Overview
The Greenstone Manor house is a mansion built in an old English style. Reginald had it built for Matsuo in secret (it was brought over stone by stone from Britain) ever since they met in the Yucatan (Matsuo Shin and The Temple of the Serpent). Over the main door of the Manor is the royal crest of Quinox.
