This castle was truly huge. Bardeelus and his team had to climb four flights of very large stairs, just to get on the same story as the 'beloved' Count. The castle was two-hundred meters tall, after all, so it took a while to move around.
Anyway, soon after, they were given the privilege to meet the Count. He was locked in his massive chambers, behind three, steel-reinforced doors, and was browsing through some documents when the team got there.
The guards were quick with the introductions, they said. "Sir, the delegation of Artakam is here to see you, they came all the way from the holy pillars."
The Count was very receptive towards that announcement, as he respected the structural procedures just like everyone else here did. He welcomed Bardeelus with a formal greeting, and then the whole team was led towards another smaller room within this chamber, right where negotiations were held.
