Adam, under the alias "Pal," moved toward the grand estate.
He looked calm, even though a swarm of emotions whirled within him.
A guard approached, respectful and cautious, his eyes reflecting curiosity. "Sir Pal, the family head requests your presence," he announced, stepping aside with a slight bow.
Adam, or "Pal" to the Kol family, simply nodded, his gaze lingering on the mansion before he crossed through its towering gates.
Every guard's gaze followed him with a mix of awe and confusion; they had been given no details about his identity, only that the head of the Kol family wanted to meet him in person.
Adam noted how each of them maintained a silent vigilance, and, within moments, he reached the mansion's imposing main doors, where a knight waited for him.
The knight, dressed in black steel armor that glinted faintly under the mansion lights, gestured respectfully. "Sir Pal, I am here to escort you."
