Apart from the strangers, there were also a few magic apprentices in the manor. They were "chargers" that Christina had asked to charge the magic barriers. After all, it was too hard for her to maintain such huge magic barriers on her own.
Now that Roland had returned, they all relaxed.
After Christina canceled the barriers, Roland led Anna into the manor.
The magic apprentices came over, greeted Roland, and then said goodbye to him.
They could tell that Stephanie, who was obviously an honorable person, wanted to talk to Roland in private.
After the magic apprentices all left, Stephanie approached and said, "Your magic apprentices have been taught well."
Roland smiled, because it was only natural.
Those kids had all been educated according to modern standards.
