Since Rex was curious about Nightwing's household, Diana decided to bring him there. And Rex didn't expect the Nightwing household to be like that, and he didn't often come across things that weren't what he expected.
He had expected something big because the Nightwing name meant a lot to a family that had been doing something important in Aethelgard for a long time. Families like that usually had houses that showed how long they had been doing it, not just how rich they were at the time.
He didn't expect the size.
The house occupied a prime location at the corner of a city block within the district that bordered the upper residential area. It was a structure constructed in stages over generations, with each phase designed for durability rather than mere aesthetic appeal.
This made it more impressive than anything designed solely to impress, as it carried the weight of genuine history rather than a façade of grandeur.
