Lucian observed several projections reflected on the semi-transparent walls inside the Palace of the King's highest tower. His facial expression remained blank, but his eyes gleamed with such intensity, suggesting his deep concentration while watching all the projections.
The projections showed different scenes around the Palace of the King, with several showing the central hall where the portals to the temporary residences were.
Initially, each residence included a hidden surveillance array. However, the surveillance formula could not adjust to the formation because of the complexity of imprinting the portals with specific magic signatures to grant them access to the residence and the transportation array in the central hall. In the end, Lucian removed that formula and instead placed several surveillance arrays in the central hall and other accessible areas in the palace.
