A Few Days Later...
Vicente was walking through the central streets of the capital of the Seidel Kingdom, the beautiful Grandis.
After a few days of trouble-free travel, he had arrived in this city this morning.
As he made his way through the local streets, he saw some of the true power of the Seidel family, seeing a place much more powerful than one would find traveling through most of the kingdom.
About 5 cities in the kingdom, including the capital, had Sovereigns and looked more like cities of the Chutha Dynasty or the Kenyth Empire than the Seidel Kingdom's cities. But that was it. The rest of the kingdom seemed much simpler and weaker.
Vicente understood why. The kingdom wasn't strong, but most of the local experts lived in the capital or in the cities closest to the capital.
