"Who goes there!"
A pair of two middle-aged men stood at the gate leading up to the mansion, keeping the premises clear from trespassers.
Which made it a weird encounter between Theo, their new employer whom they saw for the very first time, and the two servants Julius hired for the security of his place.
After all, while an attempt on Julius's life would be unlikely, as Tesh's case proved, the academy wasn't exactly a… safe place. And some of the students could be pretty daring—once again, as proved by Tesh.
"Star-teacher Celeste," Celeste spoke out in a heartbeat, hurrying her step a little to put Theo in the shadow of her big persona. "I'm here to inspect the premises."
The two guards exchanged stares before, against Celeste's best efforts, turning their eyes to Theo.
"And he is…?"
The other guard spoke up, casually reaffirming his grasp over his spear as he took a step forward.
