Chapter 186.1 - The Pride of the Kingdom
BGM: 24hrs with Camellya – A Secret Record
===
Defteros Kingdom, the royal capital Evaloti — a certain room in the royal castle——
This was a heavily guarded conference room. The four walls were covered with finely embroidered tapestries depicting past monarchs, and there wasn’t a single window. It was designed to defend against magic attacks from the Demon King’s army and prevent sniping from the Bow Saint.
The opulent chandelier overhead glowed with light magic, illuminating the massive glass-topped conference table inlaid with delicate woodwork. Every piece of furniture was exquisitely crafted, showcasing masterful artistry—a space that radiated the kingdom’s history and pride in its refined culture.
However, beneath all the glitter and grandeur, the room was suffused with a stifling heaviness.
The kingdom’s leading dignitaries and allied commanders were assembled, yet every face was marked with sombre grief. Most striking of all was the old man at the head of the table—his white hair dishevelled, eyes sunken, pallid and furrowed face drained of colour, while his skeletal fingers clutched the chair’s armrests as though for support.
That man was the King of Defteros Kingdom himself.
His name was Ossimayer XIII.
