Nathaniel’s mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home.

Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.

Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.

The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy.

“Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know,” the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration.

She had watched Dustin’s performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.

He waved her off and said, “Okay. You can go now. I don’t need anyone to attend to me.”

“Uh… but…” The maid hesitated.

“Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to Prince Nathaniel. You won’t be in any trouble,” Dustin reassured her.

“Mr. Rhys, please rest well. I’ll take my leave now,” she said.

Her voice was tinged with regret as she reluctantly turned to leave. She considered herself quite attractive. No matter who she interacted with, they always took a second glance at her.

At times, Nathaniel even relied on her beauty to win over influential officials. But today, she couldn’t help but notice that her charm seemed to have no effect on Dustin. He hadn’t even looked her way.
