Finally, we namely, Me, my mother, Luna Maya, and my father, left for the capital! The trip from the Randall Territory to the royal capital of Heinz, Venz, would take about a week. I was passed through approximately five other regions before reaching the capital. Uh, since the Sinovac territory has been integrated with the Randall territory, we are now passing through four other noble territories.
Well, it's only natural because there are no cars or other vehicles in this world. There is only a horse-drawn carriage. Not to mention that not many Roads could be built in the absence of such advanced technology. As a result, there is only one way to the capital. Tsk! Bullshit about roads many roads leads to Rome!
Not to mention that the road we were on had no asphalt. Only hardened soil. So if it rains, guaranteed this land will be muddy enough to pass.
During the trip, we chatted a lot about many things. Maybe because I'm meeting Lili and my sisters, my mood is getting better. Well, my mood is not easy to change anyway. At most, if I'm in a bad mood, I'll be alone for a while, and then the bad mood is gone.
Yes, I don't want other people, let alone my family, who have nothing to do with my mood swings, to be an outlet for anger.
Well, let's end the conversation about mood. It's a personal matter, you know!
During the trip to the capital, when we arrived at another noble's territory, the local leader greeted us with open arms. It has become a tradition to welcome and entertain higher ranked nobles.
Finally, after travelling for about a week, we arrived at the capital city, Venz. It is home to more than two million inhabitants—far more than Romeon, whose population is not even a quarter of Venz.
This is a circular castle town with fairly clear district divisions. The city is generally divided into the commoner's district, the commercial district, the aristocratic district, and finally, the royal palace. Instead of being called the capital city, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a province. But to make it easy, let's just call this a city.
Passing through the commoner district, we were greeted by the sight of various circles of people passing by. Food stalls and other merchandise are set up on the roadside. Of course, only a small stall. Although small, at least enough to meet the needs of daily life because their needs as ordinary people are not as high as nobles.
And the most striking building of this Commoner district is the Adventurer's Guild! As expected, the adventurer's guild building in the capital is bigger and grander, like the facilities are also more complete. Suppose there is a chance I will stop by!
It was only natural that an adventurer's guild was built in the Commoner district. This is because the Commoner district is the most accessible. Accessible and easily accessible by anyone. Be it commoners or nobles.
15 minutes later, we were finally out of the Commoner district and into the commercial district. This is where the greatest economic activity in the kingdom takes place. Not only merchants from the Heinz kingdom. Traders from abroad also transact here. Not only the process of buying and selling, but the manufacture of goods also occurs here. That is to say, and this district is the economic pillar of the kingdom.
The closer you get to the noble district, the grander the buildings in the commercial district get. Yeah sure. In addition to needs, nobles have the prestige that they must fulfil.
After walking in the commercial district for 10 minutes, our horse carriage finally arrived at the noble district—the smallest area among the four existing districts and the neatest and orderly.
There is no need to ask about the contents, of course, the luxurious mansions belonging to the nobles. Father's mansion is a bit far from the palace area to the east. At the entrance gate, father showed his noble insignia to the knight guarding the gate. As soon as they saw the badge, they immediately invited our group in.
Finally, we arrived!! hahhh, finally, I can rest my back. You know, a week's journey by horse-drawn carriage in this world is far more terrifying than taking an economy class carriage!
Just imagine that you sit in a horse-drawn carriage seat for about a week, which, although soft, the backrest can't be bent. If the road is flat, it might not be too much of a problem, but the road is uneven in this world!
Well, it was a hell experience. I can't imagine how mom and dad go back and forth to the capital and the Randall area whenever there's important business, let alone dad.
Ahaaa, I think I have a good idea. I will ask the research and development department to make the horse carriage as comfortable as possible! hahaha, congratulations on your hard work, my greatest subordinate, Nimitz. Don't worry, and I'll raise your salary.
****
Nimitz, Issac's subordinate who was currently in a meeting with the head of the research and development department, suddenly sneezed in unison and was followed by a chill down their spine. Somehow they had a bad feeling. I hope nothing bad happens. Hopefully so.
****
After being greeted by the maids and butlers who took care of my Father's mansion in Venz, I went straight to my room after being escorted by one of the maids. I immediately wrote a letter to Nimitz in my room with the details I wanted. After that, I immediately sent it with the pet eagle that I summoned from another realm, Falcon. With that, the mail would reach Randall's territory the next day.
Cheers Nimitz!!
Even if I reach the capital, I won't be seeing Lili right away. I decided to prepare a present for his birthday first. From the spatial pouch, I took out a violet-coloured Crystal stone. This is the crystal I took from the dungeon. I also took out a gold nugget from it and chant modelling magic.
I decided to gift something that wasn't food. Lili likes sweets, but I have no intention of giving one-time gifts. I decided to make earrings. Well, I hope he likes it.
Yosh, finally done. I keep my work in a jewellery box that I brought from the Randall area. After that, I decided to take a short nap. The birthday party will be held in a few days. I hope everything goes smoothly.

Previously Isaac had spread his spies throughout the capital to gather various information and updates about the capital. This decision will eventually lead him to something extraordinary.
