Chapter 173: Ink and Flesh: Fray's Rune

The sun had not yet risen when Montaser awoke from his slumber, finding himself in the luxurious surroundings of his room within the Servant facility of the Parada Mansion. Adorned with exquisite furnishings and tasteful decor, the room mirrored the grandeur of the estate. As the head butler of the Parada family, Montaser was no stranger to such opulence, yet he remained humble in his role, dedicated to serving the family with unwavering loyalty.

After swiftly completing his morning routine, Montaser descended the staircase, his footsteps echoing softly through the hallowed halls of the Servant facility. Servants bustled about, preparing for the day ahead under Montaser's watchful eye. With a calm yet commanding presence, he issued instructions, ensuring that every detail would be attended to with utmost care.
