162 Anpaes Kingdoms Capital (1/2)

After exiting the portal, the capital of the Anpaes Kingdom was in front of them. The portal was situated in an upper area inside the city and was perfect to have a good sightseeing of the whole city.

The city was enormous, more than Trade City and the Imperial City, but the buildings weren't tall at all. Instead, there were a lot of independent houses.

The city wasn't constructed in a flat terrain; instead, it seemed to have been built on a mountain, with the palace being at the peak and the poorest zones at the bottom.

The fact the portal was in a high position was due to being almost beside de royal palace, as only the royal family or those authorized for them could use it, it was normal for the portal to be near the royal palace.

”What do you think about the capital, a great sight, right?”

Sebe said it with pride, as a member of the royal family he liked when the people had good opinions about the capital and seeing the others being without words after seeing the city was a great praise to the city and thus, to the royal family.

”It is pretty big, but this capital didn't have a proper name?”

Yale was the first to reply as the impact he received from the city was lesser than the others, he had already seen the Imperial City of the Revgen Empire and Trade City in the Zuatania Republic after all.

”Well... it has a proper name, but almost everyone just calls it the capital. The capital's name is Anpaes City; it has the same name as the kingdom, so using the name it is a bit confusing. You know? This city was the origin of the Anpaes Kingdom, my grandfather constructed this city first, and after some time he finally created the current kingdom.”

Sebe spoke about it like if the capital was the starting point of the kingdom, but in Yale's eyes, the reality was a bit different.

For Yale, the capital was the true Anpaes Kingdom and thus the true reason for the name. The rest of the so-called kingdom were just a pack of poor cities of towns without almost any relationship with the capital.

Anpaes City wasn't worse than the Imperial City and Trade City, but the cities and towns outside were clearly worse than the ones in the Revgen Empire and the Zuatania Republic. That as a clear show that for the Anpaes Kingdom, the things what happened outside the capital didn't matter too much.

Anpaes City had a lot of security and guards, an entire army, but in the border area with the Zuatania Republic, there was only bandits and poor people.

The Anpaes Kingdom didn't show any will of defending those areas from the attacks of bandits not care about the wellbeing of the people living there. Only when someone powerful like the Bear Overlord appears the royal family will start to take an interest in those areas.

”I know you want to see the city for more time, but we should start moving. There is a guard control just after leaving our current place, from now on, don't say a word until I say it to you.”

Aiwai and Shirk broke from their trance of seeing the capital after hearing Sebe.

Wyba didn't understand what was so great of the capital, so she had been just staring it trying to find out it, but when Yale and Aiwai started to walk, she stopped paying attention to the city and walked behind them. For her the best place was the place where Yale and Aiwai were, she didn't care about living in a house at a mountain or in a big city, there wasn't any difference for her as long she was with her family.

The guards just bowed when they saw Sebe, and just like Sebe had said, they didn't question the presence of the others following him.

Sebe continued walking until reaching a small independent house near the palace.

”Welcome, prince Sebe.”

A woman seated behind a desk welcomed Sebe bowing her head, no one needed an explanation to know that she was someone working for the royal family.

”I need to obtain the official documents for a new guard under my orders and for my friends. My friends are family, so they will live together, give them the best house in my possession.”

Sebe lived inside the palace, all the houses he had were to give others, so he didn't hesitate to give the best house to Yale.
