On 126 Avenue du Marché in Lumian, concealed as Alsai, a member of the Poison Spur Mob, pressed the doorbell of the three-story building with a garden out back.
Amidst the pleasant chimes, the valet, who had previously ushered Louis Lund inside, swung open the wooden door.
Seeing Alsai's face beaming with joy, he returned the smile.
"Have the voting results for today been announced?"
"You bet!" Lumian concealed his voice with feigned delight. "Monsieur Hugues Artois will be the new member of parliament by noon tomorrow!"
The valet had long been a believer in the Great Mother, and he had been promised a reward of becoming a Villain after the election. Hearing this news delighted him, and he led Lumian straight to the living room.
