One who was coming to the estate had the maneuver themselves through the mountains but once they got there they would come upon a large stone gate, made of what seemed to be almost that of stone brick. Golden railings lined the top of the wall. Guards were stationed outside of it. The walls were 14 meters tall and 6 meters thick, and when one passed through golden lines would light the archway of the wall until it came to an end of two large wooden doors, ornate in design through the use of metallic ore, 3 guards stood in front, one on either side and one in the middle.
All outfitted with armor it was simple leather hide, lightweight, and easy to move around with gold plating and the Wilhelm coat of arms on the left upper chest. The same was held by all three Wilhelm in the cart in some form or fashion. For Lustian, it was engraved on the front of his white shirt. In all gold fabric only about 4 inches in size close to his inner chest, on the left toward his heart, the shape of a pickaxe crossing a pointed staff within a shield. Whereas the family's house crest was that of a pickaxe and hammer that was within his inner right sleeve. Lustian eventually began to sit upright within the carriage as they made their way closer to the gate entrance.
The carriage came to a small crawl, and Lustian pulled back the curtain on the carriage, he flashed a smile and made sure his insignia could be shown, although they knew he was the heir such formalities and politics were still expected to be upheld, even more so as a higher member of the family. He made sure his insignias could be seen within the window, the guards were switched out every week, and it was always good for them to all began to learn the names and faces of those who arrived.
They gave a nod of approval within their armored helmets. Staff in hand they'd tap them on the crowd three times and the wooden gate behind would slowly upon. The guards moved to either side of the cart and soon, the trio was being led onto the ground of the estate.
The estate was nestled inside of an opening of a mountain, carved out by the family ages ago, it was formally an area that they had mined, most of the acreage previously being giant pieces of magical ore, one that helped sustain the dwarven miners for ages, one that helped them become a giant in wealth with one large family of miners leading at the top, one whose linage will flow back into the same miners who assisted throughout the merchants and throughout the years all of those children would come to bear the surname; Wilhelm.
The mountain peak was lush with natural flora, and the Wilhelm did their utmost to preserve most of it. The estate was surrounded by a forest, with a ravine toward its back, this ravine lead to the very depths of the mountain, an area just above where the mines sat where the Wilhelm family mind their magical ore, much of their infrastructure being reinforced with that same ore, malleable, sturdy and natural conductors of natural mana. It was because of this that most of the dwarves in the family adept at feeling natural mana could also more accurately pinpoint the ore when mining.
Today, as they made their way back to the estate Lustian found himself immediately heading to his room, to change clothes, he knew that they would be training today and thus he wanted to wear something or rather less of something, when it came to all the hard work and effort he was going to have to put in. Meanwhile, Alessia had been sent to the front, and as to why, Lustian didn't know but what he did know was that it gave him a bit more time to get ready.
Alessia had made her way to one of the large offices nestled within the family estate, in it she found a young girl sitting in a chair and one of the older members of the family. He gestured for her to sit down and so Alessia did, "Hello, may I ask why I've been summoned?" Alessia said as she looked up at the older family member, after all, she liked to get straight to the point and she had the heir of the family to train, after all, today she was dressed in some common clothing as opposed to her nun clothing. Her attire consisted of a black, backless, sleeveless undershirt, an orange over-shirt with two white straps on each shoulder, a large beige sash around her waist, and black stretch pants with a pair of lightweight brown shoes, along with a beige neck warmer. Alessia's purple eyes glanced at the young girl beside her.
Then she was quickly given the rundown, for all intents and purposes she was almost like a new member of the family but she had promise, and much like how she was in charge of training the heir Lustian and his cousin Dante, it was now her job to train this young girl too, or to at least give her some pointers as the young girl had no obligations just yet. Alessia smiled at her and attempted to take her hands within her own, "I'm Alessia, lovely to meet you cousin." She said with a smile, "well let's get going there's a lot to show you, and a lot to do. You should count yourself lucky you may be in for a treat today," she said her smile still warm but a mischievous glint hid within the depths of her eyes.
She led the girl out of the room and toward another knocking on the door, only for it to open a few seconds later, leaving Lustian standing in the doorframe, some light white fabric of clothing on and his magic knight's mantle draped around one of his biceps. "Yeah, yeah I know what you're going to say, but look see I'm already ready! Oh-" Lustian stopped as he noticed the young girl, he gave a warm smile as he examined her with a tilt of his head, "and who might you be?"
