Old Residence and Temptation

This three-story brick building was rather tattered and outdated as it was constructed in a style from three centuries ago. Although the steps were scrubbed quite cleanly, the place still seemed rather archaic. The decorative tapestries depicted the heroic deeds of ancient Mist Kingdom rulers. There was still the smell of fresh paint on the tattered walls as a result of recent renovation.

Before this building was a pine tree, a patch of garden, and empty land.

A rusty copper gate encircled this little location. There were still some plants growing in the garden, although at this time of year, they were all withered and dry.

"I previously practiced swordsmanship right under this pine tree…"

I was currently at a quiet place within the East Mist royal palace. This place had previously been the residence of myself and my idiotic twin brother.
