Chapter 319: Murals

They both glanced expectantly around the room, but everyone else seemed content remaining seated, lost in their own quiet thoughts.

With a shrug, Elias motioned casually toward the door, and Felira followed behind him, laughing lightly as they exited the room together.

Shortly after, Kale rose from his seat with a calm, steady demeanor. He adjusted the sleeves of his robes briefly. "I’ll head back to my room to meditate and train for a while," he said.

Orion nodded slightly in acknowledgment, respecting Kale’s discipline and focus.

The others similarly gave Kale approving looks, silently wishing him productive training as he quietly slipped out of the chamber, leaving just Orion, Arya, Emilia, Sylvia, and Nyss in the comfortable, warmly lit room.

Arya’s violet eyes sparkled gently with amusement as she suddenly sprang energetically to her feet, breaking the quiet yet again. "Oh, how about we three girls go out too?" She directed her warm, inviting gaze toward Emilia and Sylvia. "I heard some locals earlier mentioning street stalls with delicious local dishes. Let’s go try them out!"

Emilia softly laughed, standing gracefully and adjusting her robe elegantly. "That does sound intriguing. Count me in," she agreed warmly.

Sylvia, however, hesitated slightly, seeming unsure at first. After a brief pause and thoughtful consideration, she eventually nodded her head, her serene face showing faint interest. "Very well, I’ll accompany you two."

As the trio began moving toward the door, Orion raised a curious eyebrow, glancing questioningly toward Arya. "Why didn’t you three join Elias and Felira earlier if you wanted to explore?"

Arya paused briefly at the doorway, turning around with a playful giggle. Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she responded simply, "Just because."

Without further explanation, she quickly slipped through the door, Emilia smiling warmly as she followed, and Sylvia calmly trailing behind the two with a faintly bemused expression.

Orion shook his head lightly, a gentle smile crossing his face as he watched them leave. Now, left alone in the room with Nyss, the atmosphere quieted considerably. He glanced toward her thoughtfully, noticing her calm gaze fixed upon him.

After a few moments of silence, Orion asked gently, "What about you, Nyss? You’re not going anywhere?"

Nyss tilted her head slightly, her calm eyes never leaving his face as she quietly returned the question, "What about you? Is there nowhere you wish to go?"

Orion leaned back in his chair thoughtfully, his gaze drifting once more to the window as he replied slowly, "Yes, there is. Duke Varian mentioned the murals at their ancestral grounds. He said they depict something quite intriguing and invited me to take a look whenever I wished. I’m quite curious."

Nyss considered his words briefly before nodding decisively, her calm expression carrying a hint of interest. "Then I’ll accompany you," she responded simply, her voice soft yet firm.

Orion softly chuckled hearing her words. He quietly stood up from his chair, adjusting the folds of his robes as he motioned politely toward the door. "Alright, let’s go together then."

Nyss smoothly rose to her feet as well. The two quietly stepped out into the gently illuminated corridor, their footsteps softly echoing along the polished wooden floors.

Orion and Nyss quietly navigated through the softly illuminated corridors of Duke Kaelen’s mansion.

The warm glow of flaming lanterns hung from the walls, casting gentle, amber-hued shadows across polished marble floors.

Approaching the rear section of the mansion, they soon encountered a tightly guarded hall, sealed behind imposing double doors carved from dark, ancient oak, and reinforced with intricate metallic runes.

The guards standing vigil at the doors tensed momentarily as the two approached, their hands instinctively tightening around their weapons.

However, as their gazes settled on Orion’s distinctive form, the sword strapped at his waist, and the calm yet intimidating aura radiating from both him and Nyss, the guards immediately stepped aside, bowing respectfully in quiet acknowledgment of their special status as honored guests.
