The moment Henry and his knights arrived at Earl Auden's estate, they knew that they were in over their heads.
Earl Auden wasn't available right away so they were taken to a pristinely decorated sitting room where they would wait for him to greet them.
Down the long hallway, there were windows on either side boasting sparkling snow white covering expanses of land on either side. Based on the varying lumps in the snow, Henry imagined it was quite an impressive garden during other seasons.
Since the house sat at the opening of a triangular stretch of land, there were mountains no matter which window you looked out of.
The interior of the mansion was built with white brick which made it look lighter and more airy than the palace. Though it certainly did take a page out of the palace's book on interior decoration. The sconces and chandeliers were all gold while impressive tapestries hung along the walls.
