70 Meeting the Ruler of Kate

In the Capital, Monn and Ace headed east with the King's Guard and went through a fleet of stairs uphill, like a stairway to heaven.

A majestic castle stood tall at the end of the stairway, shimmering in the sunshine among the clouds. The view was mind-blowing, as they felt like they were walking towards heaven, waking up a yearning in their heart.

Gems of different colors adorned the azure-blue rooftop of the castle.

"What a waste." Monn sighed when he saw the gems glistening on the rooftop of the castle.

They arrived at the castle gate soon after.

The King's Guard leading Monn and Ace took out a pass as a verification.

The castle gate slowly opened.

They walked through the courtyard and arrived at the main hall of the royal palace.

An announcement echoed in the hall, "The messenger of the Orthodox Church from St. Servant has arrived."
