Broken Rock Empire.
In the corridors of the royal palace.
The figure of Marquis Cold Blade passed through stone pillars, heading straight for the queen's study.
His face was grim, his steps heavy, and it seemed each step carried anger, echoing from the marble floor.
"Please stop, Her Majesty the Queen is meeting with Lord Leon!"
At the door, two guards dressed in silver armor quickly crossed their long spears, blocking the Marquis Cold Blade's path.
"Get out of the way!"
Marquis Cold Blade had no intention of stopping.
He raised his arm without hesitation, casually swatting away the crossed long spears.
The two guards hadn't reacted before Marquis Cold Blade had already pushed open the heavy door, barging into the study.
The study was filled with a faint scent of ink, and the afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows, spilling onto the document-laden long table.
