Chapter74-The Storm is Coming
The Royal Palace, Council Hall.
Led by a royal envoy dressed in a golden robe, Owen entered the core location where Azure Kingdom discussed domestic and foreign affairs.
This hall was entirely white, with a large arched ceiling adorned with various gems that emitted bright, multicolored light.
Chairs surrounded the hall's edges, enclosing the spacious area.
At the front of the hall, King Aldric sat with a stern expression, resembling a mountain, his presence heavy and oppressive.
Seated beside him was an elderly man with a cane, exuding a suffocating pressure.
Despite his frail appearance, he felt like a dormant beast, subtly suppressing everyone in the hall.
This man wore the official attire of Kyrik, with a blood-stained axe embroidered on his chest, marking him as the Kyrik Penal Minister.
In any kingdom, the Penal Minister was a figure of immense power and terrifying strength.
