Watching people from both parts of Vincardine at one place was a rare sight. The O'Dells declined the request of the people of the western side about having two different marketplaces for both parts.
Because the O'Dells were convinced that allowing people from both sides in common places like markets, gardens, etc would keep them bind together as residents of the same town. And after years, their belief became reality except for occasional skirmishes.
But the people of lower social strata only knew that the outward-looking harmonious town of Vincardine had inside flaws. But they didn't blame the O'Dells for them as they could only do as much they have already done and still were doing but they couldn't change people's mindset.
Little did the people of the Vincardine knew that there was another face behind that facade of equality and justice when it came to their beloved originators. And for their wellbeing, they didn't need to know the dark truth.
