章節 584: Curious Oriana

The newly arrived entourage was escorted to the palace's guest mansion, where King's guardian knight, Commander Conor Loyset, and a personal adviser greeted them warmly.

"Lord Luis Mortimer, welcome to the capital," Commander Loyset announced as an older man alighted from the carriage, a young woman at his side.

Lord Luis Mortimer exuded an air of authority, more befitting a ruler than a visitor. Beside him stood his youngest daughter, the apple of his eye. She bore the noble family's hallmark beauty—light brown eyes resembling her father's, long flowing golden-brown hair, and delicate features. Her exquisite dress and jewellery befit her status as the daughter of one of the kingdom's most powerful territorial lords.

Acknowledging the greeting, Lord Mortimer replied, "I expected at least Prince Arlan to be present to welcome us, Commander Loyset."
