The two of us get back down to the first floor where there is a team of Lycans ready for us with packages and paperwork.

"Where

would you like to set up?" Silas asks.

I can't just stay in my room?"

"I have options? I c

"Plenty of places, my lady, one of the other Lycans nods

"Show me the outside. Let me think about it,

"All right." Silas bows and leads the way out

The courtyard is beautiful from down here. The pillars have pretty vines growing around them. There are pretty flowers growing around the stone surroundings and the scent is out of this world. Past the courtyard is a massive stairway that leads into what I'm thinking is a village dedicated to those who work for the King.

"She doesn't have shoes on, someone whispers.

""What?" Silas looks down at my feet.

She was really into plants because silver is really good for them. Helps prevent plant blight I follow Silas up the walkway to see that the system follows along the sides where there is a single shelf that follows up to the platform.
