"Enough of your nonsense. The Castle Beauty as you call her, I mean, the maid Hazel, is here on official duty. She's been waiting for Young Master Samiel's return," the head guard explained, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Young one. You've been waiting diligently.," the head guard remarked, a touch of sympathy in his tone. "Don't worry, he'll be back soon."
