Supremacy Games

Without questions asked, Candace began searching for the treasury...It wasn't easy in the slightest since the Sun Palace was just too vast with thousands of floors and countless rooms.

It was a city on its own.

Still, Candace followed the common sense that the royal treasury should be hidden either at the very bottom of the palace or the top, where it was inaccessible for everyone.

Just because the palace was public, it didn't mean that everyone could enter any room within it. There were still some boundaries and privacies to be respected.

Candace started from the very top of the palace and worked her way below.

'Wait, this must be the throne chamber.' Felix stopped her after arriving at a spacious hall that had a metallic golden chair at very end of it.

If it wasn't for the throne, it would have been diffuclt to figure it out due to all the forgery equipment and materials laying all over the place.

Thud!!

Before Felix could scan the chamber any further, the giant amber gate was pushed wide open by a furious looking dwarf.

Based on his crown, grayed out thick beard, and contrasting bulking muscles, he was clearly non-other than Emperor Lokhil!

He was carrying a giant silver hammer on his shoulder and wearing leathery boots.

"Leave me the hell alone already. I have been handling business for over four hours straight!" Emperor Lokhil threatened as he patted his hammer, "Don't make me use this on you!"

Two dwarves entered behind him with irritated looks while having tens of holograms opened in front of them.

"Damn you Lokhil, it's not like we want to keep pestering you with this."

"Just sign the damn papers already, so we can get on with our forgery!"

They were treating each other so informally, Felix felt like he was watching a fake royal play.

For subordinates to address the emperor by his first name and even curse him, this really only happen in the Dwarven empire.

It was quite normal since those two subordinates must have been either part of his family or close to his age.

Dwarves might not respect social class status between them, but they did respect seniority.

"Well, I am not reading them!" Emperor Lokhil pulled the holographic papers in his direction and started signing them one by one without even bothering to read the title.

"Here you go, now scram!" The moment he finished, he kicked them out of the throne chamber, and closed the gate behind him, not bothering that they were cursing him out loud.
