Chapter 6 - Main Palace Halls
Chapter 6 - Main Palace Halls
Stepping through the glorious halls of his Royal Family Main palace, Cain was utterly amazed. Even though he was expecting something so grand from his new Royal Family, everything still surpassed his expectations.
Everything looked like it was forged by Godly beings, from the walls to the floors and even the ceilings.
There wasn't any hint of imperfection or blemish anywhere in their Palace.
Because they are one of the most powerful God Families, Cain knows this lineage had to exist for at least several thousands of years at the bare minimum. Kali did confirm that their Grandfather has been around for at least thousands of years because of his Goldy cultivation level.
And somehow, throughout their incredibly long history, everything was kept up to a godly standard.
Furthermore, not only was their Palace glorious looking, the people roaming about the halls were of a similar beautiful standard.
Since every single one of the Palace halls is extensively wide, being able to fit hundreds of people at the same time, Cain naturally saw many of his other Royal Family members.
And there wasn't a single person who didn't hold a beautiful quality within them. Everyone wore a similar set of silky robes that had unique crafted Dragon symbols on them.
If any one of these people were to appear in his previous world, their looks alone would cause a cascade of chaos.
When he and Kali passed by anyone, they all treated them with proper respect and did not get in their way. Although, for some people, Cain could tell there wasn't genuine respect within their eyes.
Cain didn't pay much attention to those people. He was simply grateful he didn't have to deal with any troublesome interruptions because people would think they're better than him and his sister.
And as Kali led the way to the main hall, she mainly had her attention set squared on Cain. She was taking every notice of his reactions, seeing if this little walk would jog his memory.
The farther she led, the more intrigued she found herself with Cain's reaction.
At first, he had a look of pure shock and bewilderment. But after only a minute of walking, his expression turned calmer.
This calming expression reminded Kali of just how subtly different her brother is after his awakening.
She could safely say she has a one hundred percent grasp over Cain's previous personality. And while they shared a few similarities, this version of Cain just seemed more determined. He never once complained about their situation and seemed vehemently eager to learn everything he can.
In all honesty, Kali saw this change for the better. With a soft smile curving up her lips, she suddenly asked Cain,
"So? More of your memories coming back? Or do you need me to explain things as we go? And you don't have to worry about anyone else listening in on us. Nobody really cares what we talk about between ourselves, and nobody would dare to say anything if they do listen in on us. Our status is basically the highest here."
"Hmmm….arlight then. I'll say it's like bits and pieces. I'm more than happy to hear more of your explanation, Kali." Cain earnestly said.
Even though this was a lot to take in, Cain could honestly say having his sweet, caring sister explain it to him makes it easy to understand.
Still, since they were discussing his lost memories out in the open, Cain couldn't help but wonder if at least one person would pay attention.
But true to Kali's words, people mainly gave the sibling duo a wide berth, uncaring to their conversation.
And with his agreement, Kali gave a beaming smile and launched into an even more conscience explanation.
The main thing she explained was how the Palace they're currently in is the Main Palace of their Royal Family. This is where the divinely talented of their younger generations and direct Emperor's Royal descendant resides.
Cain found this a bit interesting as there was a difference between the divinely talented and direct Emperor descendant.
Apparently, the divinely talented all came from parents who had a far weaker variation of their Dragon God bloodline. And the direct Emperor's Royal descendants are, of course, children of either the current Dragon God Emperor or previous Ancient Dragon God Emperors.
Out of the two, far more divinely talented youths roamed the halls than the direct Emperor's Royal descendent.
In fact, Kali told him they were the only two Emperor's Royal descendent roaming the halls right now. The other Royal children were all preoccupied with their own business.
Also roaming the Main Palace halls were high-ranking Dragon Elders and the occasional Supreme Dragon Elders.
After learning about this, Cain only had one question. "Basically, nobody would dare to run amok here. Though, this makes me wonder….just how big is our main Palace? From what I'm seeing, there's quite a lot of us."
"Hehe~. Oh brother…." Kali started to sweetly giggle. She slightly shook her head while spouting a wry smile.
"Despite living here all of my life, I barely know the full extent of our Palace. It's honestly too big! I only mapped out the areas important to us. Plus, there's a lot of areas that are simply off-limits to us."
"I see….thankfully, I have you as my caring and patient guide. If not, I would probably end up lost on my own." Cain honesty spoke.
And he wasn't kidding at all. Thinking back on it, he realized how bad things could've ended up if he was all alone.
Who knows? He probably would've ended up in an off-limits area and gotten into more trouble than he needs. Really, it was like his sweet sister was his God gift to this new world.
"Fufu~. It's only natural as the oldest between us." Kali chuckles while playfully slapping Cain on the shoulders.
With how swimmingly they were getting along, it indeed was like nothing had changed between them.
Eventually, after a couple more minutes of walking, when Cain and Kali turned around one corner, they spotted someone making a direct line towards this.
As expected, it was another handsome young man.
But, this young man held a more distinct look compared to the others roaming the halls. He exuded an eye-catching charm within his face that would stand among any sea of crowds.
At the center of his forehead, there was a black wing tattoo marking neatly inscribed there. The black wing tattoo added a layer of a mysterious grace to this young man, separating him from the typical batch of their younger generation.
Furthermore, just like with them, everyone gave this young man a wide berth and looked at him with the utmost respect.
'So another Emperor's Royal descendent.' Cain mused to himself while spouting an indifferent expression.
Looking over to Kali, Cain noticed she was only quirking her eyebrows. Compared to her reaction with Huang Lei, this is much tamer.
"Jie? What could you possibly want with us?"
Kali calmly asked. Just like with Huang Lei, she simply had no tone of respect or reverence towards their direct older siblings.
It wasn't that she was prideful or even disliked their other siblings.
She simply found there wasn't much they had in common. And none of their other siblings made any valiant attempt to get close to her or Cain. At the very least, she could tolerate some a lot more than others.
"Just here to relay a message." A smooth yet indifferent tone flowed out of Huang Jie as he briefly stopped in front of Cain and Kali.
He wasn't even surprised by Cain's awakening, only sparring a passing indifferent glance at both of them as he told them,
"The Emperor told me you can simply go to the meeting hall to entertain Qiu Lan. No need to meet with their Sect Master. And since you're naturally attached to him, of course, you're allowed to come to, Kali."
And without missing a beat, Huang Jie resumed walking, never once looking back at either Cain or Kali.
Throughout this entire time, both Kali and Cain were unbothered by Huang Jie's blatant disregard for them.
Kali actually had a growing smile on her face as she stewed on his words. "Ah, this just makes things smoother for us. Personally, I dislike having to go to, let's say, high-class stuffy meetings."
While she wasn't outright stating it, Cain could quickly infer who Kali's referring to.
Talking subtly, Cain asked, "Really now? Is it difficult to deal with the people there?"
"Well….I wouldn't precisely say difficult. But it's most certainly weird. You would just need to see it to believe it. But, in any case, let's get going."
Taking a new course of direction, Kali proceeded to lead Cain towards their meeting hall.
….
After a few more minutes of walking, Cain and Kali had eventually reached the meeting hall. Like all other places in the Main Palace, it was luxuriously designed with various Draconic paintings.
Although, one intriguing aspect instantly caught Cain's attention.
This hall actually had one large electronic device that appeared to be a T.V. Difference was, this device looked highly futuristic, even better than what he saw out of futuristic sci-fi movies and similar to the one in his room.
However, Cain didn't have time to be distracted by the room's design. Not when a charming woman's voice loudly spoke out to him and Kali.
"Huang Cain. Huang Kali. We meet again."
Turning their attention to the source of this voice, Cain and Kali witnessed a beautiful young maiden walking up to them.
Because it was quite the walk to get here, Cain already saw various beautiful women roaming their Palace hall.
By this point, he was quickly becoming desensitized towards appearances. However, this young maiden certainly had a grace that was a notch above what he saw previously.
She was bewitchingly curvaceous, having a near-ideal body figure that can tempt the souls of many powerful men. Her beautifully long blue hair swayed down towards her waist like crystal clear water.
Matching her ocean blue hair were azure-colored eyes that carried a sharp and dangerous aura, showcasing an unfathomable pride deep within her. She wore a silky blue dress that flowed down to her ankles and perfectly highlighted her bountiful assets.
This girl was a genuine high standard of a proud, sharp-looking beauty.
And as she approached them, Cain was slightly taken aback more by her expression than beauty.
Contrary to what he expected, this girl's expression wasn't arrogant or indifferent. Instead, she simply had a calm face, as if there wasn't anything in this world that could rile her up.
Before Cain could say anything, he felt Kali slightly nudge his side.. Then, looking over to her, he saw a bemused smile crossing her face.
