Chapter 6: The Schrodinger’s Cat
Thum! Thum! Thum!
The carriage wheels rolled as fast as they could along the muddy road, the horses being whipped to keep up the speed.
Johan knew Sebastian couldn't bear watching the horses being beaten so harshly, but he didn't dare say it out loud. Instead, he quietly told the driver to slow down.
Cold wind rushed in through the open window. Lush green plains and tall trees filled the view, stretching out as far as the eye could see.
The parliament wasn't located in the center of the capital city, Visterea, but in an entirely different dimension for protection.
It was the effect of an artifact called Junji, which created a 150-kilometer-wide plain. There, the Royal Council of the Aurelian Empire chose to build its most important structure.
Even the king's palace didn't enjoy this level of precaution.
Each member of parliament was given a green, palm-sized gem-like stone that allowed them to enter the place—with authorization from the parliament guards.
There were also a few manors built for the staff of the parliament, which were rarely used except in emergencies, standing beside the massive, coliseum-like parliament building.
But Johan wasn't focused on any of that. He was sweating profusely, trying to suppress the panic in his heart behind a cold smirk, directed at the people who were staring deeply at him.
Selene, Olivia, and even Sebastian—all stared shamelessly at him: one with respect, one with a cold gaze, one with fear and pleading eyes.
