The guest room within the Earl's grand estate was an exquisite blend of wealth and subtle grandeur, designed to impress without ostentation. The gentle glow of an ornate chandelier bathed the room in warm, golden hues, its light flickering across tapestries that draped the walls, each depicting tales of valor and legacy. Deep burgundy velvet sofas lined the room, providing plush seating for the five men gathered there.
At the head of the gathering sat the Earl, his posture regal as he sipped delicately from a porcelain teacup, savoring the aroma of his finely brewed tea while observing the scene with quiet satisfaction.
