Unexpected visitors

Two big carriages stopped in front of the mansion early in the morning.

Claire, who was watering the plants in front of the house at that moment, stopped what she was doing and watched them curiously. 

Since the mansion has no gate nor a spacious lawn, they stopped just a few steps away in front of the house.

A round man with a bearded face came down in one of those carriages. He was accompanied by a man of about mid-20s in age.

Claire wondered about these people. Are they here to stay in this village? Or maybe they were here for another reason. She made a guess.

Surprisingly, in the second carriage, a very pretty young lady came down from it. She has shoulder-length light blue hair and a pair of emerald eyes.
