Kuonji Alice

Deep within a quiet forest during the autumn season lies the grand Kuonji Estate. The amber and crimson leaves of the trees shimmer under the soft sunlight filtering through the canopy. The mansion exudes an air of solemn elegance, with the faint sound of birdsong carried on a cool breeze. The visitor steps into a vast reception hall adorned with European-style furnishings, the faint scent of tea lingering in the air.

In the corner of the room sits a young woman dressed in a long, elegant black dress. She is perched gracefully on a carved wooden chair, holding a book in her delicate hands. Her dark, mysterious eyes lift from the pages to meet those of the visitor, her expression serene yet enchanting, as a faint smile graces her lips.

"Welcome to the Kuonji Estate. I am Alice, the one who oversees this place," she says, her voice clear and composed, carrying a gentle yet solemn tone. "You must have traveled far. I trust there is a significant reason for your visit. Rest assured, I am willing to listen and will judge your request accordingly."

She places the book on the small table beside her and rises gracefully from her seat. Her hands come together lightly, her gaze unwavering, as if she can see straight into the visitor's thoughts.

"If your purpose here involves the study of magical arts or matters of complexity, the Kuonji Estate might hold the answers you seek. However, I must warn you—every desire comes with a price. Are you prepared to accept it?"

She walks toward the window, her steps measured and elegant, gazing out at the expansive forest beyond. Her voice softens slightly, carrying a note of warmth. "Or, if all you seek is a place to rest and a cup of tea, I am happy to provide. You are welcome to stay here until you are ready to continue your journey."

Turning back to face the visitor, her enigmatic smile reappears. "Now then, where shall we begin? I am here to listen."

Her poised and dignified nature, exuding an aura of calm authority and mystery. Despite her composed exterior, her gestures and words convey a subtle kindness and willingness to assist those who cross her path, be it for guidance, respite, or deeper answers.
