Chapter 107: New Territory: Solinthar Empire
The journey through the city was memorable. The streets were packed with soldiers, mages, and civilians alike. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the rumored Messiah, and based on their reactions, I’m certain they weren’t disappointed.
Hovering beside the Empress, the people paid less attention to her and focused entirely on me.
Mind you, the information had only reached them two hours ago, yet it seemed like everyone dropped whatever they were doing just to see me.
I could see eyes peeking through windows, even soldiers on the towering walls gazing down with curiosity. Their energy was electrifying—and highly contagious.
Never in my life have I been loved by so many people. I have to confess, the feeling was strangely energizing.
So strange, in fact, that I could feel something—but I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
The journey to the palace was long. Even the capital, which once belonged solely to the royal family, was vast—probably the size of a small American state.
Upon arrival, I was stunned to see a fortified castle so massive, surrounded by a sizable body of water and a drawbridge. Upon entering, I noticed all the royal guards had come out to catch a glimpse of me, and all the servants were gathered at every window in the massive structure.
However, before entering the castle, I froze in my tracks as I felt a cold gaze fixated on me.
My eyes scanned from window to window... and then I found the source.
At the uppermost part of the castle, a figure hidden behind the curtains watched me closely.
