While he looked at everything around him in awe, Empress Idral departed from the teleportation port, gliding towards the center of the floating island.
Shane noticed this and walked towards her with brisk steps.
He stopped when he was only a step behind when she suddenly added in a slightly frustrated tone,
"Just stay next to me. Knowing that someone walks behind me is burdensome!"
Following her words, he fell into steps beside her and continued to inspect his surroundings intently.
Only now did Shane notice that the elementals around them quickly descended from the air before bowing deeply to the Empress. Her female humanoid shape flickered lightly, showing that she was annoyed.
'Why does she hate being revered that much?' Shane asked himself, but he decided to keep quiet instead of poking his nose in her private business by asking the same. He imagined how it would feel if humans were to revere him like the Elus-race revered the Empress.
