Ethan nodded in understanding. He sheathed his sword and walked with Risa, following an elder who had approached him.
Right after Ethan and Risa entered the city, more soldiers arrived to help restore the condition of the wounded warriors and elders. All of them still looked shaken by what had happened.
Inside the city, Ethan and Risa walked along the main street that connected one district to another.
Ethan's attention shifted to the citizens. They kept staring at him with intimidating eyes.
"Ignore them. They're not used to seeing outsiders," the elder said.
"I don't mind."
They kept walking until Ethan and Risa suddenly stopped when they saw a palace with red walls, a grand structure more than enough to leave anyone stunned and speechless.
"Welcome to the Blood Palace. Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for you in the throne hall," the elder added.
