Chapter 425 Austin Palace (Part One) (1/2)
The Royal Palaces were a series of the most extensive and luxurious buildings in the imperial capital city.
All of them were constructed in beautiful areas where colorful flowers and towering trees grew. Their airs were rich with the fragrances of different plants.
Thanks to the variety of flora that grew around them, the air was always fresh and clean and also contained a rather large amount of vital energy. Iridescent clouds floated above the buildings like fairy tales and the atmosphere was that of grandeur.
Several small bridges and rivers were laid out among the buildings, cutting through here and there, and the lawns were decorated with artificial hills and fountains. People could hear beautifully played string every time they walked along the cobblestone pathways. Things really were fairy tale in here.
Among these buildings, one of the palaces was now granted to Austin as a reward for his performance. The emperor had even gone so far as to name the palace after Austin as an expression of his appreciation for his talent.
Reuben, the youngest prince was now so fond of Austin that he led a troop of his followers and waited at the gate of the imperial palace when Austin was about to leave. The latter's championship in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games had earned the young prince a great honour, and it was going to work to his great advantage in the competition for the throne.
Undoubtedly, Austin was the one who had made the greatest contribution for Reuben's campaign.
To show his gratitude, Reuben specially waited for Austin at the gate of the imperial palace. In fact, he had even asked his men to prepare for a banquet to celebrate Austin's victory, apart from several other rewards.
However, Austin obviously wasn't in the mood for a party after hearing about Evan and Herbert. He immediately, though politely refused the prince's invitation and decided to return to his palace to prepare. He needed to be ready for all kinds of situations before he set out to rescue his two friends.
Austin knew clearly that all the members of the Blood Wolf Team were cruel and vicious men. They were all known for having committed countless crimes of killing and robbing. The longer Evan and Herbert were with that group of men, the more danger they would be in. Therefore, Aust
o greet him respectfully.
”Welcome back, my master!”
