章 215: Convinced

In the eastern part of the city, near the border that separated the outer city from the inner city, loomed an imposing and grand mansion. Its towering structure commanded the vast expanse of land that surrounded it. The contrast between this mansion and Desmond's humble abode was stark. While Desmond's residence was merely one building among many, this mansion stood alone, its vastness unparalleled. To the left of the mansion sprawled a resplendent flower garden, vibrant blooms dancing in the gentle breeze. On the right side, an open training field stretched out, a place for honing one's skills.

However, despite the presence of the enchanting flower garden, an eerie silence blanketed the mansion's surroundings. Not a single maid or servant could be seen tending to the yard or within the mansion's confines, lending an air of desolation akin to a graveyard.
