624 Persuasion_1

Through the bustling streets, Duke St. Rands and Scholar Yerug arrived at the Central Castle of the Storm Fortress.

As the western gateway of the Crimson Flame Territory, the Storm Fortress is a territory directly controlled by the Royal Family, and naturally, this castle is also the private property of the St. Lorenzo family.

The low towers, narrow windows, and thick walls... This castle sacrificed aesthetics and comfort for military purposes.

Trace remnants of battles from unknown times still remained on the antiquated walls, with dense thorny vines creeping up and silently hiding the majority of these marks.

"Is His Majesty present?"

Duke St. Rands stopped outside a large wooden door, asking softly.

The guard nodded, but then refused:

"I'm sorry, Your Grace, His Majesty might be inconvenient to meet with you at the moment..."

Duke St. Rands smiled helplessly, preparing to leave.
