Aura led Tave and Lily through the front doors of the house. The entrance hall opened warmly before them, and a few attendants stepped forward to greet their arrival.
"Welcome, Lady Aura," they said with respectful nods. "We'll begin preparing rooms for your guests right away."
From the way things looked, Tave had a strong suspicion, this place was probably Aura's personal residence outside the palace grounds.
"I usually spend most of my time here," Aura explained, turning to them. "But it's far too spacious for just me. I hope you don't mind sharing it."
"No, this is more than enough," Tave replied politely. "I just hope our presence won't interfere with your duties as an Imperial Knight."
Aura answered with her trademark composed smile. "You are Princess Vanya's honored guests. That means you'll receive the best care we can offer. Whatever you need, if it's within my power. I'll make it happen."
She added softly, "Welcome. Please, make yourselves comfortable."
