Chapter 26: The Dream of Stars (2)
At the towering gates of the majestic Agnes Empire's royal palace, a woman stood, her face a puzzle as she gazed at the imposing entrance.
She was a sight to behold with her raven-black hair cascading down her back and eyes burning as red as blood.
Her name was Liushina Bloodwalker, a dedicated follower of Zion.
"Who would have thought I'd end up here?"
Liushina was standing outside the palace, fulfilling Zion's command to infiltrate it after taking care of the secretive assassins of the 'Night of Rest' and tracking down the one who pulled the strings.
Despite never having set foot in a royal palace or even a lord's country estate, Liushina found herself oddly comfortable.
"Zion kept his word after all."
Since arriving in the capital and carrying out Zion's orders, she'd taken more lives than ever before.
It wasn't entirely satisfying yet, but Liushina felt optimistic about the future.
