290 Maria's Precarious State

Two days later, Damien got an invitation from the crown prince Arthur in the form of a regal yet simple-looking letter.

He actually was planning to visit the emperor anyway and had already sent a request for an audience days ago.

Coincidentally, the emperor had accepted his request on the same day he got his invitation. Damien already applied for a leave today in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation. He was planning how to handle his talk with the emperor.

He also was researching ways to cure the ailment of Aurthur's mother since he felt that pills wouldn't be helpful for the initial treatment.

Soon enough, with Valentina in his soul space, he made his way towards the imperial palace. 

The Xeton Imperial Palace impressively took up more than 100 million meter sq. area, and the main building of the palace was so tall as a tower that it seemed to pierce the skies.
