Chapter 208 208-Grand Entrance.
Azrail, within the week, having discussed with his family, Nayan, and even Adria, has already concluded some powerful plans that will shake the entire realm in days to come, and his name wouldn't just fill the tongues of this continent but all the continents spread around, even behind that, he has even made some hidden plans that only he knows.
'Can't have everyone knowing everything.'
Musing at this thought, Azrai stepped into the courtyard with his family. His eyes came upon the chariot to take them away. The chariot, a marvel of futuristic design, stood sleek and imposing in the courtyard, ready to transport Azrail and his companions to the grand Imperial ball. As Azrail approached, the entrance expanded, revealing a spacious interior capable of accommodating up to fifty passengers with ease. The doors slid open smoothly, emitting a soft hum as they revealed the luxurious interior.
Inside, the chariot boasted an extravagant blend of comfort and cutting-edge technology. The walls were adorned with holographic displays. Plush, reclining seats lined the sides, each equipped with personal holo screens and built-in cultivation chambers for relaxation during the journey.
The ceiling of the chariot displayed a breathtaking simulation of the starry night sky. Ambient lighting, adjustable to match the passengers' preferences, bathed the interior in a warm, celestial glow. Advanced cultivation arrays were seamlessly integrated into the architecture, providing a harmonious environment for practitioners to refine their skills.
The chariot featured cutting-edge propulsion systems, its movement almost imperceptible as it glided smoothly through the air. Anti-gravitational technology allowed for a silent and vibration-free journey, ensuring the comfort of the passengers. The exterior surface shimmered with a protective energy shield, a testament to the advanced defensive mechanisms incorporated into its design.
As the chariot prepared for departure, a soft hum emanated from its core, and the holographic control panel lit up with a gentle glow.
Its design and creation were enough to get people from the second heaven to take a look, thus all of his family consisting of Valencia, Yunm Xuanyin, and Raena got onto it, the space being more than enough.
The insides have the space to fit at least 40 to 50 people, with some extra doors being present here and there that can connect to different rooms.
"This is nice..."
Raena spoke, sitting in the gold-plated seating with Valencia while Azrai, his mother, and sister took seats beside him facing Raena and Valencia, the two of them sitting together.
"Where did you get this from, boy?"
Raena asked, not really that much interested yet still trying to get to know Azrail more.
"Well, let's just say I got this by swindling two Empires and having Nayan make some touchings to it."
Azrail replied with a smile, the chariot not even needing a rider; it already being centrally connected to him. Thus, with a hum, the chariot came online, its presence filling the courtyard as it silently started to float upwards, not even a bit of disturbance hitting them sitting in the room. And as this happened, a holographic display of the outside world was shown to the one interested.
"Mother, if you want anything you can just speak it."
Azrail spoke.
"Oh? Then I could like a mocktail."
Yun spoke, and just as she did, a silent voice spoke out.
[Order accepted.]
Thus, within seconds, a mocktail was made and appeared floating in front of Azrail's mother who took it and started to take small sips of it, a self-deprecating smile filling her face as she spoke.
"It's only after all this that I am starting to understand why all the ones above look at us like we are some village people."
Azrail didn't reject the words as Raena spoke.
"Get me a drink with a strong taste."
And just like before, the same thing happened for Raena, a drink being ready for her, and Azrail just shook his head at her action as he spoke. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Just don't get too drunk."
"No promises."
Raena replied back and to which all Azrail could do was look at Valencia who assured him that things would be fine. Thus, under the setting sun of the evening, the chariot floating deep into the sky approached towards the Imperial Palace. Normally it's not possible to fly closely to the palace at all as it has its own defensive arrays and formations.
But just for the ball, it's down and accepting, though if you land and say if you have no invitations then it's just plain death from there. Thus within the relaxing atmosphere, the chariot kept moving, its speed matching all the huge airships floating towards the Imperial palace, and the funny thing being that even within all that, it stood out like a sore thumb.
This journey didn't take long, and within 15 minutes, the chariot started to settle down, its presence screaming that it's important as it started to land softly towards the ground being shown by one of the cultivators pointing to the loading area, the man in question being of the cultivation Core forming realm, such level of use only being seen within the Imperial palace.
Thus, with the man's guidance, the chariot landed softly, no sound or shaking being taken place as it started to settle down, and within it, Azrail started to face the ones around him, thankfully Raena was not drunk as he asked with a smile.
"Ready?"
No reply was given to him but all the nods he got were more than enough as they walked towards the door, it opening up with a hum as Azrail's mother took the lead, taking the first step outside, her back straight and her posture screaming grace and elegance. Azrail and Xuanyin took the lead while Valencia and Raena followed.
The moment they stepped out, the eyes of the man having led their arrival opened wide, he taking big gulps as he looked between Yun and Raena, he even momentarily fell into a daze when he gazed upon Valencia, but Valencia kept her charm under control, such that he easily broke himself away from it.
"I Great guests Yun and rest, welcome."
He spoke in a calm voice, at least the man in trying to. His eyes at times peek at Azrail and then going into a daze, but the man seems to have some willpower as he quickly keeps getting himself back as he speaks.
"We have someone else prepared to accept you inside."
Just as he finished speaking, someone else landed right beside the man, the person in question being a woman with a maid dress, one professional fully wrapping around her as she spoke with a bow.
"It's an honor to have you all here, I am one of the 5 head maids here, Meng Yao, and I wish to guide our important guests from here onwards."
"It would be our pleasure."
Yun replied with a smile. Thus, with one final nod, the maid Meng Yao started to guide them, the group quickly catching behind her.
'Smart play here...'
Azrail mused, the woman in front of him being at the Earth Core realm, something one can't reach without talent and a great bloodline genetics. The mention of her handmaid status shows how important Azrail's company is to them. While using a woman to cushion the tension if there is any, plus it's better being a woman since all around Azrail are beauties, and men sometimes no matter how smart or controlling can lose their intelligence and just think with their dick.
Smiling a bit, Azrail started to walk with a calm tone, Valencia being beside him as her fingers intertwined with his, his eyes meeting hers for a moment, yet no words needed to be spoken between them. Hundreds of eyes soon focused on their entourage, the need of the headmaid showing their importance and their whole presence screaming beauty and power.
Not to mention that by now the ones here in the landing bay already know and have byhearted the image of Yun, at least the ones available to not mess up in the future, hence a lot of eyes, people from different parts of the Empire, all of the great status stopped as they gazed at him and his family.
And within this, Azrail quickly sensed a malicious gaze focusing on him, his soul and his senses being able to easily detect itt as he discreetly gazed at a man standing within a humongous air traveler, the man being handsome, looking to be in his 30s, yet his eyes being hidden with certain ill intent.
Bold words of Min being written in the air traveler and it didn't take a genius to understand where the dislike was coming from.
'Guess this won't be too boring.'
Azrail mused, his hand tightening around Valencia's while slowly placating his little jealous sister.
