"Are you sure about that sir?" he asked calmly.

Francesco narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean by that Mr Pietro, I remember telling you clearly that I have no time for your time wasters"

Mr. Pietro stepped aside and pointed toward the apparently empty wall.

"Come forward" he said this time his voice suddenly became serious “and tuck your necklace into this space here”

The moment those words left his mouth, Francesco instinctively touched the necklace hanging around his neck.

The necklace was t

    "My duty has never been to command ma'am, it has always been to protect” his eyes reflected unwavering loyalty “I will stand beside you while you continue growing, I will defend you until the day you become the powerful Empress your parents dreamed you would one day become."The sincerity within his words left no room for doubt which caused Azzura's expression to soften."Thank you."She offered a respectful nod before immediately returning her full attention to the holographic blueprint, and once again...The outside world disappeared, minutes quietly slipped into hours as she examined every district while making sure that mothing escaped her observation.As one possibility formed inside her mind, another quickly followed."This section...yes, this side.. it requires reinforcement." And moments later— "No that district is perfectly designed, but is its security sufficient?"Another thought emerged. "And how can these defenses withstand a prolonged siege, should secondary barriers be

    The blueprint hovered silently above the obsidian table, its countless glowing pathways weaving together into what should have been a complete representation of the underground realm. Yet, the longer Azzura studied it, the more unsettled she became.Something was wrong but she could not explain it with certainty, she could not point to a single line or a single corridor and declare that it had been drawn incorrectly.Instead, it was a feeling, but a persistent instinct that refused to leave her mind."The blueprint..." she whispered quietly to herself, her eyes fixed upon the floating hologram. "...as vast as it is, it feels incomplete."She slowly leaned forward, narrowing her eyes as though the answer might reveal itself if only she looked closely enough."It is almost like there is another layer hidden just beyond my reach” this time her breathing became slower as every ounce of her concentration settled upon the glowing structure before her.Without realizing it, she bent lower ov

    Slowly, he opened his eyes once more, Azzura stood several meters ahead, completely captivated by the wonders surrounding her.A faint smile returned to his face once again "for now she is here and needs learning, I should go inside, she will need someone to explain what she is seeing."With measured steps, Alendria crossed the threshold and entered the chamber, the room possessed a quiet majesty unlike any other part of the underground realm…. Every wall had been transformed into a living archive of the Sil Clan's history.Ancient manuscripts rested securely within transparent preservation frames, massive hand-drawn maps stretched across polished stone walls with very detailed architectural sketches, historical records, military formations, engineering calculations, and family chronicles covered nearly every available surface.Each document seemed to whisper stories from generations long gone, the ink though ancient remained remarkably preserved with elegant symbols and carefully wri

    She took another step closer. "Unless..." Azzura continued speaking, her frustration gradually building as one complaint followed another, but unfortunately for her… Alendria had already stopped listening.Without interrupting her verbally, he simply reached forward as his fingers wrapped gently around the bronze handle, with a smooth motion...he pushed the door open.The instant the seal broke—a brilliant flood of light burst from within the chamber, It poured into the corridor like liquid sunlight, swallowing everything before it.Azzura instinctively gasped."Woah..."The single word escaped her lips before she could stop herself because the radiance was so intense that she immediately threw both hands over her face.Her eyes squeezed shut for several moments, she could see nothing but brilliant white and even through her closed eyelids, the light seemed almost alive.But then, slowly...very slowly the brightness softened. Azzura cautiously lowered her hands, she blinked several ti

    Without another word, she drew a slow breath, steadied her heart, and followed Alendria deeper into the mysterious tunnel, unaware that every step forward was bringing her closer to truths that would forever change how she saw her family, her past, and the destiny waiting silently ahead."Alright... let's go."Azzura released a slow breath as she forced herself back to the present. The storm of emotions that had been raging within her moments ago gradually settled, though the questions surrounding her parents still lingered heavily in the back of her mind. She knew this was neither the place nor the time to allow those thoughts to consume her. There would be time to grieve, time to reflect, and time to seek answers. For now, she had to focus on what lay before her.Alendria gave a slight nod, saying nothing more.He turned and resumed walking through the vast underground passage, his footsteps measured and confident, as though every stone beneath his feet was etched into his memory.

    Some depicted mountains and others showed rivers, forests, and ancient cities she had never seen before, the craftsmanship was breathtaking. Whoever designed this place had poured not only immense resources into its construction but also their very soul.Just then—"Wait..."Her sudden voice echoed softly through the corridor, Alendria immediately stopped walking, he turned around and looked at her with mild concern."What's wrong Azzura, are you alright?" Alendria called out, but Azura remained silent for several seconds, her brows knitted together as though trying desperately to solve an impossible puzzle.Finally, she lifted her head."I am fine..."She hesitated."Yes... I am."Then she stared directly into Alendria's eyes."But something doesn't make sense."Alendria raised an eyebrow “what is it?" He asked, curious as to why Azzura said such words in the first place."How did you know about this place?" Her question came out far more seriously than he had expected "I've always k

    “What, how can you say such father you didn't even ask for my consent?” Azzura the only child of Mr. Tommaso and Mrs Gaia of the Sil clan, a small and almost seen to be weak clan screamed out at her father after hearing the news of her already planned marriage with her betrothed Francisco of the Nd

    Rejecting them is not merely dangerous, it is suicidal and no one thinks such idea is the best.“Well I guess you are right my love, Azzura truly is my only daughter and the best I can do is preserve our dignity rather than look like a fool to them….so yes I respect your decision my love” Mr. Tomma

    Tommaso raised an eyebrow slightly “but you see strangely enough…”A faint smile crossed Mr Giovanni’s face as he remembers the change on his son's face whenever he sees Azzura “he remembers your daughter”Tommaso blinked slowly.“Azzura?”“Yes Tom” Mr Giovanni replied as he turned fully towards Mr
