City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord himself was a well-groomed middle-aged man sitting in the back of the great hall which was filled with joyous music and dancing couples. Behind him stood two hooded individuals in the shadows.
The somewhat fidgety City Lord sat on a raised platform, accompanied by three beautiful girls to his right while to his left was a young man with similar features to him and next to him was a lady about the same age as the city lord. The youngster was his son and the lady his wife.
Various other officials dressed in their shiny clothes decorated with badges sat below them on another platform. Most of them were men in their 50s or even older.
They watched the dancers with great interest while throwing cheezy compliments and chugging down drinks one after another.
