Audience With The Empress

The moment Dante stepped foot in the Celestial Realm, his goal was clear. He needed to get the antidote for Laina as soon as possible. But just as he was about to take a step forward, a sharp piercing pain spread through his heart. 

He stopped in his tracks as he almost tripped on his own foot. Marius, who was right by him, immediately caught hold of him. 

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Marius asked as he helped him up on his feet. 

"I'm… I'm alright," Dante muttered. 

But his head was still spinning. His hands were ice cold. Marius realized something was amiss. Seeing as there was no one around them, he quickly brought Dante to a nearby garden pavilion to rest. 

"We don't have time, I need to," the moment he got up on his feet, Dante had to sit back down.
