Chapter 33 - Meeting with William and visiting the capital.

Until the weekend arrived, Lucca woke up a bit later than usual. He lowered the walls and didn't see anyone from his group inside the room. Seeing this, he got up, took a shower, and left the room to see if he could find anyone from his group.

He arrived at the cafeteria and saw Ana and Alice sitting with a group of girls. He went to the counter where the food was served and approached Alice and Ana. He sat near a girl with red hair, and as soon as he sat down, Ana said, "Ah, finally, the princess woke up!"

"Well, yes! But I woke up feeling unwell today," he replied.

"Why?" she asked.

"I thought you guys had gone to the dungeon without me. I'm so used to getting up and preparing to go to the dungeon that as soon as I saw no one in the room, I immediately thought that," he answered.

"Even if we wanted to go to the dungeon without you, we can't get in!" Alice revealed.

"Why?" Lucca inquired.

"Because on weekends, the academy closes the dungeon," replied the girl sitting next to Lucca, and she continued, "I like the hair."

"Thanks!" Lucca smiled.

"How is it beautiful, it's weird!" Ana commented.

The conversation about Lucca's hair took some time until Lucca interrupted. "Since the dungeon is locked, what about the arena and so on?"

"No, just the dungeon," replied one of the girls.

"Do you guys have any plans?" Lucca asked.

"We plan to go to the capital."

"Interesting," Lucca said, and then he hastily opened the status window.

'Looks like I got lucky,' but in the middle of it, he was interrupted by the red-haired girl.

"And what do you plan to do?" she spoke softly.

"I'm also thinking of going to the capital," Lucca replied.

"Maybe we'll meet there?" She said with a slight smile.

"Very likely," Lucca replied with a smile.

After some time, Lucca left the academy and headed towards the capital. He entered a kind of tavern and found William, next to two women whose beauty was out of this world. Both had green hair, one with green eyes and the other with blue. Both had natural breasts that easily rivaled those with silicone implants back on earth, as well as well-formed buttocks. They were both wearing light tunics with low necklines, one in red and the other in white."

The tavern was a simple place, all made of wood, with tables and chairs, a counter with an old man serving people.

The tavern atmosphere was quite friendly, with people drinking, eating and laughing. However, conversations had to be held at a considerable volume for others at the table to hear.

As soon as William saw Lucca enter the tavern, he stood up and waved to him. Lucca arrived at the table and sat down. "Hello," Lucca greeted his women, and, like Lucca, they greeted him back.

Once Lucca sat at the table, he remarked, "It seems you've had a good company this week," with a smile on his face.

"Ahah! Well," William chuckled, and the two women also smiled. "What can I say, I'm lucky! Haha!" and he laughed again.

Lucca also smiled, but the woman with green eyes asked, "You're so young, what are you doing here? And how do you know William?"

"He's my bodyguard!" Lucca revealed.

"Ah! You're at the academy, right?" asked the woman with blue eyes.

"That's right. What's your name again?" Lucca asked.

"Oh, true. Let me introduce you. This is Ada," pointing to the green-eyed one, "and this is Eva," pointing to the blue-eyed one.

"Pleasure to meet you, Lucca!" Lucca introduced himself.

Lucca, William, and the two women continued to talk for a while until they left the tavern and started walking through the streets of the capital.

"Are you going to give me a tour of the capital or what?" Lucca asked William.

"Of course!" he replied.

"At the very least, you've been doing nothing for a week. You must know all the good spots here, right?" Lucca teased.

"Don't forget that it was your order!" William responded firmly, but at the same time, they both started to contain a slight smile.

The first thing they visited was the Trade Square. As Lucca looked at the square, he could see several tents used by traders, with tables to display their products. The aroma of spices and the buzz of negotiations created a unique sensory experience. Local artisans showcased their skills in stalls, creating beautiful objects.

In the center of the city stood a large, imposing Imperial wall. Its tall walls and watchtowers testified to the central authority of the empire. The imperial flag proudly fluttered over the towers.

Inside these walls, they walked through the main street of the capital and reached the noble district. Walking through the cobblestone streets of the noble district, you pass by elegant mansions and well-kept gardens. Each residence seems to be a testament to the opulence and power of the nobility. Various statues adorn the gardens.

After that, they arrived at the royal palace. Rising majestically against the horizon, surrounded by high stone walls, the palace looks like an impregnable fortress designed to withstand any assault.

The main entrance is protected by a sturdy gate of solid wood, reinforced with iron bars. Guard towers at each corner of the walls offer strategic views of the surroundings. The main facade of the palace is adorned with elaborate architectural details, such as arches and sharp battlements. The pointed towers reach the sky, displaying colorful flags that flutter in the wind and intricate sculptures of mythological creatures.

The dark gray stone of the walls contrasts with arched windows with colored stained glass, adding a touch of elegance to the defensive austerity of the structure.

The gardens adjacent to the palace are meticulously cared for, with stone paths winding between flower beds and bushes.

After seeing the palace from the outside, they left the noble area and entered the area where peasants live and entered the artisans area. The streets of the workshop district are bustling with the sound of hammers and craftsmen working on their creations. Blacksmiths, jewelers, and weavers produce items.

After the tour, the sun was setting, and they decided to grab something to eat. They entered the same tavern they had been in before.
