Chapter 488: Cage

Views:

The sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the Platinum Palace. Only a few people were walking slowly in front of the magnificent hall. The sunlight shone through the painted glass and fell on a few people, making their pale faces look colorful.

This was not the first time Lorenzo came to the Platinum Palace, but his eyes were like those of a child who had just entered the place, and his peripheral vision was scanning around randomly.

After going through so much, Old Dunling no longer had any secrets for Lorenzo. Whether it was the mysterious perpetual motion pump or the broken dome, he had personally visited and learned about them, but the Platinum Palace was an exception.

It belongs to the Victorian royal family and is out of the management of the purification agency. It is like a fortress that cuts off everything. It is located in the heart of Old Dunling. If it were not for the knowledge that the queen lives here, it would be so quiet that people would almost forget it.

Lorenzo's arrival disturbed the peace, and under the leadership of Anakin, they stopped in front of a big gate.

Compared with other gates in the Platinum Palace, this gate is simple, without any complicated patterns and designs. It suddenly appears in front of the eyes, blocking the way.

"From now on you will have to move forward on your own."

Anakin stopped outside the door, with no intention of moving forward, and with him also stopped the royal guards not far away.

"What's behind the door?"

Lorenzo asked. Everything in the Platinum Palace was unknown to him. What he had seen and heard before was also under the control of the Queen. He had no time to explore freely.

"Royal territory."

Arthur said suddenly, looking at the door with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"I've been here before... probably more than a decade ago, so long ago that I almost forgot about it."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the door and pushed it slowly until a crack appeared between the doors. No light came through it, and it seemed that there was a dark corridor behind it.

"Let's go, Lorenzo."

Arthur walked in through the gap, and Lorenzo stopped for a moment, grasped his cane, and walked in together.

Just as he thought, unlike the hall shrouded in light, behind the door was a dark corridor with steps gradually going downwards, as if leading underground.

"What is the royal domain?"

Lorenzo and Arthur were the only ones left in the corridor, so he asked directly without hiding anything.

"Literally, it means the realm where the royal family lives," Arthur explained. "Didn't you notice that, apart from the queen, we haven't seen any other royal family members from beginning to end?"

"And... do you know the Queen's name?"

Arthur smiled and asked as he walked.

Lorenzo was stunned. He couldn't think of an answer for a moment.

"Yes, something is wrong, Lorenzo, the Queen of Inglvig, such a noble status, but we can't even remember her name. But, is it that we can't remember it, or we don't know it at all?"

In this huge old Dunling and magnificent Platinum Palace, the only person that people can hear of is Queen Victoria. All information about the royal family is an unsolvable mystery. Under this information blockade and subtle influence, most ordinary people have no idea how the queen was elected. In fact, they don't care. What's more serious is that few people know the queen's name.
