Thousands of kilometers away from the Wargrave estate, another massive castle could be seen stretching out across vast meters of land. Its walls stood tall and majestic, towering with defiance as the castle itself seemed to pierce the sky like a challenge to the heavens.
This was the Silvershade Ducal Household Estate.
Roughly six months ago, the Silvershades had suffered immense losses, both financially and reputationally, after they were forced to open their secret family vault and spend their hard-earned coins to pay the Duke of Wargrave.
It had all happened because Duke Rhydion Silvershade had lost a bet, one that he himself had suggested, confident in his success.
Following that costly mistake, the entire household's daily affairs changed. Most noticeably, their meals. The quality and rarity of the food served in the estate dropped by nearly half, causing whispers among the servants and discontent among the family members.
