THE carriage carrying Argent, Aurum, and Clay parked at the designated parking space for carriages and the likes. It's because these vehicles were not allowed to enter the city. Argent walked out of the carriage followed by the two. Then she stared at the looming wall in front of them. She already knew that the city was surrounded by a tall wall. She just didn't expect it to be this tall.
"What an overkill," Aurum commented when she saw the wall.
"It even has a tighter security in comparison to other small countries," Clay added. The black mask covering the lower part of his face was now replaced by a thin white mask that Argent gave earlier. It now covered the upper half of his face. He still chose to wear a mask just in case. "A lot of high ranking knights are stationed here. All to protect the city and the Pope. We should be careful or else we might not get out of here in one piece."
Aurum raised one of her brows. "What's this, are you actually scared?"
