Dozens of custom-made golden stretched Bentleys were parked in front of Louis's castle.
Under the sunlight, they were almost blindingly bright.
Claudia Ross, under the envious gaze of many of Louis's wives, got into the first Bentley inlaid with diamonds, the same one Louis sat in.
The spacious backseat had them sitting like this, one on each side, separated by at least a meter.
Louis opened the car's refrigerator, took out a bottle of champagne, and poured half a glass for Claudia Ross.
In the hot weather, there might be nothing more delightful than drinking chilled champagne.
But Claudia Ross didn't take it.
She swallowed her saliva and turned her head to look outside the car.
It was only after leaving the castle that Claudia Ross realized the city was surrounded by desert; from the balcony of her chamber, she saw the suburbs, hence the houses were quite ancient and low, while on the other side of the castle was a bustling metropolis.
