@ManorOfLilies Greetings, dear guests. I apologize for the delay in my arrival, there was some miscommunication in the itinerary today. I hope I haven't missed anything important, especially the chance to greet all of you. The name's Cornellius-Rhodes Haussmann, it's an honor to meet you.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

@VisitorJoaquin Ah, hanya sekilas. Apa yang membuatnya menarik menurutmu, Dok?

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

Selamat malam, para tamu terhormat. Selagi menunggu waktu pertemuan, bagaimana kalau kita duduk dan berbincang?

Jadi, setelah menghabiskan sehari semalam berada di Manor nan megah ini, apa saja yang menarik perhatian kalian? Kalau saya, salah satunya interior.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

@VisitorMonroe Selamat malam lagi, nona. Tentu saja anda akan menyukai tamannya. Saya akui memang cantik. Terkadang Manor ini terasa 'tidak nyata'.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

@VisitorIsolde Detail arsitektur dan tekstur berlapis dari paduan materialnya? Saya bukan ahli estetika, tapi interior Manor ini punya magis tersendiri yang membuatnya tidak membosankan, setidaknya di mata saya.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

@VisitorCharlene Now that the talk is over I think it's just getting even more curious. What do you think, Lady?

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

@VisitorVesper Selamat malam lagi, tuan. Hal yang sangat lumrah, perjalanan jauh menguras banyak energi. Semoga malam ini anda bisa cukup beristirahat. :] Ah, taman itu, ya. Saya baru melihat sekilas, tapi pemandangannya bagus. Sebenarnya, seluruh Manor ini seperti pemandangan buat saya.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

@VisitorNathan Let's what it is.

Butlers will show you the way, though I implore you not to speak with them, Dear Guests, remember all the rules. May you enjoy your stay in Leirinos Manor.” And with that, Emily’s presence withered away into the room she went out from earlier.

[Emily Walter @HeadmaidWalter]

@ManorOfLilies ㅤ

“And for the black lilies... it symbolize a bad luck.” She drew another bright smile, reassuring the Lady. “You might need to burn it.”

ㅤ

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

I see.

[Emily Walter @HeadmaidWalter]

@ManorOfLilies ㅤ

Emily turns her heard towards the source of voice—a white haired man in sight. “A day full of dread, Sir.”

As vague as she can be, her head bowed slightly.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

Terlalu banyak larangan bisa membuat manusia jadi penasaran, nona nona. Tapi baiklah, sudah saya catat.

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

Astonishingly.

[Emily Walter @HeadmaidWalter]

@ManorOfLilies ㅤ

But she quickly erases the gloom demeanor away, as if it never happened. “... Hence the slightly eerie ambience here, but we made sure to renovate everything and decorate this Manor with the highest quality furniture.”

ㅤ

[Emily Walter @HeadmaidWalter]

@ManorOfLilies ㅤ

“… You must have remembered how it was burnt down to ruin decades ago from the history,” the later words of hers somehow sounded smaller, gloomier.

ㅤ

[Emily Walter @HeadmaidWalter]

@ManorOfLilies ㅤ

The maid with the red hair carved a smile to her face, gently greeting with a bow. “I am Emily Walter, the Head Maid of Leirinos Manor. Allow me to be in Lady Leirinos’s stead to explain some terms regarding this Manor.”

ㅤ

[𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒖𝒔. @VisitorRhodes]

It is inherently unpredictable, isn't it? I believe Lady Leirinos herself wants to keep us company. I hope she takes the time she needs to recover fully.

[Emily Walter @HeadmaidWalter]

@ManorOfLilies ㅤ

“Apologies for the absence of the Lady as she seems quite unwell today, it was due to this event’s thorough preparation.” Her head was slightly bowed, apologetic.

“... But I hope this will not affect any of your judgement towards our family.”

@LadyRichte ㅤ

As the glasses were raised, all the guests gulped the wine in unison. Including Hilldegard before she was gently led back to the room with the red haired maid holding her. Only then the atmosphere grew easier with the absence of Lady Leirinos.

Something about The Lady caught his attention, be it the way she spoke or the underlying message she delivered. Or, at least that's what his habit told so from reading in between lines.

"Sure, raise for the return of Leirinos family"

“This house-warming party will be held for seven days, starting from today, and worry not; as we arranged a thorough schedule so as to not make you bored.”

[HILLDEGARD. @LadyRichte]

@ManorOfLilies ⠀
The Lady took a glass of wine handed by one of the butlers, raising it up. “... Rather, to have you all go back in time when the Leirinos name is still in its glorious era.”
