As we were escorted out of the dark carriage, we arrived at a tall palace of ice where sparkling particles slowly rained down on us.
In the distance, a fiery tree pierced the clouds and what tangled around it was a massive snake that had the head of a dragon.
My confusion only increased after seeing this, but after running into the empress, I had a slight grasp of the situation.
Hmmm… So there is war. Cora was right.
We walked farther and farther into the palace under the surveillance of the empress and her eyes stuck to us like glue.
I also couldn't help but shiver a bit since it seemed like she was carefully observing only me.
Upon arriving inside what seemed to be the throne room, we were lined up and then forced to kneel next to a few warriors that watched us.
Their eyes also stuck to us like glue, but everybody here mostly knew that we could instantly beat them by ourselves.
