The mansion of the Knights Commander, Babo, was not as extravagant as Arthur anticipated. It was clean without a speck of dust, but it was otherwise modest. The old woman led them herself toward a guest room, where tea and other refreshments were prepared.
Babo sat on a rocking chair before her knight stepped forward to pour her tea. As for Arthur and Little Yin, they sat opposite her on a couch.
"You must be the man Li Xue hired for this job," said Babo, placing her cane to the side and taking her tea. "I expected a brute from her gang, but you seem far from it. How did you meet her?"
"I arrived at Helios a day before, and she entrusted me with this job," replied Arthur while glancing at Yin, who was stuffing her mouth with cookies. "The mission was to escort her to this place, and I have accomplished that."
