Chapter 239: The Bloodline of Teraze (Part 1)
Shirone entered the royal family’s inner chambers.
Like a palace within a palace, the scenery here was starkly different from what he had seen before.
Golden wallpaper adorned the walls, lined with portraits of royalty, while luxurious carpets covered the floors.
Shirone headed toward Orcamp’s quarters. Located at the far end of the palace, it wasn’t hard to find.
Upon entering the study, he found Orcamp deep in thought at his desk. Only after a long moment did he notice Shirone’s presence and rise.
Orcamp:"You’ve arrived?"
His tone was more emotional than in the grand hall, but the initial awkwardness remained.
Orcamp:"Come this way. Your mother is waiting."
Mother—that would be Kazura’s queen, Orcamp Elisa.
Orcamp said nothing else as they walked, and Shirone, too tense to even register the silence, braced himself.
This was it—the moment he would finally meet the woman who gave birth to him.
Elisa’s room was undoubtedly the most extravagant space in the Kazura Kingdom. A massive chamber with a pure white bed large enough for ten, atop which sat a woman even paler than the sheets.
