Looking out the window of the cart, Evelyn could see the people of Wihleah going about their business and living their lives normally, thinking themselves safe behind the great walls. She could also spot several patrols of city guards and knights silently keeping order with their presence.<br/><br/>It took some time for them to reach the city center on the crowded streets, where the largest and fanciest buildings were built for the richest and most influential people. When they finally stopped it was in front of a manor, though it could be almost called a small castle if it was a bit taller. It had a massive yard and several wings, rows of windows looking at the gardens and elaborate fence keeping outsiders on the streets.<br/><br/>The carriage rolled through the open gates and past the front of the building, up to a side entrance kept specifically for the staff so that their coming and going does not interfere with the residents or guests using the main entrance or hall. Once the girls entered the mansion, the maids went about their jobs, lost immediately in the labyrinthine corridors of the massive building. Haley smiled at Evelyn and took her hand, leading her as if she was a child, her touch bringing both reassurance that she'll be fine as well as keeping her from getting lost by taking a wrong turn somewhere.<br/>"You must be hungry by now." she stated more than she asked and the two arrived in a kitchen, with a room adjacent where the staff could have their meals undisturbed. "Let's fix something up and then I'll show you around."<br/><br/>After a quick bite for Haley and the worn out paladin wolfing down her food if she managed, the redhead gathered some of the other servants and helped with the introductions. It appeared that she had some position among the staff here, the others treated her with respect and followed her suggestions. The maids and few butlers Evelyn met so far all seemed the friendly sort, making her previous encounter with the slave girl splitroast on between her masters cocks like a bad dream.<br/><br/>Haley gave her a tour of the mansion and procured a small booklet that had a map of the building and the nearby grounds, marked according to the system of priorities and tasks the staff had to perform, let that be cleaning, serving food, which corridors and entrances they could move freely on and which they couldn't use when Gandrav had guests. It looked like for Evelyn as a part-timer in particular, they were going to give work mostly out of sight, so if she made mistakes it wouldn't be in front of their master or worse, make him look bad in front of others.<br/><br/>The rest of the day flew by without the paladin noticing, and one of the maids caught up to them and spoke a few words with Haley. The redhead directed her towards whatever was still needed of her, then turned to Evelyn.<br/>"Come, I'll show you your room and where you can find a change of uniforms, then let's head to the baths. Master Gandrav sent word that he'll be expecting you in his quarters shortly."
