The young steward Cain carefully held the arcane candle as he walked through the hall. As the sky darkened, he needed to light all the lamps in this royal manor, for this was what it meant to illuminate the night.
Recently, a legendary novel called "Thainan's Travels" had become the most popular among the youth of Westland. In this book, the author seemed to have personally experienced the exotic charm of the distant Eastern Land, describing it in mesmerizing detail. Cain wanted to finish his work quickly to continue reading the book.
With determination, Cain carried the candle up the stairs. After lighting the lamps on the second floor, he glanced at the third floor—according to Head Maid Lena's instructions, no one was allowed on the third floor. So, after lighting the lamp at the staircase, the young man extinguished the arcane candle and, just as he reached the stairs leading to the first floor, saw Lady Aina and Head Maid Lena arriving dust-covered at the door.
