Gravis arrived at the Mountain of Pride, but before he could climb it, the Grand Elder appeared in front of him.
"Since you are now a King, you no longer have the status of a mate to the Empress. Therefore, you are not allowed to climb the Mountain of Pride as casually as before," the Grand Elder said with an even voice.
Gravis looked unamused at him. "Okay," Gravis said evenly, "then I'm not here as a mate, but just as myself. I'm going up."
The Grand Elder held his hand out to stop Gravis. "Gravis, your status has changed. We have to keep up the rules."
Gravis rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Oh, shut up," Gravis said in annoyance. "You think I have only been able to visit you guys so many times because of my status? How about you ignore this useless shit about status and accept the reality for what it is."
