The situation inside the castle was chaotic, with servants, vampire guards, and those with higher positions running around, gathering in front of the castle's gate.
Arthur saw many important figures — most he did not know, but he captured a glimpse of duke Mikael among these vampires.
Everyone was scared to face a rank-four mage, so the strongest vampires inside the Von Stein family castle joined forces and waited for the mysterious figure.
Arthur was not one of these 'strongest vampires' of the castle, but he was still there, just like other servants and weaker vampires were also. Everyone wanted to see exactly who the mage was with the courage to look for a fight with the Von Stein family.
"I share the same feeling, too," thought Arthur as he tried his best to squeeze himself through the crowd, getting as close as he could. It would be dangerous to be in that position if a fight broke out, but Arthur did not think someone would try something.
