Chapter 135: Assemble The Beast Kings
’We scarcely have need for money... Ten thousand dollars is a trivial sum for the Valhalla family, and equally insignificant for the Borodino lineage, Chloe... Leyla is now effectively my half-sister, granting her access to her own substantial allowance. This paltry sum will be best directed towards Advika... she is the only one among us with a genuine need for it,’ he considered, his footsteps echoing on the stone floor of the castle entrance.
’Regardless, let us expedite this occupation... Though... what in the blazes am I to occupy myself with for these interminable two hours?’
His gaze drifted across the dimly lit, ominously silent hall, and he sighed softly. The sole object that captured his attention was the imposing golden throne situated at the far end of the hall... flanked by two grand staircases leading to the upper levels.
"This is a remarkably... austere throne room," he observed aloud, making his way towards the regal seat and settling into its surprisingly comfortable embrace.
"Though... this isn’t entirely unpleasant."
He leaned back, his thoughts momentarily drifting.
["King Christopher, an individual is rapidly approaching your castle."]
The tutorial’s voice resonated through the vast hall, causing Christopher to raise a questioning eyebrow.
With a casual wave of his hand, the massive double doors creaked open, his gaze fixed on the approaching figure in the courtyard – a lone woman with long, flowing blonde hair that danced in the wind. The academy’s familiar school uniform clung to her form, lending her an unexpectedly endearing appearance.
"Well now, what manner of visitor have we here?" he murmured, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.
