While standing before the city, Elena looked at the walls of the city with impressed eyes. This wall was extremely large and seeing it made everyone sure that the race living behind this massive wall was definitely giants. Other than giants, which race would need walls which were almost 100 meter high.

After Elena had her fill of enjoying the view of the grand wall, she followed behind Escora toward the gates of the city. As they got closer to the gate, the figure of two giants came to Elena's view. This was her first time seeing a proper giant like giant, so she looked at it with a lot of interest.

Giants did not look much different from a regular humanoid race except for their size being massive. The two giants who were before the gate were almost 20 meters tall. One of them them had fair skin and another one had dark coloured skin. But unlike Escora none of them had a horn.

Noticing that Elena was looking at her horns, Escora whispered in her ear that horns were a sign of the royal family for the giants. So any giant that had a horn had at least a little bit of the royal blood. The higher the concentration of the royal blood was, the more impressive and majestic the horns would look.

Seeing Escora, both of the giants immediately knelt down and pushed the gate of the city open for her. Even after thousands of years, they still had not forgetten about this princess of theirs. Escora just regarded them with a slight nod of her head and then pulled Elena toward the gates. The two common giants stayed in the head down position for as long as Escora was close to them. It looked like hierarchy was very important to the giants.

Upon entering the city, Elena had a brand new experience. Even visiting the land of eternal night had not made her this surprised. The city of the giants really lived up to its name as it was really a city made by the giants, for the giants.

The houses that Elena saw around her were all like skyscrapers. But actually they were just two storied houses at most. But as the residance of the city were all giants, this was perfectly normal size for them.

Just looking around, Elena managed to see several giants on the street. They did not really crowded the whole city but their numbers were definitely not small.

One thing that surprised Elena about the giants was the fact that just with a casual glance, she was able to see several giants who had horns. But just some time ago Escora said that the horns for giants were the symbol of the royal family. But it was impossible to believe that the giants had so many members in their royal family. Some of the horned giants were even bargaining like crazy with some shopkeepers which was something that a member of the royal family would never do.

So Elena asked Escora about this and after hearing the question, Escora's face turned red. After some time, she managed to calm her nerves down and told Elena the reason behind this mess.

Actually just as Escora had said, all those horned giants had a part of the royal bloodline inside them. As for the reason why so many giants had this prestigious bloodline, Escora's great grandfather was responsible for it.

Her great Grandfather was a powerful man who had reached the Demigod rank at a very young age. As the giants were also fond of strong people just like demons, this great grandfather of hers had many admirers. Escora's great grandfather was actually a Playboy who used this chance to have sexual relationship with many people. Not only that but he also had a fetish for impregnating women, so he ended up knocking up all of them. From the records kept in the family as top secret, this playboy was the father of at least 2000 children.

Whiile listening to this shameful story of her family, both Elena and Escora started walking toward an extra large building that looked like a temple. That place turned out to be the central spot of this city from where one could go to the location of the gates of Valhalla. As for where the gates of Valhalla were located, it was located at a special space created by the gods.

As they walked on the street, she found that all the people started to bow down as soon as they saw Escora. And from some light conversation that reached her ears, it looked like even though the true members of the royal family were given a lot of respect by the common giants but they were being extra respectful and even fearful toward Escora for her own reputation as Mad Oni. It looked like Escora was quite infamous among the giants.

While Elena was thinking this, she saw that Escora did not mind the looks from the giants around her and walked on the road whole radiating confidence. It looked like she had really mastered the art of being a princess.

...

Soon Elena and Escora reached the front of the large temple. On the gates, an old and wise looking man was standing. His height was actually even smaller than Escora and had two similarly impressive horns on his head. It looked he was a true member of the royal family. And from the expression Escora had after seeing him, it was also clear that he was very much respected by Escora.

After she greeted the old man respectfully, Escora introduced her to Elena. This man was current head of the elders and the strongest person present in this city. Elena could also be sure if that fact as this man's level was 611. Below the level of the gods, there were not many people in this world who could match up to him.

Elena also greeted the man and told him that she was here for the trial. Hearing that, the old man named Konan nodded his head and informed Elena that she could participate in the trial but the whole process of the trial was a bit complex and they needed some time to prepare everything. So Elena would need to wait for some time before she could start her trial.

Elena was fine with that and told the elders so. The elder gladly nodded his head and told Escora to guide Elena well in the upcoming days. When everything would be ready, Konan said that he would send people to notify Elena and Escora. Now that they had nothing to do in the temple anymore, Elena and Escora got ready to leave.

But before Escora left, Konan suddenly spoke up and told her to go and meet with her sister and mother. They had been worried about her this whole time and could not wait to see her. Hearing that Escora nodded her head slightly and started pulling Elena again. This time she was taking her toward the location of another large building which was actually the castle where most members of the royal family lived.
