Chapter 92: An Audience with the Unknown

In the morning sunlight, Lake Texcoco shimmered with bright light. And within that brightness was the reflection of countless flowers. This was the Great Botanical Garden of Tenochtitlan, a symbol of the royal family and nobility.

Under the sunlight and the unnamed shadows, amid the sea of flowers and trees, a beautiful Chinese lantern plant was blooming. Intertwined among the branches were dark gold edges, and the red flowers hung like lanterns, emitting a pleasant honey fragrance.

A young blue-green hummingbird, attracted by the sweet scent, danced swiftly among the flowers, stirring up the sound of flapping wings, like dazzling lightning. Then, it abruptly stopped and hovered in front of a flower, stretching out its slim pointed beak and joyfully sipping the sweet nectar.
