In the Governor's Mansion on Hope Island, men and women dressed in lavish attire mingled in small groups, each holding a glass of wine. Among them were the influential elite of Hope Island, wealthy fruit merchants, and socialites, all gathered for one reason: to celebrate the return of the island's Governor.
Dressed in a crisp black-and-white suit, Krona raised his glass, took a sip, and smiled at his friend. "This wine is smooth, with low acidity, a firm palate, and a rich, fruity aroma. It must be a blend of the discontinued Cow Mushroom Wine from Shadow Island and Banana Wine, a specialty of Hope Island."
"Mr. Krona, you truly are a master of wine tasting to discern so much from a single sip."
Faced with the compliment, Krona smiled slightly. "It's just a small hobby of mine. Anything is rewarding if you put your heart into it."
