Chapter 39: City Above Heavens [04]
The president handed the ring to Selpe. "Wear it before we enter."Selpe nodded and took the ring, calmly sliding it onto her right hand.
They walked to the gate. It looked far larger than before, almost like comparing one to ten. The president placed his hand on a podium-like screen marked with blue biometric lines, and as he did, it glowed purple.
To their surprise, the gate trembled and shifted, opening a path to the place behind it. A mist of clouds rose and swept past them.he gardens were filled with soft grass, trimmed hedges, and quiet stone paths. Open fields lay beyond, made for princes to train, run, and test their skills.
It was maybe the first time Selpe had seen a castle like this—maybe not—but nothing this perfect should even exist. It felt too ideal, too flawless. For normal people, a place like this would sound like a myth or a made-up lie. In reality, no castle like this should stand.
From the spot where the great white tower rose endlessly into the sky, there was an open slab at its base.
The President looked at Selpe, and his eyes turned bright purple. In the next moment, they found themselves standing on the wide slab from where the tower emerged.
The great door of the tower opened as the President spoke the code that unlocked it. Only the matured princess, the generals, and the Sanctified ever entered this place. Because of that, the authority had set many layers of codes, woven by the Totla himself, to open the door. There were even different kinds of codes. The one the President used was the Sanctified Code. The generals had their own, and the princes had theirs.
They entered.
Quietly defying its outer structure, the inside stretched even farther. It took almost the same amount of space as the area occupied by the entire castle.
