Whateley Manor
Off to the north was the old mansion, the Whateley Manor. Once the home of a prestigious clan of families, it was long since abandoned, with all its inhabitants buried in its two graveyards. The Manor had an air of foreboding about it, and even brave Rosella shivered a little when she approached it.
No smoke came out of its chimney, confirming its abandonment to the Princess. Nonetheless, she was curious as to what it looked like inside, and it might have had some more things to help her on her quest.
After a moment's nervous hesitation, she stepped inside.
