Shadow Pavillion

Duncan spent the next ten minutes mulling over his sudden change in behavior.

Duncan didn't care about the emptied bar. However, the manager of the bar was lamenting his bad luck for running into this devil star. He knew from the frown on the man's forehead that he was currently not in a good mood.

Earlier, when the pressure had landed on him he felt as if he was going to be crushed. Thus, even though he suffered a huge loss, the manager gritted his teeth and remained silent not wanting to anger the man. 

But soon, as the wine flowed, Duncan's brows eased and he lost himself in enjoying the wine and meat. After having a hearty meal, Duncan's irritation seemed to have been smoothed over and he left the bar without making any more fuss.
