"Is this your first time in Shaya, sir?" Mars looked at Richard and asked.
Richard nodded, "Yes."
"It's like this, sir," Mars said. "Shaya's situation might be different from what you expect. Although it's your first visit, many people were already paying attention to you before you even arrived. I'm afraid once they know you're here, they'll definitely come to visit. I can help you turn away those with lesser status, but there's nothing I can do about those with higher standing; after all, I'm just a servant with somewhat strong capabilities."
Before he even arrived, someone was already paying attention to him... It must have something to do with the dark-faced elder, Oscar...
Blinking, Richard looked at Mars and asked, "Who are these people of higher status you're talking about?"
"Well..." Mars opened and closed his mouth a few times, spread his hands, and said with some difficulty, "Sir, it's hard to say, but I can tell you a little — there are some Royal Family members."
