Chapter 93 - Power, Wisdom and Ambition
The palace gates slowly creaked open with a resounding thud, revealing a vast entrance adorned with pillars sculpted with intricate draconic details.
The crest of the Dragon King's Kingdom was engraved into the polished marble, gleaming under the light streaming through the stained-glass windows.
Eidar and Rygar advanced, guided by a group of guards clad in ornate gold and blue armor.
The floor was covered by a scarlet carpet embroidered with golden threads, while the ceiling displayed frescoes depicting ancient kings and their conquests.
As they walked through the palace corridors, Rygar observed his surroundings keenly.
The walls were decorated with luxurious tapestries and banners portraying dragons in majestic poses.
The stained-glass windows cast vibrant hues across the floor and walls, creating a spectacle of light and shadow with each step.
Outside, the inner gardens were an awe-inspiring sight. Flowering trees with reddish and golden petals contrasted with the vibrant green of meticulously pruned shrubs.
Small artificial lakes reflected the clear sky, while dragon-shaped fountains poured crystal-clear water into marble basins. The air was filled with a soft fragrance of exotic flowers, and butterflies danced around the flowerbeds.
Maids dressed in discreetly colored gowns moved silently, tending to the gardens and carrying trays of fruits and tea.
Guards patrolled strategically, always vigilant, each carrying a longsword at their waist. The discipline was evident; none of them appeared relaxed, even in the presence of an esteemed visitor.
