Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1711

Chapter 1711: Stirred

Atticus stared at him for several long moments before eventually sighing inwardly and stepping into the circle.

To him, trust was something that had to be earned. But until then, the least he could do was grant his bond’s mother the benefit of the doubt.

As Atticus stepped into the formation, the others soon followed behind him.

A moment later, the Pride Queen’s eyes erupted with intense golden light that spread through the formation like liquid gold racing across paper.

Then the world twisted violently.

A powerful force yanked Atticus away.

...

Atticus opened his eyes.

A vast chamber revealed itself before him.

Marbled floors stretched into the distance while massive golden chandeliers hung overhead, casting a warm glow across the hall.

He stood atop a slightly elevated platform marked with the same formation the Pride Queen had drawn moments earlier.

’Where is this?’

Just as Atticus was about to spread out his perception, the doors burst open.

A man strode inside. He wore flowing golden robes embroidered with intricate markings. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Powerfully built.

A warrior.

An eight-gemmed crown hovered above his head, radiating brilliant light.

He carried himself with overwhelming regality. The bearing of a king seemed etched into every movement. Numerous maids and guards hurried in behind him.

The instant the man’s eyes landed on the Pride Queen, they widened dramatically.

"My Queen!"

He hurried forward before dropping heavily to both knees the moment he reached her. His head lowered so deeply it nearly touched the floor.

"Please forgive this ignorant one, my Queen! Had I known you were arriving, I would’ve prepared a far grander welcome!"

The maids and guards behind him widened their eyes in shock. To witness their king bow before another person so completely was utterly unimaginable.

Yet the man suddenly turned and shot them a furious glare.

"What are you all standing around for?! Bow immediately! Do you all wish to die?!"

The guards stiffened before hurriedly falling to their knees as well.

The Pride Queen merely smiled faintly.

"Hm, Koi. Relax." The Pride Queen waved lazily. "I didn’t come here to judge your decorating skills. We have more important matters to settle."

"Important matters...?"

"Yes."

The Pride Queen nodded lightly. Then an immense pressure slowly seeped from her figure as she casually said,

"Declare war on the nearest kingdom."

The room fell silent.

...

After hearing her words, Atticus had expected at least some resistance. A brief hesitation, perhaps.

Instead, Koi simply nodded as though her command were the most natural thing in existence before immediately turning to carry it out.

Though not before issuing strict instructions for the Pride Queen’s every need to be attended to.

Moments later, the group was escorted into one of the castle’s massive wings, where each of them was given separate rooms.

Atticus eventually found himself walking through the castle halls alongside the Pride Queen.
