Ainsley sighed after touring the mansion for an hour. The people there acted polite and such, but she could still feel the tension coming from their body.
Roland looked at the Lord Commander of this castle that was standing kneeling down.

The duel between the faction leaders had started just like last time but the opponent capitulated without them even going through one exchange of blows.
