Two hours later.
Graven and his entourage finally reached their destination.
The guard opened the gate and allowed the two carriages and the twelve escorts to enter the spacious lawn of Nicholas Redding's mansion.
Nicholas, Cooper, Sarah, and the kids were already waiting at the entrance of the house to welcome the visitors again.
Graven and his family exited the carriages and walked towards the entrance.
"Good noon, Father!" Graven and Laura spoke in unison, seconded by the others.
"Everyone, welcome back to my humble abode!" Nicholas said cheerfully, delighted to see his extended family once again.
He ushered the visitors into the living room, the servants served refreshment to the new arrivals.
"Let's rest for a while and allow the servants to bring your bags upstairs to your rooms," Nicholas said. "Have a taste of our freshly harvested lemon juice, a fresh produce from our backyard garden!" he said and picked up his glass.
