I have a question that has been a stuck in my mind for quite a while about the palace The Earis lives in!
do you have an image in your mind or know how The palace looks? I’ve been interested in this for quite a while! I have been thinking like old fashion alike, nothing of the modern era, but I’m not 100% sure! I would love to know how it looks⚔️
have a great dayyyyy!
For Earis' palace, this is what I've always imagined. I can't find any images of what it would look like as a whole, but these are a few pictures that capture the interior, so the rest can be your imagination!
Grand, luxurious halls of marble and amazing intricacy:
Walkways around the palace with a wondrous view of Serulla (the left's design with the right's view kinda):
Beautiful, luscious gardens that is wrapped around some architecture:
The library with two storeys full of knowledge (not as big as the third picture, but that spacious):
I hope this helps!

You were going on a walk to calm you down. The trials have stressed you out to a ton and you could not sit still. However, you wanted company. You knew how much he irritated and aggravated you with his little tantrums about how ‘spoiled’ you were but you couldn’t help but feel relaxed around him. He was the one person you could be yourself around. Even though your guard was always up, mask always on, he got to see a more truthful side to it.
It didn’t take too long to find him as he visited his favorite areas. And there he was, reading in the grass. You couldn’t grasp how he felt so comfortable doing such and so openly, but it wasn’t time for you to judge, not now anyway.
“I’m going for a walk to clear my head.” You say looking at him sternly. However, he seemed quite unbothered. He didn’t ask anything or say anything witty. He just sat there.
“Have fun.”
“You don’t want to join me?”
“Do you want me to?” He raised a brow, smirking. A stupid look that he always has on his face. It was utterly annoying but it did amuse you just a bit.
You nodded to his ask and waited for him to get up.
“You’re carrying the book around? Just leave it here.”
“I’d rather have it on me in case you try hurting me. Oddly, you would even want me to join you on this walk. Suspicious even. Are you planning on getting your competition out of the way early? That’s foul you know.” There he went with his blunt, arrogant, insufferable rants and accusations.
You didn’t even care to indulge in him, you’d rather relish this peace. He must’ve noticed your unusual silence because he reciprocated it. Even though you were already a quieter person, often holding back, you’d snap back at him.
“So, my Earis, what brings us here and on this stroll? You seem awfully peaceful and quiet today.”
“Well,” You started hesitantly, “I know the trials have been utterly stressful, wouldn’t you agree?”
Zaros scoffed at your facade. He knew you weren’t as put together as you portrayed yourself to be. Unfortunately for him, you had no intention of arguing.
“So you brought your rival on a stroll with you? That’s outright stupidity.”
“You’re free to leave, Zaros. You were invited to join me, not required.”
He stared at you in silence. Normally, he had a smart counterpoint but not this time. Not even one word no matter how bad he wanted to say it. For the first time, he was completely dumbfounded.
“Apologies, I– the idea just confused me.”
You nodded in acceptance of his apology. Most of the time, you’d laugh at him for being so quickly flabbergasted; however, you didn’t have the energy for that. You didn’t have the energy to be as angry or snarky as you typically were.
“But,” He started again, “You are very quiet today. Perhaps you want me to start the conversations?”
“That would be nice.”
“Ah, what am I most interested in asking you about today?”
“Please nothing that would make me feel guilty.”
The two of you laughed at that. It felt so odd but so right. After all, if a joke is funny, laugh. That was something you’ve taught him a long time ago. Around when you first met. Zaros wasn’t the best at expressing himself but you changed him completely. Whether that was a good or bad thing, you didn’t care enough to debate it.
“Remember when we were learning how to skip rocks? Ah, you hated that. Always complaining about your hands being dirty and coming to me to help you clean them.”
“I remember that. I still loathe the filthiness of those rocks. I did turn to you a lot though, didn’t I?”
“Yes. Always going to me saying ‘Zaros, my hands are dirty again!’ I remember I would use my own clothes to wipe your hands and arms. I felt like your protector or some such.”
In a way, he kind of was. That’s how you used to see him. Oddly enough, that’s how he saw you too.
He cleared his throat and walked closer to you, “That was when we were inseparable.”
You smiled at him, “The most free I've ever been.”
He looked at you in confusion. He knew you didn’t have the most freedom here but if anything, he thought you would enjoy it knowing your ‘standards’.
“You feel trapped here?”
“Not trapped, just very restricted.”
“Do you feel trapped right now?” Zaros asks, putting his hand on your shoulder, expecting you to push it off.
“No, not when I’m with you.”
You say as you keep his hand on your shoulder, enjoying his company.

Thoughts while listening to the latest Noble Trials:
- Firstly, as much as I would’ve loved it, thank you Saku for not making the test into some large infodump lol
- International politics had a strange relevance, different countries/regions may have a growing importance to the storyline. Makes sense: If any country is particularly involved in Serulla they’ll want tabs on the possible next leader
^ Maybe even some possible collusion… I doubt Earis or Zaros would take any deals but their mothers may.
- Speaking of the Queen, the “darker’ side to her was really interesting. Her “I’m still Queen and I’m always your mother” attitude twisted her benevolence to more personal matters
- Zaros’ mom is still a bitch though
- Zaros will win debate. Not a doubt in my mind. And if/when the combat trial happens, Earis will dominate.
^ The question is how they’ll respond to victory. Since they’re being judged on character as well, how they respond may be paramount to their judging (I only say this because Zaros is a teasing bastard, Earis seems to have anger issues, and both talk shit - their flaws may come to the forefront, win or lose)
- Zaros and Earis seemed to be more friendly this episode. Still obviously competitive, but their jests felt more between friends than strictly mean, as they had been before. Possible rewarming back up to eachother? Old connections being reinvigorated?
^ “Beautiful things capture my attention just as much as mundane ones.”
- Finishing this off with an AU idea I had: Zaros wins the trial, but Earis keeps their reputation with the tournament. Excellent swordsman? Great. They become a general and host the newly-revamped version of combat tournament.

I saw your recent work of Andrew and Isaac and I love it sm. Your art style is so lovely and the fact that you're drawing for free? Yeah, if I could eat your art, I would 😭🫶
Would you mind drawing Zaros admiring some flowers that remind him of the listener next? (The choice of flowers don't really matter) 🙃
Awie Thank you! I hope you'll like this one too!
