True Essence
- Within the Death Realm -
Soon, Axilia brought me to a building to the left of the king's, on the other side of a concrete strip of sidewalk. The roads were lit by lamps that were powered by hot white fire rather than electricity, but even with the flames, the night air of the Death Realm was chilling to the bone.
"Come on, darling~" Axilia said, pulling me inside through the front doors and shutting it behind her once we were both inside.
"This place…" I looked around at the interior of the building, which was nothing short of the king's. There was some dust settled on the furniture since she had been away for so long, but that was concerning in a different way.
"Axilia… do you not have servants here?" I asked, frowning.
"Nope~" She said in a carefree tone, merrily pulling me up the stairs.
"But… why? You're the princess of the kingdom… how do you not have any servants?"
