Snow Bear Palace, seventh floor.
Lanci and Siegler's apartment-style suite was spacious and comfortable. The living room's wooden furniture emitted a fresh, natural scent, while the bedroom boasted soft beds covered in thick wool blankets. Lanci opened the door, took a glance, and felt rather good about this Beastmen City-States.
"Deserving of the trading city-state closest to the Palante Empire."
Lanci sighed and returned to the living room he shared with Siegler.
Siegler had left the larger bedroom for him, and his luggage had already been placed inside, while she herself took the smaller one.
"She was warning you just now, meow, your likability has dropped."
Cat Boss emerged from the shadows, leaping onto Lanci's shoulder.
Heavy curtains hung over the floor-to-ceiling windows, keeping out the cold from outside; drawing them back revealed the beautiful nighttime scenery of Small Stone City, its lights twinkling alongside the starry sky.
