"Open the gate," a guard shouted from the top of the keep walls.
Several guards got to work, they entered a room and grabbed onto the mechanism spokes and with great effort they started to rotate the massive mechanism, another pair of guards grabbed onto the wheel on the wall as started turning it with great effort.
The steel gates of the keep made a grating sound as they were lifted at a slow and steady pace, ten minutes passed before the gates were fully raised, and a large group came galloping in from the outer region of the estate.
"Welcoming home the eldest son of Lord Kurt and the heir to the house Stanley Kurt!" a barker shouted to announce the return of the family heir, from the doors of the keep.
A large carriage decorated in an azure blue paint and that had the round shield of House Kurt painted largely on all four sides made its way towards the door before coming to a stop.
