Traveling through the busy streets of a trading center like Selve would have been slow had it not been for the combined force of the royal knights and the men arranged by Duke Maxil.

The estate of the House of Selve showed off the great wealth accumulated by the family for generations. In Seren's eyes, the architecture of the manor strongly resembled the Royal Palace of Griven, the buildings made of white marble with hints of gold, albeit the scale were considerably smaller and less luxurious than the one found in the capital of Karlin. From the casual words of Arlan who acted as host to them, he mentioned that several generations ago, the Queen of Griven came from the House of Selve and she remodeled the Selve manor after she retired from politics.
