My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

Chapter 177- Royalty In Gold (Part 2)

'What in the luxurious hotel is this place? I feel like I entered some kind of medieval castle.' Arthur thought to himself. He was truly flabbergasted by the sheer difference in design between the rest of the floors and this particular floor. It was like heaven and earth.

The guards didn't seem bothered at all as they moved toward the door on the other side and then dispersed around it professionally, clearly showing that they were trained to do that.

Their leader stopped in front of the door and then turned to face Arthur and Isla. "He is waiting inside." He said in a quiet tone as if he didn't want to bother whoever was in that room.

The two nodded their heads and opened the door before walking inside. Immediately, they found themselves inside what seemed to be a massive, luxurious suit in a renowned hotel.

The place was at least five times the size of the room they had just been in. The walls were designed with beautiful golden colors and aesthetic decorations of all kinds. A massive glass wall opened at the massive arena from the other side, overlooking all of it with clear visibility.

A large, cinema-like stall enough for almost 50 people. All chairs are created out of the finest leather there is and filled with soft cushions for the best seating experience. To the side, there was a bar with a bartender standing behind it, wiping cups silently. Nearby was a beautiful lounge

The entire place looked like it was some kind of VIP area for the richest people to watch matches.

'And here I thought the room we were given was luxurious... We were sitting in a dumpster.' Arthur mused as he stared around silently, admiring the entire room. He felt like he was intruding on a place where he didn't clearly belong.

This level of wealth isn't something he's supposed to be exposed to at all. Yet, here he is, standing in that place. Isla, on the other hand, didn't seem bothered at all. This wasn't the first time she had seen a very luxurious place before nor was it going to be the last.

But, she had to admit that this place had a completely different vibe from anywhere else. A sense of eeriness filled her heart as she examined the room even more. The feeling was very subtle, but it left a very weird taste in Isla's mouth.

"Please take a seat."

*Swish*

'What?!'

Suddenly, out of nowhere, they heard a voice speak right next to their ears. Arthur and Isla's eyes widened as they quickly jumped forward, creating distance from whatever just appeared behind them.

Their senses didn't catch the person approaching them at all. He simply appeared out of thin air.

'...' Arthur looked silently at the man, his heart beating faster than usual. Just one single sentence was more than enough to send a chill down his spine.

'The fifth prince? So there are at least 4 princes above him. Interesting.'

"I am Arthur."

"Darkmoon," Isla replied.

"Yes, I do know of your names. I must say I am truly excited we are finally sitting around the same table. This is an honor for me to be the first prince to welcome you to our capital." The man said as he crossed his legs casually, showing his royal aura even more.

"Please, Your Highness, we are the honored ones to meet you," Isla replied calmly. "When we heard of your invitation, we were very much excited to meet you. This is a very huge opportunity for us after all."

Isla's words were chosen very carefully, making sure each one carried the meaning she wanted to convey. All of this was a part of the plan and she was executing it perfectly.

"Please, you gifted people are of far more importance than I am. After all, you are divinely chosen to grace our land. Your powers and endless potential are truly a treasure that must be preserved no matter what."

Watching the back and forth between Isla and Vincent, Arthur was completely lost. 'I feel like the two of them are playing 5D chess while I'm stuck with checkers.'

He could see that behind all that courtesy and flowery talks, there was a hidden conversation going on that he simply had no way of partaking. They were clearly trying to take control over the conversation and lead it in their way. A war of words hidden behind compliments.

"So, tell me more about your journey from the south. It must've been quite arduous." He said.

"Yes, it was. We have been through a lot. But, with our teamwork, we made it."

"Excuse my intrusion but, where are the other three people?"

"They unfortunately couldn't attend for some important reasons. I hope you will excuse them." Isla shook her head.

"There is no problem. Uhm, before we continue, what would you like to drink? We have everything." The prince asked.

Isla and Arthur looked at each other for a moment before they replied at the same time. "Water."
