Chapter ~ 42

Reuben. [III]



The abbot palace was situated high upon a hill overlooking the port city of Calavaria. It was needless to say, looked to be the most extravagant abode of all places in the province of Calavaria.

I stared at the gigantic structure in front of me in wordless silence, only with a brow raised.

The place looked nothing sort of a place that a holy man devoid of any greed or mundane temptations of the world would reside in. It was sort of a lavish tower that grew from the ground as an albino plant reaching for the sun. From what I could see, the tower was adorned with golden dooms and the pillars were ostentatiously painted in brilliant gold. The walls were so meticulously built that they looked every bit like the abode of a monarch rather than a humble monastery.

"Such shameless extravagance! I see they dare to do a lot." Gilbert beside me spat out in utter disdain.
