A cool breeze blew through the air. Leaves fluttered, the surface of the lake rippling softly. Flowers surrounding the lake swayed gently in the wind. Not far away, a beautiful, chubby white cat basked in the sunlight, clearly enjoying the lovely weather. It must have escaped from the smothering affection of its masters, choosing peace and quiet instead.
Not far away stood a magnificent manor. Its marble walls unmistakably labeled its owner as wealthy. Sun rays fell upon it, enhancing that impression even more. Large crystal windows allowed the light to reach deep into the manor, illuminating every corner.
At first glance, the quiet manor gave an illusion of being abandoned. Yet within its walls, servants moved about at fixed times each day, cleaning and serving meals before quickly disappearing. The owner herself arrived at scheduled intervals, leaving as soon as her business was done.
Speaking of which, it was almost time for her arrival.
