Chapter 46 - 46: Arcane Palace (2/2)

”I have nothing to do and bored...” Turtle nonchalantly said.

”This is Arcane Palace, isn't it? I can't believe its splendor! Oh, you also have statues! That is so exquisite!” the Witch Gwyddien exclaimed.

He lives in Mystic Spirit for quite some time now, yet he still can't help himself getting amazed. Everything in Mystic Spirit is magical to him.

”I don't mind leaving you here and have you work under the Divine Lord. Since you are used to working with the Divine Witch, you won't have difficulties adjusting. It's probably better than following me around.” Lord Tiger snorts.

The Witch Gwyddien can't believe that Lord Tiger suggested to leave him there.

Divine Palaces have rigorous protocols. Young candidates study everything until the selection process.

They are very strict and unforgiving. If one fails, they can never go back to try again.

Gwyddien is still new and barely know their customs. How can he survive?

”Holy Guardian Lord, please spare me and don't abandon me here. That is so cruel…” the witch hastens his step as he follows them to the entrance.

The Palace aides saw the Holy Guardian Lord's arrival and felt relieved. They can take care of minor issues by themselves, but there are also major cases that need the Lord's attention.

”Lord Azure, Holy Lords, your presence is truly appreciated. There are plenty of issues that need the Lord's attention. Will you check them on behalf of the Divine Lord?”

Lord Azure nods as he signaled him to lead the way.

This pleases the aide as he escorts him to the Divine Lord's study. He informs them of their schedule and everything they have to accomplish that day.

Meetings, audiences, discussing the overview of the situations...

More audience and meetings...

Not long, they can't hide their astonishment as they enter the Divine Lord's study. They are welcomed by mountains and mountains of doc.u.ments to be analyzed.

The aide mentioned the tasks are already divided. How come the room is still filled with doc.u.ments?

There must be some mistake!

”You got to be kidding me!? How can anyone finish these mountains of tasks?” Vermilion exclaimed in disbelief.

The aide remained silent as he doesn't have any idea how the Divine Lord finishes everything on time. He always admires his efficiency and good judgments fulfilling his tasks.

Meanwhile, Lord Azure always knew how strenuous the Divine Lord's duties. He remembers helping him way back as he sighs.

There is no time to dillydally and overthink! They have to accomplish as much work as they can to help.

The aide left as he bows his head. He is pretty sure they need all the time to accomplish everything.

Meanwhile, Azure decided to divide the tasks and started doing what they could to help.

At first, they have trouble coping up but soon adjusted assorting and reviewing every single doc.u.ment.

Still, how can the Divine Lord do that all by himself?

Not long, Lord Azure took care of the meetings to discuss their decisions while Turtle supervises Tiger and Vermilion on doing all the paper works.

They carefully handled every issue with care. One misstep can cause trouble for everyone. They all have to take precautions as they consider all possibilities.

Soon, their mind is exhausted, and their eyes are sore. How can one person do all of those things by himself?

Vermilion and Tiger can't help admiring the Divine Lord's efforts to keep the Realm safe and orderly. Who could have guessed he is doing so much?

Then they remembered Little Eu and her silent efforts to support him. She always makes sure not to trouble the Divine Lord with things she can accomplish.

Intercepting spies, reinforcement of weakened barriers, and assisting them...

She even taught them new methodologies and skills.

They crease their brows at the thought.

Eu seems aware of handling a Lord's tasks pretty well. She also works very efficiently.

They shrugged at the thought and assumed that it is probably because she is an Oracle who can foresee everything.

Still, was it truly because of that?

After a long day of exhausting work, the group finally accomplished everything.

Vermilion slumps on her chair as she looks at the beautiful painting on the ceiling. It is a spectacular work in bronze and gold.

”Finally... I thought we couldn't rest tonight...” Vermilion said as she heaves a sigh of relief.

Tiger rubs her eyes, and she stretches her arms. Her body is all sore from this kind of task.

”It's too tiring. I deserve a drink!” she declared.

”How could you complain after sleeping through half the job? Little Gwyddien has done most of your tasks.” The Holy Guardian Lord Vermilion refuted unbelievably on her comment.

”Either way, I need a drink! Serve the drinks!” she demanded.

They can't help finding her unbelievable.

The three other Holy Lords and Gwyddien left and ignored her as they wanted to rest.

It's indeed been a long, exhausting day…
