CH639 BattleBane Master
***
Elsewhere…
Lady Rosa Mercier and Dalton Asheton arrived at an inconspicuous villa not far from the BattleBane Estate.
Unlike the estate, this villa appeared subdued and almost lifeless. Though modestly large, there were no servants present on the property—an absence that was highly unusual for the calibre of dignitaries permitted to lease such a residence within BloodIron.
Lady Rosa and Dalton paid the gloom no mind as they walked through the corridors with practised familiarity.
Before long, they arrived at the master study. Dalton stepped forward and knocked on the door with measured care and respect.
"Dalton, Rosa… you have arrived? Come in." A gentle voice sounded from within.
Dalton promptly opened the door, and the two entered without hesitation.
