A few minutes earlier, at a location that was known only to a handful in the continent of Angaria.
A man with a sharp goatee and long, brown hair that fell to his shoulders was sitting in front of a table, on which a display trinket could be seen.
A cup filled with steaming liquid was in front of him, and he occasionally took sips from it before dabbing his mouth with the kerchief he held in his other hand, each and every time.
He was the very image of an elite personage whose habits and mannerisms were above and beyond those of the normal people who couldn't even comprehend his prestige, but when an unseen, but detectable being suddenly appeared in the room he was in, he stood up and gave a deep bow.
With his eyes on the ground, he said, "The Family Head of the Leoinia family greets you, Overseer."
"Welcome, Family Head. Take your seat."
