An Extra’s POV

"Sit."

Before the mighty presence that was before him, Adrien Chase had no choice but to obey.

He had been escorted by Dragons to this place—the grand office of a Lord—so the least he could do was obey the simple instructions given to him by the one he came to see.

The one who was thoughtful enough to grant him an audience.

"Huu…" As Adrien sat on the rather comfortable seat, doing his best to observe his surroundings without taking his attention away from the entity before him, he maintained his smile.

The office was splendidly designed—possessing streaks of purple, blue, and black. The carpet was exquisite, and the quality of furniture was unlike anything that could be found in any human or elven settlement.

In fact, it was almost reminiscent of Earth.

The room had an air conditioning Enchanted Item, as well as Enchanted Items for lighting, among other very useful utilities. By all means of comparison, it was not too dissimilar from a modern office.

"So… how are you enjoying the Empire so far?" The man before him asked, his voice deep and his tone smooth.

It almost felt like the clap of thunder, though.

"I just arrived on the Continent, Sir. I haven't had much time for sightseeing or anything of the sort." Adrien rightly responded, bowing his head politely in order to pay as much respect to the figure as possible.

He found that this method usually worked on those in high authority who perceived themselves as greater than those they granted an audience.

Just as expected, his actions eased a bit of the tension in the room.

"Is that so? I understand then…" Adrien was yet to take a proper look at the Lord before him, but he could see his outfit.

He wore a polished black and purple suit—one that spoke of incredible wealth and prestige. Of course, it was enchanted—as was practically every other accessory that the man donned. He had an earring in one ear, a chain, and a few rings, from what Adrien could decipher.

Adrien made sure to observe all of this very subtly.

"I will have to leave very soon, since I have a rather important meeting to attend to. So, raise your head and let's conclude this as quickly as possible."

"Understood."
