Darius nodded and followed the two ladies into the manor. Just like the last time they were here, the place was well decorated and lavish enough to meet the needs of any passing noble.
Even more interesting was the fact that the duo had been directly led to the hidden trapdoor in the lower passageways of the manor after 5 minutes. Well, it was less of a trapdoor and more of a huge latch that seemed to be open 24/7.
The closer they got to it, the busier the passageways became as many servants and workers moved up and down, carrying various things to and from the underground.
This buttressed Darius' suspicion that Foldo had chosen to dig deeper and wider, establishing the true power of the faction where they could not be seen. This was not something Darius would look down on, for it showed that Foldo had truly been worth his investment.
