Chapter 278: Insidious Puppet
Seven Sins System Chapter 278. Insidious Puppet
After leaving Baelthor's dim and eerie chamber, I couldn't shake off the lingering sense of mystery that had enveloped the encounter. The cryptic knowledge he had shared with me from the Codex of Shadows was both intriguing and ominous.
I activated my teleportation skill. The familiar sensation of dark energy swirled around me, engulfing me in its ethereal embrace. In an instant, I was transported to the garden.
My arrival was swift and silent, the dark aura dissipating as I materialized amidst the garden. The palace's garden was a mesmerizing blend of darkness and ethereal beauty.
Gone were the vibrant colors and warm sunlight of the mortal realm's gardens. Instead, the Shadow Realm's garden was bathed in a soft, reddish glow that emanated from the red moon above. The shadows danced and swirled around every corner, creating an otherworldly ambiance that was both haunting and alluring.
The flora that adorned the garden was unlike anything found in the mortal world. Strange, twisted trees with inky black leaves reached skyward, their branches forming intricate patterns against the moonlight. Glistening, luminescent flowers bloomed in various hues of deep purple, midnight blue, and ghostly white, their petals radiating an otherworldly glow that seemed to draw power from the very essence of the realm.
I walked around the garden, my eyes darting from one corner to another in search of my women. As I continued my search, I spotted a figure approaching me from the shadows. A royal servant, clad in dark, flowing robes that seemed to blend effortlessly with the surrounding darkness. His skin was a pale shade of gray, and his eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity, a testament to the powerful energies that coursed through his being.
His hair was a cascading inky blackness, cascading down his back in waves. A pair of delicate horns adorned his forehead, giving him an air of regal authority. His aura exuded a sense of subservience, yet there was an underlying strength that hinted at his true power.
"Your Highness, what brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the parlor room?" The servant greeted me with a respectful bow, his voice smooth and melodic like a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves.
As soon as the servant mentioned the parlor room, I knew exactly what he meant. My double, the puppet that my dad had created to handle some of my public appearances and duties, was supposed to be attending a gathering in the parlor room.
"That pesky puppet," I muttered to myself, a mixture of irritation and amusement tugging at the corners of my lips.
I smiled warmly at the servant.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
Gasps and screams echoed through the parlor room as the grotesque scene unfolded before them.
"That's for pissing in my wine pool," I hissed, my voice dripping with spite and anger. The disrespectful act was still fresh in my mind, fueling my determination to make him pay for his insolence.
The parlor room was still reeling from the shock of my confrontation with the puppet when Lily's voice cut through the tense air like a blade. "What are you doing, dumbass?!" she yelled, her concern for me overtaking any anger she might have felt. Her eyes were wide with panic, her chest rising and falling rapidly with each breath.
I turned to her, my annoyance flaring at her outburst. "I'm giving a lesson to that stupid puppet!" I retorted, my frustration evident in my voice. The encounter had left me on edge, and I was not in the mood for anyone questioning my actions.
Ivy, who had been standing by Lily's side, cringed and turned to me with a pale face. "Uh... Your Highness, he is not a puppet," she said, her voice tinged with panic.
