Kolon White Castle, a fortress built of white marble, served as the Duke of the South's personal residence. It was normally bustling with noble ladies, young maidens, and aristocrats. At night, the castle would be ablaze with light, hosting one feast after another.
It was the very definition of decadence and debauchery.
Now, however, the City Guard Army patrolled the walls tensely. The castle itself was under complete lockdown, with squads of patrols sweeping its halls, terrified that some unknown person might have slipped inside.
"Someone's coming."
"Get out, quick!"
Startled, the maid who was having an affair with the White-robed Iron Guard hastily pulled down her skirt. She slung the basket of fruits and vegetables over her arm, ignored the mess on the ground, and hurried off in the opposite direction with her head down.
"Who's there?"
Having noticed movement in the dark corner, a squad of patrolling soldiers surrounded the area, their faces tense.
