The Moriarty Family did not employ a residential gardener, instead they would periodically hire renowned horticulturists to tend to the garden.
Juan Sorensen used to be a professor of biology at the Royal Law University. He was known in the circles of the Knight Family for arranging his own garden beautifully and for keeping the flowers in excellent condition.
For this reason, after he retired, his status and income actually increased—many people wanted to hire Old Juan to plan their garden layouts, and it even became a trend among the nobility. But securing his services still required some connections... and Old Moriarty had them, as he was an old friend of Professor Sorensen.
"Did you enjoy your trip, Aiwass?"
Old Juan had watched both Aiwass and Edward grow up, so he knew why Aiwass had been away and could call him and Edward by their first names directly: "You've come back just in time—Edward is rarely home today."
"He's not at work today?" Aiwass paused and asked carefully.
