Bab 2025: Surreality

When Rui woke up, he was unable to recall.

He was unable to recall where he was.

What he was doing.

How he had arrived.

For a moment, he simply blanked out, staring at the white ceiling that greeted him the moment he woke up.

And then it all came back in a flood.

He had returned to the Kandrian Empire.

He had successfully returned home with the Divine Doctor and had delivered him before the slumbering Emperor of Harmony.

He had completed his long-awaited goal.

For a moment, he felt like he was still sleeping.

Dreaming.

It was surreal.

Far too surreal.

Yet, it soon settled once he became more aware.

His attention turned to the place he was in.

An extravagant and ostentatious bedroom clad with precious metals and stones that could be nowhere else except in the Royal Palace.

Several maids and butlers bowed to him the moment he sat in his bed.
