The two got out of the carriage in front of the main gate. No one came out to meet them. There were no guards or servants either.
The two of them trespassed onto the premises right through the front gate with no trouble whatsoever. The door to the mansion wasn’t locked. And still no one was coming to meet them.
The inner yard of the residence was in the same state of neglect as the outer one. For all intents and purposes, it looked like it hadn’t seen any tending for the longest time. With the state of things being that sorry, it was more than likely that nights burglars raided this mansion countless times. One even had to wonder if Nald Vine really still lived here.
