When Lorne-Rio Cornwall walked into the mansion's lounge, dressed in an elegant men's shirt and breeches, with the Gelonni's Sword passed down through generations of the Duke of Connet at his waist, Francois and Laine both rose to greet him. This Duke of Connet, known as the "Lionheart", was, like them, an esteemed Holy Grail Knight.
"Long time no see, Lorne," Francois said with a smile. "Congratulations on returning from your trial."
"Long time no see, Lord Lorne, it's a pleasure to meet you," Laine followed, "Your visit at such an hour must be for an important matter?"
"Indeed it is."
