Chapter 205
John in his stupor didn’t know when but he was standing in front of what he would describe as a palace. Its domes and arches adorned with massive gemstones that glowed with an inner light. It was surrounded by lush, terraced gardens filled with vibrant flowers and exotic plants that cascaded down the mountainside, creating a rainbow of colors that contrasted beautifully with the golden architecture.
Not waiting for the humans, the female harpy walked through the palace gate, along the way the humans saw how guarded the palace was. Soon standing in front of a huge door, the female harpy turned to John and his envy "The council are ready to meet you beyond this door"
Taking a deep breath, John and his envoy pushed open the door as they were met with a sight inside the palace. The structure of the palace room had all the council members on a high stand where they looked down at John and his men.
John swallowed a spit as he could feel the aura emanating from the council members here. Everyone was at the fourth stage, some clearly at its peak.
Counting the council members, John noticed about 20 harpies there. While looking around, John was attracted to where the throne was. He could only see a silhouette of a woman as it was covered with curtains.
Composing himself, John walked across the huge palace room floor, feeling all the eyes on him. When he got to a certain distance, he took a knee with his envoys following through.
"My name is John Rosegust, an official seat at the humanity kingdom ruled by king Erik. Because of some circumstances, My king couldn’t be here in person, so I was sent to extend a hand of friendship to the Harpies people ’’ John said as respectfully as he could.
Bernard who was now the oldest council member of the Harpies poke up "Enough with the pleasantries, Why the sudden interest in our people"
John was about to respond when he froze, the white part of his eyes quickly darkening up as his body began twitching. Bernard frowned at the human behavior "Speak up human?" He said, raising his voice.
