At the dining hall, only Alaric was allowed entry so he asked Warrick to protect Elena.
"I'm sorry about your companions, my lord. Lady Vivian doesn't like it when servants dine with us. I hope you understand." Hershey muttered apologetically.
Alaric wasn't annoyed since he already knew that some nobles could be very particular about status and customs.
"It's fine." He replied calmly,
Hershey was relieved.
She noticed that Alaric was very attentive to his servant girl. She could even feel that there was a vague connection between them.
"The dining hall is this way, my lord. Just one more turn and we will be there."
In the next moment, they finally arrived at the dining hall. Nathan, Vivian, and two men in their twenties were already there seated in their respective seats.
"Lord Alaric, come here. We left this spot empty for you." Vivian beckoned to him as she pointed at the chair next to Baron Nathan.
