give us separate courtyards. Which is enough to give us privacy. We don't even have to interact that much with the people there. Since, traditionally, wealthy families in Xing only ever eat together during dinner. Sometimes they even don't and just order servants to bring food to their courtyards. That's especially the case when the family is quite big," Argent explained in length.
