Yar Continent, north of the Gloria Empire, Beixim Territory.
In the splendid City Lord Mansion, after dealing with a day's worth of documents needing review, Marquis Beixim habitually massaged his temple. He put aside the multitude of official papers and then rang the magic bell on his desk.
"My lord Marquis."
Soon, the steward entered the room, and after bowing to the Marquis, he took away the many documents that had been reviewed.
These were matters of significant impact within the territory, and they dared not make decisions on their own. They required the Marquis's scrutiny before they could proceed according to his wishes.
After watching the steward leave the room, Marquis Beixim's gaze gradually became more solemn. He looked at the window, then got up and walked towards the bookcase, seemingly casually pulling a book from it.
