Castle of Might
"What is happening here?" D'andre asked as he appeared inside the throne room, where the seekers were bowing their heads fearfully to Venerable Mario, who gazed upon them with a merciless glint in his eyes.
His appearance caused a rapid change in the atmosphere in the room.
After hearing his voice, the seekers rejoiced inwardly, for they now believed they stood a chance of surviving Venerable Mario's wrath.
Meanwhile, Venerable Mario's intense gaze softened as he turned to look at his loquacious friend, a somewhat puzzled expression on his face.
D'andre stared at the seekers for a few seconds before turning his attention to Venerable Mario.
"Are you working your superiority complex again by making these men bow like this?" he asked, his tone light and teasing.
Venerable Mario's head twitched in annoyance. He had warned D'andre repeatedly to stop accusing him of having a superiority complex, yet his friend never seemed to listen.
