Anna's entourage arrived at the mansion, where Anryr, Rosalie, and the servants eagerly gathered at the main entrance to welcome back their lady and the knights.
"Welcome home, my lady," greeted the steward warmly as soon as Anna descended from the carriage.
Rosalie and the other servants bowed respectfully in her presence. The knights dismounted their horses, and the stablemen quickly took charge, leading the horses to the stable.
"Thank you, Anryr. It's been a while. How have you and Rosalie been?" Anna reciprocated the greetings.
"We are both well, my lady," the steward replied with a respectful nod. He, too, extended his courtesy to Eric and the other knights.
"How has the mansion been faring? Is everything running smoothly?" inquired the second-in-command knight, seeking an update on the mansion's affairs.
