An Evening Walk

To a cultivator, a month was supposed to be a very short period of time that would usually just pass before one could even realize it had passed.

However, to Alex, the month following his ascendence to royalty felt like the longest month in recent memory.

His days were no longer monotonous where he could spend them doing the same thing over and over, simply losing himself to time.

Instead, he was forced to look at different problems every day, not letting each day blend into the other to not feel the passage of time.

"That will be all, your Majesty," the elder finished reporting everything to Alex.

"Thank you," Alex said while on his throne and sent the elder away. He slumped a bit after the elder was gone.
