"Let's relax a bit then we'll end a boss Incursion," he said dryly as he sat down cross-legged and began absorbing and guiding Spirit Energy into every part of his body. Bringing himself to peak condition. In preparation for the grueling clash ahead.

In front of a familiar sealed black door, covered in layered engravings stood an old man in a proper butler uniform of black and white.
He was fairly good-looking for an old man with black slicked-back hair already turning grey and sharp yellow eyes that seemed to see through you.
His hands were covered by white gloves with the Bane insignia on them as he checked the pocket watch he had brought out of his pockets. Seemingly lost in thought till a voice brought him out of it.
BANG!!!
The door opened with a bang like the person inside finally cared enough to address his personal servant.
"Haaaaa, you've been here for how long now. Go away...Alistair." The voice said dryly.
"I've been standing here for two days, twenty hours, forty-seven minutes, and twelve seconds my Liege. I can't go away this time, a letter came in for you from the Capital, it has the Emperor's seal and it requires your immediate attention."
Alistair replied bringing out an envelope from his suit pocket. He looked into the room, but he couldn't make out anything past the gaping darkness
"As precise as ever, what would that purple-eyed snake want now I wonder. Read it to me, Alistair….Or rather, make a summary of it.
Without hesitation, the old butler went through the letter, and after a brief pause, he relayed the most important bit.
"It's a summons, my Liege…He's summoning all the Nobles"
"Hmm, all the High Nobles you mean?"
"No, my Liege….All the Nobles of Gregoria
His words were followed by a stillness as silence returned to the room.
"Since when has he ever cared about anything outside the Ancients?…."
"Oh….I see….some foolish children have started thinking they can rebel huh"
"I think it's high time you left seclusion my Liege"
"I'm still making preparations Alistair"
"We both know you've been done for quite a while now and are just avoiding little Lia Sire" The old butler said as he bowed deeply, trying to hide the smile on his face.
"——"
"Haaaa….Fine, besides my Dukedom has become a bit too noisy lately…."
After saying that the oppressive darkness simmered down a little as two pairs of eyes came into view. The first pair, a chilling blood red, and the other, a huge pair of eyes whose colours were ever shifting. The second pair obviously didn't belong to a human.
Footsteps echoed loudly as the Duke made his way out of the chamber and into the corridor and stood before the old man.
The butler was over 6ft tall but the Duke still towered over him. He possessed a mane of curly white hair and deep blood-red eyes that one could get lost in. He had fair skin and a flawless-looking face and a physique that seemed to have been sculpted to perfection.
He was dressed in a black and white robe that didn't restrict his movement.
He was Augustus Orion Bane. Duke of Bloodhaven and head of the Bane family
"You look well my Liege"
You don't look too bad yourself Alistair." The Duke replied as he started walking away. "Oh and tell that old man he has a week to make the whole of Bloodhaven habitable again or he won't get to retire till the next two centuries."
"As you wish Sire" The old butler replied, falling a step behind his master till something made him freeze in his tracks.
"Ah…no Khaorax, you can't eat that one, he's an old friend.
