Chapter 81. The King and Queen

Royal Court, Lower North Heaven.

Advik and Shwet followed the mouthy maids and entered the Royal Court after them. The maids placed the food and water near the throne with their heads low and scurried out like they had seen some vicious ghosts - they were too afraid to make even the slightest noise in front of the King.

Advik saw the maids leave like that and frowned before his attention was instantly grabbed by the pitiful scene ahead. Shwet's gaze turned colder as he could only stare in front of him.

The King of Lower North Heaven was sitting on the throne as he looked down from his seat. In between the empty parallel rows of seats for other royal officials, was a seven or eight years old child in a disheveled and awful appearance, chained by heavy spelled chains as he kneeled in front of the King. While two guards behind him stood straight, waiting for any new command from their King.
