This was the first time Zein stood before the house's front door, funnily enough.
All this time, they had been going round the side of the house, straight toward the backyard where the lake was. But for the first time, Zein would spend his night inside the house instead of camping outside, so it was appropriate to finally use the front door.
The interior work had been completed since last week, and Senan had put the keys in Zein's hand immediately. Another set of keys was kept by Senan, as the Iron Shield's representative. Supposedly, a guard, a housekeeper, and a gardener would be stationed here starting this week, but Zein had asked the estate to be emptied for his vacation.
"Hmm..." he hesitated after entering the key.
"Why?"
"I'm kind of nervous," Zein confessed.
