Not long after fighting against the bouncer, a new set of staff ushered Nikolai and his group into the Arena. The filthy stairs gave way to a beautiful and rather clean-looking floor inside, with red carpets and black walls. There were various paintings of fox spirits and foxes on the walls.
The imagery reminded Nikolai of Kumiko, his wife... she must have lived in this country for a long time.
Foxes seemed to be important to the Silver Clan in the west, maybe in the past because of their deep connection and marriage vows, but now... the last remaining royal blooded fox became Nikolai's woman—a Volkov, the Silver Clan's former master and now enemy.
"Phew... this place is quite good, the atmosphere is a little too steampunk, but the neon lights and feel are great." Ryan muttered as he followed Nikolai, who held Clara in his arms like a bride, with Aru curled up on her stomach and legs.
