Chapter 61: 'Slip'

The deep, resonant voice echoed through the opulent golden throne room, causing the very air to vibrate with authority. "It's been a while, Astrum." The room, with its glittering golden chandeliers, plush golden carpets, and silk-white curtains, seemed to shimmer in response, radiating an aura of serenity and power. This was the palace of Elyria, the seat of the mighty King Theoros, who ruled over the gods, goddesses, guardians, and titans with wisdom and strength.

Devon's voice was laced with respect as he replied, "The pleasure is all mine, Uncle." With a graceful bow, he acknowledged the king's supremacy, his companions, Luis and Cecil, following suit with even deeper bows. King Theoros sat upon his throne, exuding an aura of majesty, his presence commanding reverence. He was the one being Devon willingly bowed to.
