Chapter 333 Such Extravagance
Raven’s gaze unconsciously drifted to the hands of the person from the Sunset Empire.
The moment her eyes landed on the object he was holding, her expression darkened instantly.
By now, the grand hall was filled with over thirty distinguished guests.
At the center of the hall, seated in the most prominent position, was a graceful figure dressed in a pure white gown.
The woman appeared to be in her mid–twenties, her silky silver hair cascading freely down her back, accentuating her delicate and flawless features.
Though there were other striking women in the room, none could hold a candle to her brilliance, which seemed to overshadow everyone else.
This extraordinary woman was none other than Helena, the third–ranked person in the world and the esteemed leader of Lunshire.
At this moment, every gaze in the hall, including Helena’s, was fixed on the object held by the middle–aged man from the Sunset Empire.
Aside from Helena, nearly everyone present showed varying degrees of astonishment.
The man was holding a diamond the size of a clenched fist.
At its center was a milky–white wing, seemingly formed naturally within the gem.
“Is that the Diamond Wing? The one said to influence the fate of individuals and even entire nations?”
“Wasn’t this the treasure plundered from Vyrdenia by the Sunset Empire eighty years ago?”
“I remember Vyrdenia offering astronomical sums to reclaim it, only to be refused. And now, they’re giving it to Lady Helena? Such extravagance!”
The five high–ranking officials from Vyrdenia seated on the eastern side wore grim expressions, but none of them stepped forward to speak.
At the head of the hall, Helena gestured to her female aide to accept the gift from the middle–aged envoy of the Sunset
Empire.
After carefully inspecting the gift, the aide handed it over to Helena.
Helena held the Diamond Wing in her hand, feeling the gentle, soothing energy radiating from it. A wave of comfort spread through her, leaving her feeling inexplicably at ease.
Standing by the entrance, Raven observed Helena’s reaction. Her suspicions, sparked the moment she first laid eyes on the Diamond Wing, were now confirmed.
This thing definitely has something wrong with it.
Helena twirled the Diamond Wing in her hand, a radiant smile blooming on her flawless face.
“Lord Miyamoto, you’ve truly put thought into this. I’ll remember this favor from the Sunset Empire,” Helena said.
The middle–aged envoy from the Sunset Empire, addressed as Miyamoto, froze for a moment, his breath catching at the sight of Helena’s dazzling smile.
In the next instant, he snapped out of it, quickly shaking his head as he replied, “It’s the Sunset Empire’s honor to present something of use to you, Lady Helena.”
After speaking, Miyamoto cautiously observed Helena’s expression.
Seeing her smile deepen ever so slightly, he finally exhaled a long, relieved breath.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze shifting toward the five high–ranking officials from Vyrdenia.
“Our Sunset Empire has already presented its gift. I wonder what Vyrdenia, as the host, has prepared for Lau, Helena?* Miyamoto asked.
The five Vyrdenian officials stiffened.
But with the weight of so many eyes on them, staying silent wasn’t an option.
Soon, Corey, the grand general Raven had seer Successfully unlocked! slowly stood up from his seat.
He took a pre–prepared gift box from the hands of a nearby official and quickly made his way to the front of the main seat.
