Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace was a sight beyond anything Wuxie had ever imagined. As he was dragged through the grand entrance, his eyes were wide with awe and fear. Towering marble pillars, intricately carved with symbols of the empire's history, lined the massive hallway, their pristine white surfaces glowing under the light of countless torches. The floor beneath his feet was a polished black stone, reflecting his every step as if mocking his helplessness. The grand hall stretched endlessly before him, its high ceilings adorned with golden chandeliers that bathed the room in a soft, almost ethereal glow.
