The city center of Solstar--the lord's house.
A man who looked no older than 40 sat on a throne-like seat inside a large backyard garden.
Before him was a beautiful field filled with trees, flowers, a large grass field, a koi pond under a small curved bridge, and other small decorations and constructions.
His chair creaked back and forth, a calm look on his face.
After a few seconds of silence, the man heard footsteps approach him from behind.
The chair turned 180 degrees, the man in the chair facing another figure behind him.
"My lord." The figure exclaimed, lowering to one knee and bowing. He wore mercenary-like clothing, leather armor, and daggers sheathed on both sides of the waist.
The man sitting on the chair, addressed as the lord, did not reply.
The bowing man continued, "All of the quests have been bought."
A long pause ensued.
The lord suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the armrest beside him.
