16th Century – Upper Hungary

Three strangers arrived  at the castle tonight. Apparently, they are aristocrats, yet they brought neither escort nor servants.

The lady asked me to make them feel as comfortable as possible, but I’m the one who feels uneasy. She seems kind and intelligent, and she speaks with an exotic accent that sometimes makes me smile.

However, the men accompanying her are stern, haughty, and command a great deal of respect. They barely speak, but a dark aura surrounds them. I don’t know—there’s something shady about them. I only hope they don’t stay too long.
