Chapter 301: Heaven
At the deepest depths beneath the imperial palace lay the trial grounds-a sacred place shrouded in mystery and power.
The grand entrance to the trial loomed like the mouth of a colossal cave, golden light spilling out in flickering bursts, illuminating the surrounding walls with a divine radiance.
It was a constant beacon, a sign that someone was within, their trial ongoing.
For the past four days, the golden light had not waned.
Two figures stood vigil outside, their presence steady but marked by contrasting emotions.
The first was Emperor Leopold, his commanding demeanor unwavering despite the circumstances.
Beside him stood Princess Snow, her restless energy betraying the worry etched into her every movement.
"Your Majesty..." Snow's voice broke the silence, tinged with concern.
Leopold turned his head slightly, acknowledging her.
His gaze, as steady as ever, softened just a fraction as he caught the distress on her face.
"How long did it take for you to complete your trial again?"
Snow asked, her voice tight with worry, though she already knew the answer.
The emperor sighed quietly, his composure unshaken but inwardly empathizing with his daughter's turmoil.
He had answered this question several times over the past few days already.
"...Thirty minutes. No, perhaps longer-or shorter. I can't recall the exact time,"
Snow's expression darkened further. His words, repeated as they were, offered no comfort.
She clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white as she stared at the golden light spilling from the entrance.
Trials were unpredictable.
For most, they lasted no more than a few hours, sometimes even mere minutes.
What do you think?
