Chapter 1792: The One Who Knows the Palace

Chapter 1792: The One Who Knows the Palace

?

Judging from how unified the thoughts and actions of the factions in the central court, Azief could make one inference.

She uses the Shadow Guards to quickly controls the many factions in the capital.

This alone would give reason for her to be punished. Because the Shadow Guards could only be used by him.

Of course, there is exception. Since Sasha is now regent, she could basically use the Shadow Guards for herself.

After all, when Loki was a regent, he also uses the power of the Shadow Guards to do his bidding

He shakes his head

"I need to ask a second opinion" he thought to himself.

Azief walk away from the study room and he seems to be walking out of Sasha office.

Looking left and right, seeing the Keeper of Palace in some corners of the hallways and pathways in the sky walking

These are the people that keep this titanic palace working.

Azief himself doesn't know most of the task of the Keeper of the Palace. He knows some of their works and knows some of them but there is many of them in his palace.

Some of them are tasked with surveying the area, some are tasked with maintenance, some are messengers of the court and some of them are people who manage other workers.

Most of the Keeper of the Palace are either old, weak and poor. Most of them are accepted into the Palace and work to gain enough energy stone to quit.

Some who knows that the world outside are even more dangerous and did not have the guts to compete in this troubled world would rather spend their life working here

Azief walk past all of these people without even one of them noticing him.

Then he look at a staircase in front of him and he chuckles a bit

"There is even a revolving staircase"

Some of it is taken from the design of Hogwarts in that story book. Some are patchworks of other fantasy method.

He could not help but think even though most of the designs of the Palace is the same, there is also many new changes and design incorporated into the new design of the palace.

"Where did he go again?" Azief closes his eyes, his Divine Sense activated and then opening his eyes, he smiles.

He walk, and each step transported him like he was teleporting from one point to another. He arrives at another tower.

This tower seems lonely compared to the other.

A lone tower that seems to be piercing the sky

The pathway that connected this tower and the main palace is suspended in the air.

Azief could see that there is air formation beneath the tiles probably helping the pathway to get suspended in the air.

He walk through the pathway, and see there is a lone chamber.

"I rarely came here. I usually just summon him to the throne room" he seems to be reminding himself

His memory goes blurry sometimes.

Even more so now, that a few hours had passed. He call it a side effect of having too much information crammed into his mind.

There is many people Azief could seek right now. He could seek Will, he could go and meet Sina and go for a cup of tea, he could go to Wang Jian, or even some of the hidden spies he planted in the capital but for some reason he did not seek those obvious choices but instead goes to this tower.

"Because they did not know this palace as well as this one person" he mutters to himself as he chuckles.

Azief then enter the chamber by phasing through the door. He looks around the office and he shakes his head

"What a room!' he thought to himself.

"A space formation. Outside it looks like it would eb a cramp office but inside it is like a luxury suite of an eight-star hotel"

Full of opulence and sophistication. That is the best way to describe this office. No, it is not quite accurate to say it is an office. It is more accurate to say that it is a hotel suite.

"Did he goes to this room and work or did he come to this room and just laze around?"

Upon entering, Azief is greeted by a grand foyer adorned with polished marble floors, intricate chandeliers, and gilded accents.

The suite spans over several thousand square feet, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the city

Azief walk toward the windows and from his sight he could see the capital city in such a panoramic view that everyone appears like dots moving.

The living area features plush, custom-made furniture upholstered in the finest fabrics, with a colour palette that exudes elegance-deep blues, rich golds, and soft creams.

A large, state-of-the-art entertainment system is seamlessly integrated into the room, with

a massive flat-screen TV, surround sound, and a curated selection of books and art pieces

adorning the walls.

Azief is quite amused seeing this

"Does someone started back entertainment program?"

Twenty years before, even though creating tv is not that hard and could be conjured up easily, there is no need for such television set because even though there is broadcasting station, it is not for entertainment

When you could always be embroiled in a world ending events, creating variety shows, drams, music stages is not really a priority of life.

So, he is quite surprised to see that there is a tv in this room. Azief walks again this, time, he look at the bedroom

The bedroom is like a sanctuary of comfort, with a king-sized bed draped in high-thread- count Egyptian cotton sheets, topped with a thick and soft duvet and an array of pillows.

The bed is positioned to maximize the breath-taking views, with automated curtains that can be controlled from the bedside.

An en-suite bathroom rivals any spa, with heated marble floors, a freestanding soaking tub with a view, a rainfall shower, and dual vanities carved from rare stone.

The bathroom is stocked with luxury toiletries, plush bathrobes, and towels as soft as clouds. Adjacent to the bedroom, there's a private study or library, furnished with handcrafted wooden desks and shelves filled with rare and first-edition books.

The suite also includes a formal dining room, where a crystal chandelier hangs above a table that seats eight, perfect for private dinners served by a personal butler. Additional amenities include a fully stocked bar with premium spirits, a private gym with state-of-the-art equipment, and a spacious walk-in closet with personalized wardrobe

services.

Azief uses his Divine Sense and he could sense all of this. This is not an office. This is a retreat

place.

"He sure lives his life with lack of worries. From the outside it looks like a shabby tower with a small room. Like a lighthouse where the lighthouse keeper would spend his time looking at the stormy seas. But with this kind of configuration, he is probably just lazing around in here when he is not doing any work"

Azief thought to himself. He waited a while and he walk inside the area. And then the door was opened from the outside

"hah. The trouble did not stop coming. Sasha could not just lay down and Wang Jian is too stubborn. These two would be the death of me" that is the words that is coming out of the mouth of this person that Azief has been waiting for

It is a middle age man of Caucasian descent. Six feet four, chubby round face, white pale skin,

and a big belly.

Who is this person who have his own personal tower, a room with space formation, living a

life like a king?

This is the suite of Head Keeper of the Palace, Lukas. Lukas goes into his office and he seems

to be humming. It seems that the fact that there is three armies putting up a tent just a few

miles outside the capital did not make him nervous at all.

Azief then make himself known

"You sure have a good life Lukas"

"Who?" Lukas who is holding a book and was about to open the book and read it was so

startled that he drop the book onto the study table. But then he look behind him and it takes him a few moment before he suddenly realizes who he is looking at.

He quickly fall down to one knee, bow his head and almost shouted the words of loyalty but as

he shouted, there is no sound coming out from his throat

He became scared "Don't yell. Do you want the entire floor to know I am here?" Lukas nodded

And Azief waves his hand and Lukas feel that his voice come back.

"Rise up"

Lukas got up and then quickly goes to Azief

"My lord. You have finally returned. Should I inform Sasha?"

no, there is no need" Hearing this Lukas frowned. He did not understand the thinking of his

11

lord.

Lukas is the few people that knows the Death Monarch on the throne is just a clone. But he did

not know that it is a clone that only listen to Sasha. He only knows about it a year later. And

that is also because Wang Jian told him.

He did not disrespect Sasha because he knows that Death Monarch must have trusted her if he

left her with his clone.

But he did not also become entirely dependent on her.
