Chapter 297 Voice of Gaia and Atlantis — Politics Knocks on the Door Again
Supreme Courtroom, Concordia Hall, Elysvarre
The thirteenth morning after the Anathema concluded
In the grand hall adorned with exquisite marble pillars and intricate carvings of the Tree of Life, the diplomatic bells tolled. Each chime seemed to awaken not only memories but also deep-seated emotions tied to the divisions and turmoil that had engulfed the three realms—Gaia, Atlantis, and Elysvarre—each now compelled to partake in this sensitive dialogue.
For the first time since the conclusion of the Heaven Wars, Gaia and Atlantis sent official envoys to Elysvarre.
Not as allies, but as cautious observers of the new will that has emerged in this kingdom. The expressions of each envoy reflected a complex mixture of hope and tension: a hope for a brighter future intertwined with the palpable fear of betrayal that might lurk along the way, a reflection of the bitter history they had endured and the fragile trust that had yet to be established.
On the high seats, Fitran and Sheena sat side by side. They bore no political symbols, only simple ceremonial attire adorned with the emblem of freedom: a purple rose encircled by a small star in the center. Their surroundings resembled a tranquil battlefield, where every phrase and movement could become a deadly weapon if not chosen with care.
Before them:
Queen Iris of Gaia stood gracefully in a dark blue gown, her cloak adorned with the symbols of earth magic. There was something chilling in the firmness of her lips, reflecting her commitment to fighting for her people's rights while navigating this new world.
Archon Magistrate Hector Alfrenzo, representing Atlantis, wore a white robe with ocean blue embroidery. His cold and calculating demeanor was evident, as if he had already prepared for various possible directions this conversation could take.
Beside Hector was Senator Kaeso Vallaricus, the leader of Atlantis' conservative faction, his sharp eyes hiding strategies behind every glance. He sounded skeptical, as if he were hearing the voices of supporters urging him to assert Atlantis's strength rather than engage in negotiations that might be perceived as weak.
Iris spoke first.
