Lex, Emilia, and Nephthys soon arrived at the entrance and were met by the imperial family's butler, Geoffrey. He bowed before speaking, ''Greetings, Princess Emilia and Lex Dawnstrider. The emperor and empress are ready to see you.''
They were nodding along with Emilia, who started following the older man through the fancy corridors of the palace. The walls were adorned with paintings of previous royals, and the soft glow of crystal chandeliers illuminated their path.
As the group walked, he couldn't help but marvel at the palace's grandeur. After a few turns and staircases, they reached a set of large double doors. Geoffrey stopped before them, bowing slightly, then pushed the doors open, revealing a meeting room.
When the duo stepped inside, his eyes immediately fell upon two familiar figures seated at the room's far end. Caspian, the emperor, and Eliza, the empress, looked up from their conversation, their expressions warm and welcoming.
