The early morning at Shepherd Mansion was eerily quiet. Coachman, household elders, old ladies, maids, servants, and the like, over four hundred people in total, had all gathered outside the grand hall of the mansion.
A Taishi chair was placed at the entrance of the hall, and the new master of the house... no, the new Lord was sitting on the Taishi chair.
It was bizarre. Old Lord Shepherd had died, and the entire family had perished. Miss Shepherd had disappeared last night, yet she had also left a letter with her seal. The letter declared that Shepherd Mansion was to be renamed as the City Lord's Mansion and that, henceforth, all matters of the mansion would be managed by City Lord.
As soon as it was daybreak, the new Lord had summoned everyone, and no one knew what was to happen.
