Chapter 82: VOL 2 Chapter 27: Lady Ravenspell.
At the end of the auction, Princess Silvana rose from her seat with a serene and calm expression. She then bid farewell with a smile to Erik, who seemed lost in thought, while Seraphina smiled cheerfully by his side.
"See you later, Direct Disciple Erik. It was truly a pleasure meeting you; I hope we can meet again."
"Oh, yes, the pleasure was all mine, and I hope the same."
Hearing Silvana's words, Erik seemed to return to reality. He stood up and politely said goodbye, at which point Silvana gave a slight bow before leaving the VIP room accompanied by her butler, who had taken care of receiving the items the princess had acquired at the auction.
Upon exiting the VIP room, Silvana was immediately surrounded by eight people dressed in elegant black suits, exuding a sharp and dangerous aura. They quickly escorted her to the exit, where a black car with golden details awaited her. It had a sleek and minimalist design, resembling a futuristic version of a royal carriage, without doors and featuring a windshield that extended to the roof, providing a wide field of vision.
After the princess boarded the two-seater car accompanied by her butler, the car's extended windshield darkened completely. Simultaneously, liquid metal covered the seams of the doors, quickly sealing the vehicle entirely, leaving the exterior with a seamless appearance, as if it were a single piece.
Shortly after, Silvana's vehicle rose into the air, surrounded by four other vehicles with a much more robust and angular design, featuring fluid lines and golden and silver details. They formed a small convoy that navigated through the air along the limited-access roads until they reached an impressive building that extended beyond the clouds.
Upon passing above the clouds, the convoy found itself facing a terrace that protruded from the metallic building, adorned with vegetation and tables. It gave the impression of being the entrance to an elegant restaurant among the clouds and was surrounded by multiple floating platforms with what appeared to be trees made of light in the center, with tables and chairs around them, giving the impression of outdoor dining areas.
Quickly, the convoy entered the building through a gate that opened automatically beneath the protruding terrace, arriving at a sort of garage where they landed softly. At that moment, the doors of Princess Silvana's car turned back into liquid metal and then disappeared, while the doors of the other cars opened upwards, gull-wing style.
As the cars automatically docked onto moving platforms that transported them into the building's interior, Silvana walked toward one of the glass elevators, escorted by her guards—the most experienced and lethal warriors of her entire army. The elevator took them to an elegant reception area, where they were greeted by two people, a man and a woman, dressed in elegant suits.
"It is a pleasure to have Princess Firestone in our humble establishment" The man spoke in a serious and elegant tone while bowing deeply along with the woman. Silvana nodded casually and then commented in a tone serious and befitting her royal status.
