The morning atmosphere surrounding the grand noble estate carried an air of dignity that had been cultivated over centuries.
The first rays of sunlight spilled across sprawling gardens carefully maintained by generations of gardeners, illuminating fountains carved from white stone and pathways lined with ancient trees. The estate itself stood proudly at the center of the grounds, a magnificent structure of red and white marble whose towering spires and expansive wings spoke of both wealth and power.
Servants had already begun their duties long before sunrise.
Maids moved gracefully through the corridors carrying trays of breakfast and stacks of documents while attendants coordinated the countless responsibilities required to maintain an estate of such scale. Guards stood at every entrance in polished armor, their expressions disciplined and vigilant, while knights patrolled the grounds with swords hanging at their waists and spears resting against their shoulders.
