Annan's carriage was stopped by the Viscount's men a distance away from the estate.
Only he himself was invited to enter the Viscount's mansion. The other three players on the carriage had to wait outside.

This was Viscount Barber's caution.
He was now over eighty years old, and neither his mind nor body were as sharp as those of the younger people. Even sitting on a chair for a prolonged time left him feeling extremely tired.
He could only act based on experience—the experience of living through three dynasties, four wars, and countless past power struggles.
