Chapter 231: The Jade Palace
The Jade Palace might not be located near the source of the Sacred River like the Mizuryuus’ Castle, but it has the serenity as it was. It has same architectural grace, located atop of cliffs and from a distance they can see some the beautiful scenario of the realm.
On the front gate, the pillars are of wood and there beautiful patterns embedded in jade stones. The structure follows an elevated, open-air Japanese architectural style, reminiscent of ancient Heian-era palaces, with sweeping roofs, delicate wooden walkways, and bridges that stretch like silken ribbons across tranquil koi ponds and sacred gardens. Every important path has details in jade stones, making everyone remember the grace of the Peacocks.
The several gardens was what made Astri love the place more, and her spouses noticed that. They can sense that the Mizuuryuus’ Castle and the Spirit Tree Shrine are purer places in energy, but the Jade Palace is also a calm place.
"You can play around, children. I don’t mind." Seijuurou says to the children with a smile.
The younger ones walks away curious, Yuki stays next to her mother, but her brothers Elias and Kai go keep an eye on the younger ones, specially Albus who loves to go flying around.
"Thank you, Lord Seijuurou." Astri says.
"You’re welcome. Children are bright little things. It’s been a long time since there was little ones in here." Seijuurou says.
"GET BACK HERE, ALBUS!" Lee says, seeing Albus flying to the wall.
"But dad you’ve got to see this!" Albus says, amazed by the view.
"Get dressed. Why you’re only half dressed?" Elias asks Albus.
"To don’t rip the clothes with my wings. Duh."
