The following morning arrived quickly and it was soon followed by evening, it was now the time to go to a party inside the mayor's house.
From the outside, this house looks impressive. It has been built with spruce wood and has fir wooden decorations. Large, octagon windows allow enough light to enter the home and have been added to the house in a fairly symmetrical pattern.
The house is equipped with an old-fashioned kitchen, four bathrooms, it also has a snug living room, five bedrooms, a roomy dining room, a sunroom, and a modest basement, and a ballroom.
The building is square-shaped. The house is half surrounded by stylish gardens.
The second floor is smaller than the first, which allowed for several balconies on the sides of the house. This floor has a different style than the floor below.
The roof is low and square-shaped and is covered with red roof tiles. Two small chimneys sit on either side of the house. Rows of small windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.
The house itself is surrounded by a gorgeous garden with many hidden lights that make the garden come to life at night.
Even though it was night and the moon hung in the sky, the ballroom was illuminated by a plethora of lusters hanging on the ceiling.
On a wide dancing floor seemingly made of gold, nobles could be seen mingling and chatting while slow and soothing music filled the air.
The males wore beautiful black suits while the women wore different kinds of dresses, showing their personalities.
Laugher, smiling, and happiness seemed to be the rule.
Clearly, they were waiting for something or someone.
Their wait didn't last for long, since the moment the door opened, the servants standing on the side of said door shouted,
"The outsiders have arrived, Alexander and his companion Incursio are entering!"
The moment this introduction was made, the music stopped and all those present lifted their heads to see the duo, the first to enter was Alex dressed elegantly.
His very short-sleeved, silky jacket covers him to well below his waist and is tightly tied with string slightly off-center. The sleeves of his jacket are quite wide and reach down to his hands, they're decorated with a single thread lining from top to bottom.
The jacket has a deep, round neckline that reveals part of the ornate shirt worn below it and is worn with a simple rope belt, which is held together by an intricate knot. The rope belt is purely decorative and a sign of wealth.
His pants are a simple and comfortable fit and reach down to his leather boots. The boots are made from a pretty uncommon leather, but are otherwise not that special.
Incursio was beside him in her beautiful dress. Her elegant dress flows from top to bottom and has a round neckline, which gracefully reveals the delicate dress worn below it. The ornate, buttoned-up fabric of her dress covers her stomach where the continuous flow is broken up by a large rope belt worn fairly low around her waist.
Below the rope belt, the dress opens up wide and reveals the dress below. The front of the top dress is shorter at the front and curves outwards, the back continues to flow a fair length behind her and ends in a narrow curve.
Her sleeves are quite long and have a loose fit, their flow is broken up at the elbow where they're divided by large, modest bands, these are the same fabric and color used to outline the sleeves and neckline of the dress.
In the then-filled music room, the sole sound came from the slow and steady steps of the couple.
'So, this is the outsiders.'
'He is even more handsome than I thought.'
'What a demeanor.'
'The woman is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.'
'I'm jealous of her beauty.'
'They look good together.'
Such thoughts filled their minds as they watched, from the corner of their eyes, the couple slowly walking toward the center of the room, where a middle-aged man stood proudly with his head held high.
Suddenly, it became a contest between the male outsider and the middle-aged man.
The contrast between the two was pretty overwhelming.
Alex was young and vigorous. His short black hair gave him a somewhat boyish look, but the air around him broke no argument about his uniqueness. His blue and silver gave him an aura of elegance full of mysteriousness.
The middle-aged man, on the other hand, looked like an amiable and somewhat normal old man who wouldn't even be able to hold a sword, much less fight. His clothes screamed ostentatiousness and arrogance. This man was none other than the mayor of this dungeon's city, Angus Green.
The moment Alex advanced toward the mayor with Incursio not far behind, all those present suddenly felt as if they were being crushed.
All of them understood that a silent confrontation between the old and the young man was happening. They were nothing more than collateral damage. They hadn't expected a direct showdown like this.
''Welcome sir Alexander and your wife.''
''Thank you, Angus, we finally met.''
The moment Alex finally stopped in front of the mayor, the very atmosphere in the room seemed to be separated into two. Though no matter where the nobles stood, all of them had an ugly expressions.
They didn't understand why this was happening.
Before coming here, they had an inkling that something would happen. But, no matter what, it was too fast for them to tear all pretense so fast.
The mayor had a sneer as he looked at Alex. Watching this face so close reminded him of that infuriating man he buried a few years ago, the man thought he was special while he was normal, but the funniest thing was that the normal man killed the special one and with his riches developed this city into what it's today.
Still, even though they looked alike, this likeness was only from afar. Everything from his demeanor to his aura was different from that man Angus came to this conclusion.
Alex, on the other hand, had an impassive smile as he inspected the man whose son had put a contract on. Talking about the son, he was not far from them, Alex didn't pay attention to him as he had something to test.
