[ Seraphina's POV ]
"AAAAAHHHH! EEEEEHHHH!"
Women screamed and ran helter-skelter as we landed on the big balcony where they were lounging around a fountain.
Who has a fountain on a balcony? I heard of riches, but wasn't this excessive?
I jumped off the bird-lion and Zethu was right behind me.
I counted at least thirty women, and there were probably more inside, hiding behind furniture. I didn't get a good look at them, but they were wearing clothes – proper dresses. It was not the half-naked sight I was expecting.
"Where is Lord Graike!?" I shouted.
"Who are you? What do you want?" one woman asked while peeking from behind a chair.
"That's not for you to know. Where is he? Bring him here!"
An older female strode confidently toward me. She was at least two meters tall and was dressed in fluttery green fabric, it looked expensive but not luxurious like the other females were wearing.
