Shadows of Deception-
Time passes, and soon night descends upon Arthur Mansion, like a shadow stretching long and silent.
The once-lively corridors of the mansion, normally bustling with maids and guards, now lay empty and quiet.

"Sir Executor, I know you must have pressing matters that demand your attention, but I would still urge you to reconsider staying with us tonight," Roland said, his tone sincere.
