บท 625: Won't Go Easy On Her Father

The guest palace where Drayce and Seren were led to was a part of the royal palace Seren had never been to in the past, and as she took in the sight of the unfamiliar place—to think she had spent seventeen years without even seeing the entirety of the palace complex where she was raised— she could not help but feel a complicated emotion. 

The chamber initially arranged for them was a luxurious one, suitable for royalty to stay in, and nothing could be faulted—from the decorations catering to the taste of Megaris to the hospitality extended to their personal servants and knights—but as Seren looked at the lavish arrangements more grand than she expected,  she found herself feeling…empty.
