Navigating by the provided directions, Ariana made her way to the renowned mansion district of Half-hill Villa, a locale synonymous with opulence.

At the district's entrance, she showed her credentials and journeyed through a lush, expansive park before the grand estates came into view. Strategically placed, the villas began at the perimeter and became increasingly grandiose as one moved inward, elevated by the ascending hillside.

Ariana had heard tales of Half-hill Villa. The outer-ring villas were within reach for the reasonably affluent. However, venturing inward, the prices skyrocketed, and land was measured not in acres but inches.

Beyond financial prowess, ownership within Half-hill Villa demanded an illustrious Lineage.

Surveying the lavish homes, even the well-traveled Ariana was momentarily taken aback. The area emanated an undeniable air of prestige, making even the outskirts seem almost suffocating. It was a challenging environment for nurturing young minds.
