(3rd Person POV)
The royal carriages have finally reached the Agriche Estate.
It was a magnificent estate spanning several hectares, with strong defences, numerous soldiers and extravagant buildings.
It was a place worthy of a ducal family but still not comparable to the Aula Regia, the royal palace.
Aston Phoenix, the crown prince of the Phoenix empire came out of the carriage with his assistant Panem and butler Edmund.
Aston was wearing royal clothes made of pure silk, laden with magnificent colours and pure gold linings.
He glanced around the estate and analysed it thoroughly. He leaned towards Edmund and whispered, "Have you stationed members of Tenebres Squad throughout the Agriche territory?"
Edmund replied in the same low tone, "Yes, my lord. I can call on them with just a single signal."
"Good. I have a feeling that this visit will be extremely interesting."
Saying that, Aston moved in front and the other two moved behind him.
When he came in front of the gateway, he was met with some soldiers in the proper stance.
They announced with extreme gusto, "All hail the honourable crown prince of the great Phoenix Empire!"
Announcing that, they moved aside and opened the entrance to the Agriche Estate.
On entering, he was met with several servants in front of him including an old butler, possible the head butler.
They bowed in front of Aston and said respectfully, "We welcome the crown prince of the empire into the Agriche Estate. Let us take care of your belongings. The head butler, Anthony will guide you to your rooms."
When Aston saw the welcome, he had one thought in mind.
'So, the Agriches still want to retain their measly pride by not showing up for the crown prince? Let's see for how much time they can do that..."
The three of them walked into the estate with the butler Anthony who was leading them in the Agriche estate.
They could see many people looking at them.
Several maids passed by who got a blush on seeing the crown prince itself. It always intensified whenever Aston gazed at them with his enchanting smile.
Many butlers bowed their heads under the pressure of seeing such a high-ranking person in front of them but they also had a shine in their eyes as they recalled his feats of valour.
There were several Agriches who saw him but none of them had any proper reaction to looking at him.
There was a person who had lots of muscles but he looked like a dunderhead. He was glaring at the crown prince, preparing for digging his own grave.
One of the wives of Lant Agriche looked at him and had a gleeful, crazy smile as well as red cheeks.
Aston saw many different reactions but he did not forget to notice the underworld forces in the estate.
There were probably 50 high-class assassins throughout the way he walked and probably more than 500 all over the estate.
He just smirked at the pathetic level of the display of forces by the Agriches. Given that these were not even half the forces but still it was pretty bad compared to the Phoenix Family.
The trio were guided to each of their respective rooms and then informed that the head of the Agriche is currently busy somewhere and will meet them during the dinner.
Three of them rested in their rooms while they waited for dinner.

It was almost time for the dinner banquet. The table has been properly prepared with exquisite and extravagant dishes. The people from the Agriche that were participating in this dinner was the head of the house along with the people who had the privilege of dining with him, Roxana Agriche and Jeremy Agriche.
Dion Agriche also had the privilege but he had been sent somewhere else for a mission.
The Agriches had already been seated excluding Roxana who was ordered by her father to come after the crown prince enters the banquet.
This was one of the tricks used by the nobles to have splash mud on the respect of the family visiting them.
Aston Phoenix accompanied by his butler Edmund walked toward the dining hall.
Panem had already been served food in his room as the noble banquet was among the nobles of same class.
Aston asked Panem and said that he could come to eat with the Agriches if he wants but Panem hurriedly denied any request.
He told that this was the first meeting of the crown prince in the Agriche house, allowing a low-class noble along with others could hurt Aston's chances.
Aston smiled at Panem's thoughtfulness and moved along with Edmund only.
It was time to meet the Agriches.
