In the hall, Amelia Foster saw the patriarch of the May Family for the first time. She had heard from her sister that this old master of the May Family was already over sixty, but looking at him now, he didn't resemble a man of that age.

As soon as he detected even the slightest hint, there would be no chance of staying in this house.
