As we entered the grand manor, an elderly man stood at the door, his posture perfectly straight despite his age. He was dressed immaculately in a tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt and a silver cravat, exuding an air of dignified service. His pristine white hair was combed back neatly, and his wise blue eyes sparkled with warmth and intelligence.
He bowed slightly as Alicia and I approached, his stout frame showing no signs of frailty. His demeanor was composed, but a kind, approachable smile softened his sharp, refined features.
"Welcome back, Lady Alicia," he said, his deep, eloquent voice measured and steady. Turning to me, he inclined his head respectfully. "And a warm welcome to you as well, Young Master. It is an honor to have you grace the Raven Estate. Please, allow me to assist with anything you require."
Alicia let go of my hand and ran to him, her excitement evident. Hugging him tightly, she exclaimed, "When did you get here, Grandpa Leo?"
