Chapter 252: Empress (2/2)

The Hell Chaser bird landed in front of the towering gate where two armored guards were standing at both sides. They greeted Rea when they saw her. And she returned the greetings.

Yman wasn't surprised that Rea was known by them. Since she was the niece of the empire's empress.

When they entered the towering gate, they were greeted by a group of silver armored soldiers. Wait, he remembered these soldiers. They were the soldiers who came together with Rea when he saw her first time in the adventurer's guildhall.

”Welcome back Princess Merea Ella!” They greeted in unison. Yman was taken aback by the combination of their voice.

She greeted back as well.

”.....”

Yman remained silent. However, he admired these people's patriotism in their duty, even under the heat of the burning sun.

Rea sneaked a glance at him when they entered the palace. Yman was amazed by it. It was his first time stepping into a real palace. He once entered a palace inside Rea's world in painting. But it wasn't real. And when he entered the place, it was littered with battle marks.

”Are you nervous?” He suddenly heard Rea's question while they were slowly walking the palace corridors.Probably, he noticed her unsettled eyes.”Of course not,” he replied. 'Itwas more of an ecitement than nervous.' He thought but did not voice out.

Before they arrived at the door, a woman in a maid outfit approached them.

”Princess, the empress is on the balcony,” said the woman in a maid outfit.

”I see, thank you,” Rea replied. Then she urged him to follow. Yman's eyes were still busy wandering around.

Rea glanced at him and knitted her brows. ”Hey!” She called out. Yman blinked his eyes. ”Sorry, this place was so amazing that I can't take my eyes away.”

Yman said honestly. Inside the palace was truly a sight to behold.

Rea gawked for a second from his reply, before a chuckle escaped from her mouth. He stared at her. It was the first time he saw her laughing. Yman thought Rea looked so cute as she chuckled.

When they arrived at the balcony, he saw a woman in a sky blue gown. She was standing with her back facing them.

Yman strengthened himself, this woman in front of him was no doubt the most influential person in the empire, theEmpress of Encantasia empire. He could not believe to see her in person.

He gasped in admiration when she turned around. She looked identical to Rea. Looks like the gossips were true. Royal family from the Mangrove Empire were truly exceptional beauties. And most of them were a little lookalike to each other.

However, they looked more like sisters than aunt and niece.

Empress Eleanna Encanta smiled at them. ”Greetings,” after saying it, she followed up by introducing herself. Crimson was surprised at the Empress's friendly vibes. Rea bumped on his side. Honestly, never in his wildest dreams he expected to find himself in thepresence of a real empress in person. ”Rea, Mr. Crimson, come join me,” she beckoned them.

For some reason, he felt like the empress wasn't someone of an older generation. He felt like she was of the same age as them.

Yman noticed the crown on her head, the diamonds on it were twinkling whenever it was hit with lights.

In any case, he wondered why the empress wanted to see him in person.
