Chapter 58: To The Leonile Lord...

"I can't believe I had to wake up so early today!"

"Hey, isn't it worth it?! I didn't sleep a wink last night, waiting to be chosen in the candidate selection!"

"Bah! I already know I would be chosen!"

The chatter continued as dawn approached the dark skies of Thaeria. Within the crowded halls of the Elder guild, the white stoned walls of the halls were adorned with numerous hanging banners. Each banner was embellished with a unique symbol, each different from the others. Made with every rare fabric, the banners hanged elegantly, exposed to the eyes of anyone who walks by.

Barely a hundred candidates were summoned in the halls for selection. Unlike the Blue Fire arena with its bustling audience, the Candidate Selection was only witnessed by the guild Lords and their trusted followers.

Most candidates hurriedly proceeded to the Elder Halls as though a bath was meaningless while others took their time as lazily as possible, comfortably sighing in the comfort of a bath as though it was as important as living like how Yoongi was precisely an hour ago.

Currently, the youth didn't even bother to braid his hair properly. He wanted to sleep for a whole day without anyone distracting him. If it wasn't because he was summoned, he would've slept till the sun sets in the next day.

Yoongi yawned as he stretched his arms to keep himself awake. His nose caught a whiff of lavender as he shook his hands, reminding him of the scented bath he had long ago. He only wished that the Selection would end quickly.

He stood at the farthest part behind the crowd of candidates, isolating himself from the scornful gazes most candidates had given him. Their looks were of disbelief as they noticed the white band around Yoongi's wrist. Who was Yoongi to judge them? Most of the candidates were more superior in rank than him. Their golden bands gleamed under the light of the chandeliers, from afar the crowd was exquisite as they bands twinkled as if to show off each of their lusters.

Yoongi was an exception. He knows he wasn't wanted but he didn't care. He only crossed his arms as he stood, waiting to enter the gigantic doors before them. It was entirely made of dark wood, magnificent swirls carved. Like sparkling stars, gems and gold were embedded in the upper part of the curved top of the double doors. Yoongi already spent most of his time waiting by admiring the starry-like design.

A loud creak caught the attention of the candidates and they immediately silenced themselves to look sophisticated yet elegant. Yoongi almost laughed.

As Yoongi started walking along with the others, someone walked right past him, bumping his shoulders. The Maeruthan sneered at him, joining his snickering friends. Yoongi frowned at the guy intentionally bumping him. This was the third time already. How childish...

"Hey"

Someone suddenly grasped Yoongi's shoulder, making the youth glare at the person making a move at him.

Angelo grinned, "Easy there, young master."

Yoongi stopped. A surprised expression shaped his face. "Angelo!"

Finally! Someone Familiar!

"Congratulations for making it to the selection, Yoongi" She walked beside him as they entered the doors. Her braided platinum hair fell behind her back, swaying as she walked.

Yoongi smiled as he turned his attention ahead of him, "Likewise..."

The doors opened wide and the candidates entered with awe etching their faces. Their eyes gazed at the arched balconies situated in a semi-circular arrangement. Within each of those balconies, a Guild Lord sat on their throne with their right-hand standing beside them. A hanging banner embroidered with their Guild crest was set above their balconies, completely exposed to the eyes of each candidate.
