A few minutes later.
Inside the palace, entirely golden and incredibly luxurious, Richard sat on a chair that seemed forged from gold but was as soft as skin. In front of him was a rectangular table, with two diamond-encrusted silver cups placed on the tabletop, filled with a semi-transparent liquid that looked like some plant's juice, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.
Richard surveyed his surroundings and could see that the palace he was in was even larger than it appeared from outside, with twenty-four giant pillars standing around, each having a diameter of over five meters and a length of nearly a hundred meters, supporting a dome at the top.
On the dome was a beautifully painted mural depicting numerous Angels paying homage to a figure wrapped in light. Without considering its artistic value, the sheer size, powerful style, and realistic color palette were still awe-inspiring, making people feel as if they were there.
