Setting down the tea cup that was already half-emptied, Marquis Li Weiliam Tulip did not immediately leave his study but took out a piece of thick paper and dipped his quill in ink.
He first wrote down the words "Dragon Knight," followed by "Archmage."
Staring at the two terms, he unwittingly fell into a reverie and it took him quite a while to snap back to reality. He then took out a flint and steel, lit the thick paper on fire, and watched as it turned to ash in the ashtray on his desk. It was only after a deep exhale that he finally stood up from his desk with a beaming smile.
Descending the stairs, he mingled back into the lively conversation among the nobles.
