"Oh, so it's Lady Madeleine. It's been a long time since you've been here."
Turning around, they found a well dressed young man followed by another young man and a beautiful girl.
Madeleine smiled, causing the two young men to feel their hearts constrict. The beautiful girl's expression darkened, but she said nothing.
"So, it's the young master, it has indeed been a long time."
"We've known each other for so long Lady Madeleine, there's no need to be so formal. You can call me big brother Iacchus. I think about you often, but as you know, my master doesn't allow me to go out very often. I'm always either managing Heaven's Wine or cultivating.
"Pardon me, I've spoken too much. I'm actually here with a couple friends of mine to receive some esteemed guests. Since it's a special occasion, I wouldn't mind escorting you to the top floor. It's usually reserved for Peak Essence Gathering experts, but I of course have a way around this. Since I helped them, how could I not help you?"
