The grand castle hall regained its tranquility, like the most splendid ball, which ultimately will come to an end. No matter how intense the banquet, it inevitably ends with guests departing.
The dragons dispersed, each returning to their nests, the ministers scattered, each going home.
Even the busy serving maids vanished without a trace. In the vast King's Castle, Karon alone sat on the throne, lost in thought.
During their long lives, most people spend a large portion of their time in solitude, and Karon has long been accustomed to this state.
It's not just a habit as a Giant Dragon; having spent an eternity alone in the desolate Spiritual Realm, Karon's heart and will have been honed harder than his steel-forged body.
He enjoys both the bustle and noise, as well as the freedom of solitude.
This solitude is a rare chance for relaxation and contemplation for the Monarch bearing the entire Dragon Empire.
