The surroundings of the mansion were imposing. The wide courtyard was surrounded by tall stone walls adorned with vines and flowers cascading to the ground, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. As they entered through the main door, the interior of the mansion enveloped them with a sense of grandeur. The marble floors reflected the soft light of golden chandeliers, and velvet tapestries adorned the walls, depicting the history of the Scarlet family in vivid detail.
"Welcome, Lord Adalric," a rather rigid butler said, bowing, accompanied by several maids and workers in the mansion.
"Oh, Robert. It's been a while," Adalric said with a smile. "It's good to see you still remember to keep your posture even in front of a brute like me."
