The office

Lucian almost had a heart attack when he stepped into the real world after leaving the massive building he lived in that was said to be his penthouse on the top floor of a skyscraper. He couldn't see where the building ended when he got down.

Now that he was sitting in the moving metal carriage, he tried to act indifferent, but internally, he was wondering how it could move without horses and why the world was so noisy and loud—it was making his headache worse. The modern world had so many things he didn't like and little he did. He hated noisy places, and everywhere was noisy.

When he first stepped out of his chamber, he had expected to walk into a long hallway just like in Pendragon Palace, but what he found had confused him. No open hallways, no moving servants—just one housekeeper, who had gasped at his attire along with Gary.
