Serafina led the Duke through the garden, then proceeded to tour the palace's Meditation Room, a circular room carved entirely from a natural block of aquamarine, the walls adorned with pure Water Element Rules.
The library's dome soared over ten meters high, its shelves neatly stacked with thousands of shell tomes and seaweed scrolls, along with a banquet hall specifically designed for hosting external guests.
The banquet hall's long table was polished from a single thousand-year-old coral, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting the glow of thousands of Luminous Pearls from the dome.
Every corner was opulent beyond imagination, yet Serafina introduced it all with a nonchalant casualness.
Upon exiting the banquet hall, Serafina's pace suddenly slowed.
She remained silent for a while, her hand gently tightening around the Duke's arm, then she stopped at a corner of the Coral Corridor, turned around, and looked up at the Duke.
