Red Templar Shield

The servant had taken Eric down to the larder where the press stood unused. The wood polished smooth from years of crushing fruits into various juices. But the room it was situated in was hardly a vault.
Eric stroked his chin as considered "Where do you think they could have gone?"

"I know not m'lord." opined the servant "Perhaps they went to get fresh oranges from the Holy Lands?"
