Capítulo 767: Coronation (1)

(Early next morning, StrongHaven City)

As Leo arrived at the Western Gate of StrongHaven City alongside Dumpy, the sight that unfolded before him was something he could never have anticipated in a million years.

Leo had always assumed that "welcomed with a red carpet" was just a metaphor—a throwaway phrase meant to convey respect and grandeur.

So, when he had texted ChaosBringer a day ago, informing him that he expected to be welcomed with a red carpet, he had spoken figuratively. However, it seemed ChaosBringer had taken it quite literally.

Stretching out from the massive, splintered gates of StrongHaven City and running straight into the heart of the fortress was an actual velvety red carpet. Its deep crimson hue was pristine, unmarred by dust or blood, making it seem almost absurdly out of place amidst the war-torn ruins surrounding it.
