Chapter 64: The Temple of Dionysus

After learning the princess's identity, Creon immediately sent her to the uninhabited Wyvern Tower to block the news. In taking away Vanessa's freedom, he also took away her splendid dress, and the princess was sent to sleep on a straw mat in only a petticoat, and fed on oatcakes and a small urn of water every day. Now the servant's concept of himself is probably just a little girl who has an awkward relationship with the prince, locked in the Wyvern Tower by Creon and calmly reflected.

Heavy footsteps came from the blue-striped stone steps, heavy, but not slow, and Vanessa knew she had a visitor coming.

Creon's handsome face appeared by the makeshift wooden door at the top of the tower, and Vanessa could see by the light of the torch in his hand that his face was not only anxious, but also seemed to have a look twisted by rage.

"Come with me." Creon unlocked the door without emotion, and came over to pull the princess.

"Where?" Vanessa reached out to Creon and let him pick herself up.

"The Silver King wants to see you." Creon said with a frown.

Ha, it seems that this stupid guy Creon still told his father his identity. The name Clio was synonymous with "power" in ancient times, and the Silver King took his control of power to the extreme, concentrating all his military power and financial power in his own hands, even after Creon established himself as the prince, the Silver King still controlled the Kingsguard, and the prince's own close guards were cut down to less than the hair on the king's head.

The king, who regarded power as his life, must have thought about his identity, otherwise he would not have been so eager to summon him.

I'm the dividing line*******

The temple of Dionysus is tall and majestic at night, and as far as the eye can see, there are white columns and sumptuous Davoridge vaults, and the stone base is inlaid with magic crystals of changing colors, illuminating the entire palace like a dream palace.

Vanessa learned the origins of the Temple of Bacchus from her history teacher, and three hundred years ago the highlands were completely covered with forests, with only a few fishermen settling on the banks of the fast-flowing Meadow River. Later, the pioneer Sauron crossed the sea from the city-state of Ale and marched north against the Mewi, where his army finally landed, and then Sauron built his first rough defensive fortress out of wood and earth at the top of the highest hills. The warriors toasted in celebration of their struggle against nature for three days and three nights, and then named their new city, Dionysus, after the god of wine.

Today, the Temple of Bacchus has become the royal palace of the country of Sakatani, and countless buildings are attached to its feet, forming the royal capital of the kingdom of Sakatani. Mansions, pavilions, lodges, market stalls, taverns, cemeteries, and brothels are one after the other, with wide boulevards, winding alleys, and alleys too narrow for two people to pass side by side. More than 100 wharves line the Temple of Wine, the harbor is filled with boats, deep-water fishing boats and river rafts, and merchant ships unloading cargo from Haaken Island, Fort Dukes of Windsor and Scambrai. Even at night, Vanessa could hear the noise coming from the marina fishing market.

However, these were only the exterior of the Temple of Wine, and it was only when she actually entered the palace that Vanessa discovered the coercion of the Hagen family, which was surrounded by eight massive towers reinforced with steel fortifications, and in the middle was a large, cold main fortress. The numerous domed halls are connected by airtight bridges, the inner city is separated from the outer by a heavy parapet wall that fills the archery vents, and the ground is full of barracks, dungeons, and barns, all of pale red stone characteristic of the valley. It's still night, and Vanessa is sure she'll find more fortifications when the sun comes out.

What kind of king would put layers of armor on his shelter? What is the man on the Iron Throne afraid of? Vanessa spotted Creon walking with her on the road leading to the main hall, and looked around from time to time.

He rarely goes in and out of this inner fort!

Vanessa's eyes narrowed - the Silver King Cleo was afraid of his son!
