Entering the Ahren estate, Lucian headed straight for Erin's residence. Everyone at the estate knew him as Erin's bodyguard, but they were surprised to see him looking entirely different, like a rich nobleman. No one stopped him, but they couldn't help but wonder what was happening. Other than those who had seen him in the royal court and palace, no one knew him as Lucian Rainier, nor did he find it necessary to announce his identity.
When he reached Erin's residence, everyone was shocked to see him.
"Luke, is that you?" the guards standing outside asked, approaching him.
He nodded.
"Have you suddenly become a rich nobleman or what? I could hardly recognize you."
"Something like that," he answered. "I'm here to visit Lady Erin."
"Lord Rainier?" Bree, who had stepped out of the residence, noticed him. Though surprised at his changed appearance, she bowed to him respectfully.
Her actions surprised the guards.
