Chapter 1229

We were lead into the castle past the sign. The soldiers here looked just as tired and worn down as anyone else.

Rather than being pulled into a waiting area, we were brought straight into the great room. The guards opened two large double doors and gestured us inside.

It resembled any throne room I had ever seen and even had an appeal not unlike the final boss rooms I had encountered at the bottom of dungeons. A man was sitting at the end of the room on a large chair, and as we walked down the carpet getting closer to him, I began to realize he was nearly the same size as me. His chair had been made for his size, so I hadn’t noticed from the other side of the room. Now, I understood why the guards didn’t feel the need to protect him. He looked like a man who could protect himself. With sharp wolfkin features, he gave off a predatory gaze that I had felt from the soldiers that had led us here, and by his size, I could feel pressure.

The wolkin’s shoulders flinched, and he gave a long nod, his ears going limp. This took away all the intimidation he had been giving off in an instant. He seemed like a surprisingly meek person despite his massive physique.

“This is a difficult thing to speak about.” He admitted. “However, to be frank, Dioshin is in danger. We need help.”

That much was obvious.
