Chapter 788 The Memorial Hall

Silas returned just after finishing up in the kitchen.

By coincidence, he caught the tail end of Malrik and Alaric’s conversation.

Leaning casually against the doorway, he smiled. “Why don’t we all go together? That way we can help Jim inspect the place. If there’s anything he doesn’t like, we’ve got enough people here to fix it immediately.”

After saying that, Silas turned toward Jim.

“What do you think?”

Jim himself didn’t really mind.

Corvin had taken the task of decorating his room so seriously that Jim assumed it couldn’t possibly be terrible.

Still, since everyone seemed eager to see it, he had no reason to refuse.

He gave a small nod. “Mm.”

The entire group took the floating elevator up to the fifth floor.

The moment the doors opened, they spotted Corvin standing right outside Jim’s room.

Judging from his posture, the work was already finished. Yet, his expression was strange.

His brows were knit together, his face full of hesitation, as though he were wrestling with some private dissatisfaction.

“Corvin,” Emma called out to him. “Is the room ready?”

The sudden voice startled him. Almost reflexively, Corvin shoved the door shut behind him and turned around.

a? Why are all of you here?”

alen he noticed the entire household trailing behind her, a prickling sensation crawled across his scalp.

could not see what was inside that room. If they did, they would laugh themselves to death.

Home to see the room you prepared for Jim.”

Emma glanced curiously at the closed door. “Is it finished? Can I take a look?”

Corvin stiffened, positioning himself firmly in front of the entrance. “Um… Emma… It’s not completely finished yet. Maybe wait until I’m done?”

“It’s still not finished after all this time?” Marcus studied Corvin’s troubled expression and immediately sensed something suspicious.

“Did you skip dinner or something?” he drawled lazily. “No energy? You’re working awfully slowly.”

Corvin shot him a glare.

“What do you mean no energy? Decorating takes more than muscle; it takes imagination. I need time to think about how to make the room satisfying for Jim.”

Marcus‘ mouth really is unbearable sometimes.

Lucien stepped forward, smiling faintly. “It’s fine if it isn’t finished. Since we’re already here, let us take a look. If something’s missing, we can help you finish it.”

Alaric chimed in beside him. “And Jim is here too. He can point out anything he’d like changed, and we’ll adjust it right away.”

Emma watched Corvin’s conflicted expression and guessed what was happening.

He probably felt that he hadn’t done a good job decorating the room, which was why he didn’t want anyone seeing it.

But how could a poor, innocent kitten like Corvin outmaneuver schemers like Lucien and the others?

Truthfully, Emma was curious too. She wanted to see what Corvin had turned Jim’s room into. But it felt a little mean to openly gang up on him with the others.

So instead, she quietly glanced toward Silas.

Silas met her eyes and instantly understood.

“Corvin.”

He walked forward.

“Silas…”

Before Corvin could finish speaking, Silas‘ hand had already reached the doorknob.

In the next second, the door swung open. A cold draft spilled out.

Hiss

Silas inhaled sharply the moment he saw inside.

He had prepared himself for the possibility that Corvin’s decoration style might be questionable.

But he had never imagined it would be this… dignified.

Inside the room, the first thing they saw was an oppressive, deathly blackness.

Along the pitch–black walls hung strips of white cloud–silk, drifting eerily in the cold airflow.

The moment footsteps echoed into the room, the voice–activated lamps flickered on. A pale, bluish–white light burst into existence.

The ghostly glow shone straight onto the center of the room.

There stood a square stone bed, black as ink. Spread across it were stark, bone–white bedding…

At the head of the bed stood a small black cabinet. On top of it rested a slender white vase. Inside the vase were several artificial white flowers that were eternally blooming, yet eternally lifeless.
