Sting Litt and two Knights escorted Nancy Stuart out of the Gate of Black Rose Castle.
A luxurious carriage from Green Shade Territory was parked right at the entrance.
This was not the carriage that had brought Nancy Stuart here, but Lian's personal one.
The dashing young Lord was currently chatting with a Guard at the Gate.
He gave off an approachable air, as if he could strike up a conversation with anyone.
The moment he saw Nancy Stuart, a smile bloomed on his face.
"Oh, my dear, you've kept me waiting for so long. Were you catching up with old colleagues?"
Lian said goodbye to the Guard and strode over.
Nancy Stuart froze for a moment. She hadn't expected Lian to come pick her up in person.
'Is Lian waiting here because he was worried I'd be exposed and run into danger?'
'But if I were exposed, this place would be a deathtrap for him. For my sake, he's completely disregarding his own safety.'
