Chapter 122: Desired Product IV
A huge imperial palace stood at the center of Vienna, symbolizing the power and dignity of the Holy Empire. Its imposing presence overwhelmed visitors from the moment they entered. The wide castle gate and numerous armed knights lining up behind it created an atmosphere that demanded respect, and Bahamut began to feel a twinge of nervousness.
‘I knew the emperor was a man of spirit. But thinking about it now, it’s quite intimidating…’
Of course, Bahamut was not here as a criminal, but as an honored guest. With this in mind, he walked forward confidently.
Bertina and Ophelia, who followed behind him, mirrored his composure, showing no sign of agitation despite the grandeur of the situation.
After passing through the road lined with endless knights, they finally arrived at the main hall. However, the knights suddenly blocked the path of the party attempting to enter.
“Only those with permission may proceed beyond this point,” one knight declared firmly. “Everyone besides Lady Bertina and Mr. Bahamut, please wait here.”
Ophelia frowned at this, but Bahamut responded first, “All right. We’ll do as instructed. Ashbel,” he called.
“Yes, Master?” Ashbel replied.
“Take care of things here until I return.”
