"Halt! The General is approaching,"
Dim red lights illuminated the wooden hallway of General Vander's enormous mansion, creating a warm reddish aura around the halls. The sliding doors of the chambers and rooms on his estate were crafted from bamboo and thick paper. These Eastern-style interiors served as a reminder to each visitor of the general's long lineage of eastern continental descent. They symbolized his heritage and the strategic prowess that his ancestors had mastered, ensuring victories in large-scale conflicts.
The general Vander trudged in the hall with utmost pride, and a head held high. With the finest white-coloured silk robe draped around his tall, muscular body, he looked anything but of his age.
Two guards marched beside him, issuing warnings to the people in the estate to be aware of his approach to the Court Chamber.
