2 days later… a plainly dressed man was seen quietly walking in the streets of Dragon City. His appearance was so ordinary that no one spared him a second glance. He walked neither too quickly nor too slowly. Simply… like any other messenger beginning another day's work.
Hidden beneath several mundane business documents rested a single sealed letter.
An hour later… the messenger stopped before the castle.
The residence of House Drake.
After exchanging a few brief words with the gate guards… he handed over the sealed letter.
"I was instructed only to deliver this."
"Who sent it?"
"I do not know."
The guard frowned.
"You don't know?"
The messenger shook his head.
"I accepted the commission yesterday. I was told only to deliver it unopened."
The guard studied him carefully. Everything appeared ordinary. Finally… he accepted the request. "Follow me."
The messenger bowed.
He followed the guard inside.

"Silver Manor?"
