Anna and Kyren turned to the source of the voice and saw the Marquess of Sylvere and his three sons bowing respectfully to him and his wife.
"Greetings, Marquess of Sylvere. Please rise. It has been a while since we last met," Kyren greeted them.
The Marquess and his sons lifted their heads from their bow, and the grand duke extended his hand for a handshake. Anna took several steps back, giving some space for her husband. She watched the high-ranking noble family approach Kyren, accepting the handshake.
As the men exchanged pleasantries, Anna observed the respectful and congenial demeanour of the Marquess and his sons. It was clear that they held the grand duke in high regard, and their interactions reflected both their admiration and the genuine friendship they shared.
"Yes, Your Highness. It has been a while. How are you doing right now?" the Marquess inquired.
