The Crown Prince's Doubts

While Lin Mu and his companions were fighting in the Spatial Plane, another set of events was happening in the Capital city.

In one of the palaces of the capital, a regal looking man was sitting in a wide open balcony. 

Crafted from marble adorned with intricate carvings, the balcony exuded an air of regality and elegance. Its edges were adorned with delicate gold filigree, glinting under the sun's warm rays. 

A sweeping staircase led to the balcony, flanked by sculpted stone statues depicting mythical creatures and legendary heroes of the Dao wind empire. A myriad of potted plants and vibrant floral arrangements graced the edges, adding a touch of natural beauty to the already mesmerizing surroundings. 

The Balcony was merely one part though, as it further extended into a wide room that might as well be the royal court of a kingdom. It was decorated accordingly with gold and gemstones everywhere.
