Lord Heidz's Manor.
Four days since the council meeting.
Aric walked into the lord's manor after traversing a long expanse of land, like a sea of well-cut green grass decorated with multiple statues and fountains made of white stone. The manor itself was large and complexly beautiful, its design speaking of unparalleled architecture and even more profound costs.
It didn't take a second look to know this was the home of the extremely wealthy, and upon entering inside, it was an even greater sight to behold. The entire interior was covered in gold and marble furnishings, and there was no place to look that didn't offer a gleam of wealth.
"Please, this way," one of the servants beckoned as Aric followed behind him.
He was led through a large hallway and eventually up the breathtaking curve of stairs before traveling through another hallway, only stopping when they reached the door at the far end of the hall.
