Bab 709: The Astral Palace (10)

As Arpious approached the throne, a subtle resonance seemed to echo through the chamber. The creatures, once in retreat, appeared in the periphery, their forms manifesting as a spectral audience. Lady Quintara, her gaze fixed on Arpious, spoke of a legacy that transcended generations and a role that surpassed mere royalty.

With a regal poise, Arpious seated herself upon the obsidian throne. The cavern responded with a faint tremor as if acknowledging the return of a rightful heir. The monsters, in a display of unity, knelt once more, their acknowledgment of Arpious's authority reverberating through the chamber.

The air within the cavern, charged with ancient magic, held a sense of resolution. Lady Quintara, standing alongside the trio, spoke words of recognition. "Princess of Monsters, your lineage carries the burden of both shadow and sovereignty. The monsters of the Abyssal Palace have found their rightful leader in you."
