Anything

The grand entrance hall of the Monarchy's mansion was a sight to see. It felt like a museum that also belonged in a museum.

When Ezra had first arrived, he'd been surprised by the amount of money that would've been poured into its high vaulted ceilings which had beautiful murals painted on it.

The large stained glass windows, sending a kaleidoscope of colors shining around the beautiful floor from the light of the morning sun.

Now that they were expecting such… august visitors, he had to admit that designing the hall this way had in fact, been the correct choice.

He stood beside Akiko, surrounded by a contingent of guards, all dressed in the formal attire of the Monarchy's elite soldiers.

The air was tense but controlled, the atmosphere one of carefully measured civility. It felt like a fight might break out at any moment.
