Bab 301: A bad situation

"Greetings, my Lord. I have been expecting your arrival," the butler said in the most emotionless tone possible, as his tone only added to his aura of being more of an undead rather than a vibrant human being.

For a while Leo was stunned, however, he soon regained his composure and stepped forward. "Hello, I am 'TheBoss', the new Baron of CrestHill. And you are?"

"I am Gregory, the head butler of this estate," the man replied with a slight bow. "Please, allow me to give you a tour of your new home."

Leo and Ben exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of curiosity and dread as they followed Gregory through the broken gates and into the palace.

As they walked through the halls, the full extent of the palace's decay became evident.
