Abasdarhon's Castle

-- It's been a busy day, -- Decimus commented, looking at the city street. The windows of his room overlooked the sea, and from the second floor, there was a great view, even though Grelli's house was located in a human district. -- Ah, the hustle and bustle!
-- This might work to our advantage, -- his father, already in a frock coat, hat, and with his usual cane in hand, silently appeared in the doorway. -- What? There are soldiers everywhere, everyone is on alert.
-- When the enemy attacks from the outside and danger threatens life, no one will remember the internal enemy and the danger that threatens the wallet. You still have much to learn, Decimus. I'm going to our people. Stay here until I return.

While Quintus Grelli was pondering what had happened, there was a knock at his door.

-- Or not.
Quintus, first looking out the window to see who had arrived, went to open the door.
