White Dew City, at the city gate.
The guard blocked the man in front of him and mechanically asked:
"Name? Where are you from? What is your purpose in White Dew City?"
The man glanced at the distracted guard and spat out a name, "Vincent St. Prowse."
"Oh, an entrance tax of three copper coins is required to enter the city…" The guard began to recite his script unconsciously, but soon after, he reacted and finally looked up with a surprised expression at the man in front of him.
"Ma...Marquis!" The guard finally recognized Vincent and immediately bowed in salutation.
His cry of astonishment caused a slight disturbance at the city gate. Shortly after, the knight on duty at this gate hurried over and welcomed Marquis Vincent into the city.
