The throne room, looked quite different from what it was the previous night... Probably because the frozen corpses were now gone.
Adrian calmly looked towards the throne where the king sat, that same amused smile from last night still rested on his face.
As though he hadn't attempted to kill him just hours ago.
Behind Adrian stood Lucian, Noelle, and Aqua.
Renelle stood beside him silently, her icy blue eyes fixed on the king without the slightest change in expression.
But Adrian could feel the faint cold spreading from her mana.
She truly wanted to kill him, unfortunately, he wasn't their problem.
"Welcome," the king finally spoke, his voice echoing throughout the hall, "I heard our honored guests have finally decided to challenge the black sea."
Lucian stepped forward since he was recognized as the leader of the group, "We have reason to believe that's where the exit lies."
The king's smile widened faintly afterward.
