Queen of the fortress

after a few minutes of walking through tall storage buildings, they finally they finally came to a wide open space in the middle of the city. there were a few residential buildings around (mostly mansions) and at the centre, a tower stood. the tower was taller than every other building in the city and it had an architectural style that made it unique from the times.

Inumaki led them to the largest and most beautiful mansion of all. and at the entrance, they were stopped.

"do not proceed any further" a voice came from inside and four young men darted out ready for battle. they all had that serious look as if it was their first time having to defend the mansion.

"these guys are definitely noobs" Mina whispered.

"it's quite apparent" Yen whispered back.

taking a deep breath, Inumaki said as calmly as he could "let us in, we have a message for the queen." but the answer was "no"

"we know that you were defeated by that man" one of the young men said pointing at Yen.
