Chapter 949 - New Paradigms

A cup of steaming tea sat on a table in a gorgeous pavilion of dark wood sitting in a massive garden. A palace loomed over the garden but it was just as richly decorated as the pathways crossing the well manicured plants that made up the area.

A young man sat at the table alone as he let the tea cool as he examined a jade slip in his hands. He had sandy hair cut short as his robes were a mix of blue, black, and silver. His face was narrow but very handsome. His eyes were as black as obsidian as they were focused on things only he could see.

He senses retracted from the slip as he frowned as he sipped some tea. He looked up at the pleasant blue sky with white fluffy clouds but the majestic view brought him no joy.

"Highness." A voice spoke from midair but the man did not seem surprised.

"Unless it is something supremely important or a command from my Mother, leave me alone." The presence paused but did not leave.
