Unlike most Empire, the Crimson sanctuary is controlled by Four major powers; the leading Crimson family, the Alina family, the Frost family and the Red magic tower. These powers have their headquarters located in the inner layer of the sanctuary.
The inner layer is divided into three city; The Crimson city, Red Rush City and the Red tower city.
"The Crimson city is where the Crimson family estate is located."
"The Alina family and the Frost family controls and have their headquarters located in Redrush city."

After riding in the carriage for half an hour, Leo and Rose reached Redrush city, the most bustling of the three city in the sanctuary.
Once they arrived at the city, Leo and Rose got out from the carriage and went to look for a restaurant to eat. There were plenty of restaurants within the city.
A moment later, they stood in front of a two storey restaurant with a signboard saying "Vista Restaurant". There was an open space before the building, and flags were erected on the ground with Alina's family insignia embroidered in them. The flags were making rustling sound as the wind blew. The restaurant belonged to the Alina family.
There are many guards seen standing guard round the building with the weakests among them being dim green core rank mages and mage warriors.
Upon seeing Leo entered with Rose, they greeted him in unison with vigour, "Welcome young master Leo."
"Your grandfather really treated you like a prince."
"Why don't you go and live with him instead of staying at the estate where you are being bullied everyday? Asked Rose with a teasing smile on her face.
Leo blushed with embarrassment while responding, "Stop teasing me sister." as they both continue moving into the restaurant.
The Vista restaurant was one of the most popular and bustling restaurants in the whole sanctuary as light mages are the chefs and they use their light magic to cook which increase the taste of the foods and of the wines they brewed.
"The restaurant received massive number of visitors everyday as they served Spiritual food which is considered as luxury food. Spiritual food. It has an additional effect of increasing mana core refinement."
"Most people came to the restaurant for their signatory drink, "the moonlit wine" which is only sold in the establishment."
"They both entered the restaurant."
"The hall of the first floor of the restaurant was spacious, easily accommodating over fifty tables. Most of the tables had been occupied as the guests drank wine and chatted. The customers were from different forces in the city and visitors visiting the city."
Presently, it was hustling and bustling in the hall. Some of the people were dressed up differently while some from the same power were dressed the same.
There was a counter near the entrance, and behind it was a female receptionist. Inside the hall, waiters and waitress could be seen moving around as the delicate dishes exuded an aromatic scent.
"When Leo and Rose stepped into the hall, the receptionist stood up to welcome them. Upon seeing the visitor was Leo, she quickly contacted the manager with her communication jade slip to inform him of Leo's arrival."
"Footsteps were heard quickly descending from the stairs."
"Welcome young master and miss Rose, greeted the manager of restaurant on seeing them. Leo was always treated with respect whenever he visited the restaurant as he was the doted on grandson of the Alina's family Patriarch."
"Good day Mr Tobi", replied Leo. Leo was familiar with the man as he is a frequent visitor of the establishment.
"Who are those two that they required the manager to come down and welcome them?" asked one of the people dining in the hall.
"Are you not from this city? They are Leo Crimson, the trash of the Crimson family and Young mistress Rose Crimson, the young miss of the Crimson family." replied another man sitting along with his three friends.
"As the man finished his sentence, some of the people eating in the hall suddenly looked at him, some with a mocking smile while others with a look of pity on their faces as they are expecting to see a wonderful show."
"Did I say something wrong?" asked the confused man.
"Blade", called the manager.
Without waiting for an additional command, one of the guards in the hall whose name was Blade started to move towards the dining area of the man that called their young master trash with killing intents oozing out from his body.
"The hall suddenly felt cold as a result of the oozing killing intent."
Blade threw a punch coated with stones made of mana towards the man.
"Double earth punch!"
The man tried to block it by releasing a spell.
"Earth shield!"
A shield made of earth started forming in front of the man.
Before the earth shield was fully formed, the guard punch broke and connected two attacks together in the blink of an eye, making it seem as though he attacked two times with a single movement.
"whoosh!"
The punches landed on his chest and he flew away like a broken kite towards a nearby table spilling the food on it away.
"AAAAHHH!!! He shouted with blood dripping from his mouth.
Seeing this, his three friends sitting along with him on the same dining table joined hands to together to attack the guard. They are all Dark Yellow Core mages.
"Ice arrow!"
"Earth spike!"
"Fireball!"
The three attacks rained down on Blade.
"Hmph!"
Mana aura of bright green covered Blade's body as he shielded himself from their attacks to protect himself and the hall from being damage .
"Don't blame me for attacking. It's your fault." Said Blade towards the three men before retaliating against them.
