The Heping Empire's location had been one of the fastest growing cities in a small province before The Wars started. It was far from the centers of war which were the biggest cities and capitals. Conveniently, a palace stood as a musem there which was now being used by the royal family.
The rest of the world seemed to pause. The innovations might have slowed because of The Wars but it didn't stop inside the Heping Empire. However, outside the walls of the Empire, roads were blocked with old cars and ruins. It didn't help that when The Wars started, bombs hadn't been avoided and ruined most of the major roads and highways.
They had no choice but to go back to the old ways of travelling, via horse.
The palace stood afar. It would take a few hours before they could get there but he could not help the feel of relief that he was finally back. There were two layers of wall. One was to protect the palace and the other was for the whole Empire.
