Getting off the carriage,Gabriel,Gloria,Sunghoon and,Jake stood infront of the Bishop Manor. A line of servants including the butler were out there to greet the guests.

"We welcome the young Lord Gabriel Pendragon and the young lady Gloria on behalf of our master",the butler greeted in a polite way but the pride he held as the butler of the Bishop Manor was evident in the way he held himself up.

Gloria's Rose tinted lips twitched while her eyes narrowed into a dangerous glint. Even Gabriel stayed silent for few seconds as he took in the absolute disrespect this butler is showing towards Sunghoon and Jake by not greeting them.

Jake actually did not mind and Sunghoon wasn't even bothered at all. But both of them could feel the tension that was building between the Pendragon siblings and the butler.

Gloria was about to take a step forward but Jake was quick enough to pull her wrist before shaking his head slightly. To him,it's not worth enough to get riled up.

"I guess,Bishops do not really know how to teach their servants manners",Gabriel however spoke up in a condescending tone,glaring at the butler who is clearing looking down on them. "It can't be helped since it's their master's fault if their dogs don't know their shit"

Gloria smirked and crossed her arms. For now she decided to keep her silence,letting Gabriel handle things.

The butler's eyes twitched slightly,"I apologise if I did something wrong but I do not see what I lacked,my lord. I am only supposed to greet the 'Pendragons'. "

"Greeting Pendragons? Is that your 'job'? Shouldn't it be the house master who should come down and greet the Pendragons?",asked Gabriel in a mocking tone. This was Gabriel's most civil way of dealing with disrespectful people. If it were another family,he would have beat up the butler black and blue.

"Are you really asking that Gabriel?",Another new voice greeted them. From inside the mansion,an elegant woman stepped out. She was tall and slime,fair as a porcelain doll,eyes of dark violet colour,a beauty in every word possible. Her long dark blue shaded gown hugged her curves like a second skin. She wore two long hand gloves with silver rings above the gloves.

Gabriel's body visibly stiffened hearing the voice. His eyes slightly shook but it was so unnoticeable that no one noticed. "Moira",he mumbled.

The woman walked towards them with elegant and grateful steps,"Of all people,you should know why the house master did not greet you out here,Gabriel. Do you even have the right to ask? The fake Pendragon"

"Watch how you speak about my brother!",Gloria stepped forward this time. Her eyes shooting daggers dangerous at the Bishop woman who just had the audacity to insult her brother.

The woman slowly and uninterestedly moved her head towards Gloria,eyes bored as ever,"Oh,you are here too?",and then her eyes went to the other two. "And....some....rats from gutter? I didn't know my grandmother invited slum peasants"

"Moira!",Gabriel raised his voice in a warning tone. "Mind your tongue or else I would consider it as an insult towards the grand Duke who sent us here after your request "
