Prince George deactivated the barrier, and Shang entered.

Shang had taken note of Prince George's demeanor, and he had noticed that it didn't seem to fit the context.

Prince George had said that he looked up to Shang, but he had this worried and concerned expression on his face.

It was almost like he feared Shang.

Shang double-checked if Humanity was still active, and it was. So, it couldn't have been that.

But then why would an Initial High Mage, and Jerald's son on top of that, be apprehensive in front of Shang?

'Something isn't right,' Shang thought with furrowed brows.

Nevertheless, Shang continued walking towards Jerald's castle. Agon hadn't taken his castle with him, which meant that Agon's old castle was now Jerald's.

But it didn't look like back then anymore.

Jerald had essentially buried the husk of the exoskeleton beneath ore and stone, creating the image of a more traditional castle.

Shang saw a couple of True Mages walking through the castle. Based on what he was seeing, Shang guessed that these True Mages were something like clerks that organized all the information of the Kingdom.

Shang stepped into the castle and walked towards the throne room. He had already found Jerald with his Spirit Sense.

He had changed.

Jerald wore a long green beard, and he wore an old crown on his head. In a way, he looked exactly like one would expect a King to look.

Regal, majestic, powerful, wise, old.

Shang had difficulty accepting Jerald's new look and aura for a while.

It was so different.

In the past, Jerald had a kind but stalwart aura. He had the aura of a true leader that could unite the people behind a common cause.

In a way, Jerald's aura still felt like that, but there was one stark difference.

Passion.

Jerald, from the past, had this burning passion behind him that motivated everyone around him to fight for his cause. People wanted to follow him because they believed that he could lead everyone into a brighter tomorrow.

Now, there was no more passion in Jerald's aura.

It was like Jerald had accepted his place in life and stopped advancing.

He was content.
