"Young Lord Laurent…"
"Alex is fine, young Lord Edevane."
"Oh, then you can call me Joe too!"
The two people, surrounded by all these heavily clad guards, were doing the tour of the villa where Joe was going to live with everyone else and attend lessons. Alex was not really happy with the arrangement but his dad had told him it was for the girl and they needed to safeguard her.
He walked around, just giving Joe customary information about the villa. They walked through the gardens, through first floor which only had classrooms and rooms for guests and that was about it. By the time they finished, it was lunch time.
Joseph was seated in the dining area but no other person came to attend to him except Alex.
