Hershey was a good talker. She managed to keep the conversation going with no hint of awkwardness.
She's still the same…
Alaric thought as he looked at her flawless face.
After another hour, they finally arrived at the main mansion of House Paxley.
The lord of the house, Baron Nathan Paxley, a slightly chubby middle-aged man with balding gray hair, greeted him in front of the mansion.
Beside the baron was a middle-aged woman wearing thick makeup, Vivian Harrison. She was the lady of the house and also Hershey's stepmother.
"Thank you for the warm welcome, Lord Nathan and Lady Vivian." Alaric slightly tilted his head to show his respect.
Nathan Paxley laughed heartily at his words. "I'm glad that you accepted our request despite the harsh weather."
Vivian also said something to him and Alaric replied appropriately.
After a round of exchanging greetings, they brought Alaric inside the mansion.
