King Douwin Forgeheart

As they walked towards the king, the expressions of various nobles ranged from pride and amazement to hatred and jealousy. However, none of this mattered to Duke Valiard. He and Aldrian's group arrived at the front of the throne platform, where two thrones were placed. One was occupied by King Douwin, and beside him sat the queen of the Forgeheart Kingdom, Alsanda Forgeheart.

She was, of course, a dwarf like her husband, with red hair styled in a bun and a noble aura that commanded reverence from all. Aldrian sensed a peak Heaven-grade artifact around her neck, likely a defensive necklace. Yet, the most striking presence in the room remained the king beside her.

Aldrian could sense a low divine artifact on the king's body. Beneath the kingly robe he wore was a defensive cloth artifact, and his crown appeared to have hidden mechanisms that even Aldrian couldn't discern.
