Chapter 690: Explanation
Charles and Runeth stood still at the gate, waiting.
Thirty long minutes passed.
Finally, the gates creaked open.
"You may enter now." The guard returned the Elder Seal and whispered something to his companion. Ivan, hearing it, sheathed his sword and gestured for them to pass.
Charles and Runeth stepped inside, walking across a courtyard brimming with greenery and artfully arranged plants. A polished stone pathway guided them past a majestic fountain at the center, its water catching the ambient light in a shimmering dance.
As they entered the mansion, the grandeur only deepened. The spacious foyer was adorned with detailed tapestries and antique furnishings, exuding prestige and power. They moved through corridors lined with historic artwork and subtle enchantments, the very walls whispering tales of the Nightwind legacy.
