A Shadow

Chapter 659: A Shadow

In the center of the city, on Noble Street, stood the Royal Palace, an impressive building with a shiny white dome. It was much taller and more grand than the other nearby buildings, clearly showing its authority and power.

The palace had a strong castle-like protection wall, and the elite Karr guards were responsible for security. They were stationed at the four entrances, looking tall and watchful, with spotless uniforms and gleaming weapons in the sunlight. They seemed fully dedicated to their duty.

However, if someone observed closely, they would notice something odd about the guards. Despite their calm appearance, their expressions and body language clearly showed worry and concern. They occasionally glanced toward the palace's interior, seemingly more focused on what was happening inside than any external dangers.
