In the grand mansion of the sleeping young Baron Wallace, the night's peace was suddenly shattered.
A distant boom shook the windows, causing Wallace to stir. He opened his eyes briefly, annoyance flickering across his face, but with a patient sigh, he closed them again, trying to fall back asleep.
Moments later, another boom hit, louder this time, rattling the windows and sending a faint but undeniable tremor through the room.
Wallace's brow furrowed in mild irritation as he adjusted his position, trying to ignore the disturbance. But then, a woman's loud scream pierced the night, slicing through the walls of his mansion.
Wallace's eyes snapped open, his teeth gritting in frustration. "Those damn loud idiots!" he muttered, swinging his legs over the side of the bed.
Meanwhile, back in the town square, the aftermath of the explosion left everyone in stunned silence.
