While the Salian King was fuming in anger, Alex led his friends towards the Acasta palace, it was the place where the elders resided, The palace got its name from the most ancient rock found, the Acasta Gneiss, and the whole palace was built of these rocks. The palace was situated near a picturesque place, with a range of hills and a river flowing nearby, The greenery around the palace enticed the sight of any person, giving them a peaceful mind just with one glance.
" This is the residence of our clan elders, all of them are the disciples of our master Rotrigues. When I messed up the whole betrothal thing with the dark clan, elders chided me and even thought of banishing me from the clan. But due to the respect they held for my mother, I was excused. Still, I'm not welcomed here from that day onwards."
Just as Alex was reminiscing the past to his friends, they were stopped by the palace guard.
