"Remarkable," Ingrid exclaimed, gazing out of the carriage window with her hand firmly clutching its frame. "The wealth of the Sylvania Empire is truly impressive."
Ingrid was well aware of the empire's affluence. The Imperial Palace complex alone rivaled the size of a bustling town. Beyond structures like the Grand Library, the Temple, and even a lake, the palace complex consisted a total of five palaces.
Upon her initial arrival in Sylvania, Ingrid had been whisked away inside a sealed carriage, transported directly to the Lily Palace through the south gate. The scenery unfolding before her eyes was new.
"These... objects... what are they called?" Ingrid turned towards Christine, her finger indicating the soft glow emanating from the top of a tall pole. "I've only ever seen torches lighting up pathways, but these are small and quite enchanting."
"Road lamps, Your Highness," Christine responded.
