Alex walked back to the same inn in the town's western district where he had previously stayed, which had now become his residence within the town.
Interestingly, the inn had been jointly owned by the Winkler and Aulin clans. By confiscating the wealth of the five clans, ownership of the inn had automatically passed to the domain, allowing Alex to use it as he saw fit.
