Grand Scheme (2)

"We are here to see the Divine Light Empress," Yun Lintian said, stepping forward, his voice firm and resolute. "We have matters to discuss with her."

Xi Xurou turned towards Yun Lintian, her expression softening slightly. "Of course," she said, gesturing towards the inner chambers of the palace. "Please, follow me."

As they walked through the palace corridors, Yun Lintian couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being watched. The Chaos Knights, though seemingly respectful, exuded an aura of suppressed hostility, their gazes lingering on Yun Lintian's group a little too long for comfort.

They finally reached the Divine Light Empress's private chamber, a place of serene beauty and quiet power. Xi Xurou announced their arrival, and they were granted entry.
