章 61: Meeting Drevolan

I was tempted to challenge the question but decided against it given my unfamiliarity with the protocol and unfavorable odds. "Viktor Dravos of Vorgan House, carrying out a task for Lord Drevolan D'Lira." I hoped this would silence him.

And it did. "Up the stairs, straight to the end, last door on the left. Knock and enter."

I nodded, resisting the urge to bow excessively.

"What's spooking you, Chief?"

"Quiet, Opal," I shot back.

The stairs were uncomfortably steep for my liking, making it a task to ascend nonchalantly, especially under the watchful gaze of the two Dragonlords I felt on my back. I managed as best as I could. My footsteps reverberated around me, the staircase seemingly stretching on forever. Once I finally reached the top, I navigated a corridor that was longer than the building that accommodated my entire team. I bypassed a grand door at the end and stopped at a door to my left, as instructed. With a single knock, I entered.
