In the blink of an eye, the carriage arrived in front of the Immortal Castle. The two soldiers in guard uniforms stationed at the gate had already received the news and were on high alert, although they maintained a calm facade.
The coachman stopped the carriage indifferently. As soon as the carriage came to a halt, the curtain of the rear compartment was pulled back, and the person wearing a black veil hat emerged, carrying a wooden box in their arms. They jumped off and strode purposefully toward the gate.
The two soldiers quickly assumed a welcoming posture, opening the gate from both sides. They were prepared to greet this person as a true protector would, yet the person walked in briskly, giving them no chance.
The two exchanged glances and hurried to pretend to shut the gate while sneaking a look at the coachman to gauge his reaction.
