The next morning, Magnus awoke with the first rays of sunlight. As usual, Helen and the maids entered to clean his room while Magnus headed to the prepared bath. After a refreshing soak, he returned to his room, where Seraphina was already waiting with his breakfast.
"Thank you, Seraphina," Magnus said, appreciating her presence before he began his meal. After eating, he got ready for the long day ahead.
As Magnus left his quarters, he made a mental note to upgrade his living space. It was a bit too modest for someone of his status, especially now that the territory was about to be expanded.
With more outsiders expected, it seemed a bit underwhelming for the lord of such a territory to reside in a place only slightly above the average homes in the territory.
"Good morning, Lord Magnus! Hope you slept well," a group of women and girls greeted him as they passed by.
