The other Stansia Province Nobles arrived at the gates, and tried not to look like they were staring at the Wistover Manor.
The complex was akin to a proper castle, with its defensive fortifications, and sprawling complex, with emergency farms and shops inside the walls. Plus, it was all newly renovated, nothing in need of repair at all.
That was more than any of them could claim about the estates that they had taken over after the war.
Like Dominic, they were all newly raised Nobles, assigned Noble Titles based on their family's contributions and reputation. So, they also had to make a good impression. That was why they had agreed to come along on this outing to the Cygnian Capital, despite being on the furthest side of the nation.
Nobody would expect them to come, it was weeks or even a month to get there by ground in the wet season.
