Brief Return [4]

When Claire entered the throne room, she was further introduced to the extravagance of a true ruler of men. From the ornate decorations to the glimmering thrones, all of it seemed like something fantastical. 

Truthfully, Claire had been slightly infected by Damien's interests when he was growing up, so she knew a thing or two about those novels and animes, but seeing it in person was very different than it's animated counterparts.

'I wonder how he felt when he first came here.' She smiled at the thought.

Walking through the hall, her gaze landed on the large pink haired man on the throne. Although his eyes were serious, they contained a hint of strangeness she couldn't quite pinpoint.

James had been able to sense her as she entered the castle, so he knew her measly strength. He had made sure to conceal his entire aura so as to not create any problems.
