"I'm sorry about the guards. They are more lenient to other people's guests in the family, but I guess I haven't reached that level just yet," Tenn said while apologizing to the two.
"It's fine. My family's guards aren't so different either. Although I do have a bit more authority than you I suppose," Kaleb said.
"I'm truly sorry," Tenn continued apologizing.
"If your uncle had vouched for us, wouldn't that have worked?" Ning asked. "Or does he have even less influence than you?"
"Huh? My uncle has no influence in the family," Tenn said. "Why would he?"
Ning was taken back for a second. "Wait, is he not a part of the family?" he asked.
"What? Oh, no. He is my uncle on my mother's side. My father's side only has aunts and they are already married," Tenn explained.
"Ah, I see," Ning finally realized. "Was that why he had to use that token to get in."
