Meanwhile, in a spacious room with a large dragon statue and several grand paintings on the walls, King Valdis—the new King of the Dolores Kingdom—walked calmly toward the stairs leading to the upper floor. Suddenly, Nick Salazar entered and approached King Valdis.

“You arrived quicker than I expected,” King Valdis said without turning his gaze, continuing to climb the stairs.

King Valdis glanced back briefly and said, “You’re not the type to say that. Relax, Salazar, I grant you the privilege to speak freely.”
