Heading to Tomb City

[Blood Moon in the sky, darkness descends]

Time flew by, and soon it was evening. Alex stepped out of the bathhouse, droplets of water cascading down her breasts. She tilted her head, toweling her hair dry. Feeling that drying her hair with a towel was a waste of time, Alex released a wave of heat from her body, instantly evaporating the remaining moisture around her.

After packing her belongings into her ring, she left the room and headed towards the palace.

Robert, dressed in formal attire, waited patiently at the palace gates with his guards.

His face lit up as he saw her approach.

"Miss Alyssa, you've finally arrived. Please, come in."

"Am I late?"

"Not at all, you're right on time."

Robert ushered her into the palace.

The grand hall bustled with nearly a hundred nobles and royals, elegantly dressed and engaged in polite conversation. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere remained surprisingly subdued.
