The backyard of the mansion is landscaped with trees, green plants, and lawns. Since it was nighttime, the lanterns hanging on the trees and the side of the pool were lit up. It gave out a calming ambiance.
J walked towards an outdoor sofa set under a tree with lanterns hanging on it. She took a seat on the sofa and looked around. The whole place is huge and quiet. She cannot see any maids walking around. J thought that they would probably be resting in their rooms already.
Although the whole place seemed empty she was sure that guards were lurking around in the shadows and one of them was Arthur. She clearly remembers Jacob's instructions to him. 'Stay with her.'
If it was before, she would be conscious to know that eyes were watching over her in the shadows. But she already got used to it as time went by. She also learned how to ignore them.
