His reluctant Luna
There was a smattering of numerous buildings and houses of various sizes, but the centrepiece was the giant castle or a mansion, whatever you might call it.
It was not old, but it was based on the Louis XIII-style château, though it was not medieval looking. It was modernized. Surrounded by acres of forest, meadows, and pastures. A long driveway led through verdant parkland to the grand main residence. There was a French formal garden, graced with a water mirror!
"That's where you live?" I asked aghast.
Lucian was now smiling widely.
"Yes," he replied.
"That building is an architectural marvel, how old is that?"
