There were also different Artistic Paintings of Wars between the Aurelian Empire and other Empires as they Emerged Victoriously, Paintings of the Current and Past Emperors Achievements etc.
Gilmesh was in Awe of How Just the Hallway looked Like, He was sure that His Empire's Imperial Palace couldn't even compare to this one.

"This will be your Quarters, The other boys that the Emperor Trains reside here too, inside, there is a Room that has been Prepared for you, above it is a sign that says Room 34, that Is your Room."

Gilmesh could see boys around his age in the Open Pathway. The oldest he could see currently was about 15 years old, one thing they all had in common was they were all handsome, each with different facial And Body features that Distinguished them. Another thing to note was, only some were conversing with each other, but the majority of them didn't have smiles on their faces, rather they had Dull eyes and frowns.
"Shouldn't they be excited that they're being or going to be Trained By the Emperor, Well I forgot one am not excited so who am I too speak about them.. Maybe they are just nervous"Gilmesh muttered as he looked around the Hall and shrugged his shoulder before walking towards the Door with a number seventeen on it and going inside.

When he entered the room, he could see two beds, one in the right side of the room, the other in the left side of the room. He could see a boy of around 14 years old sleeping in the small bed in the left side of the room, without disturbing him, Gilmesh decided to go rest in the bed on the right side after taking a good look at the room, with a little window, a wooden desk with two chairs, a bookshelf with Several books on it, a bathroom located at the left corner of the room.
The room wasn't big, only about 400 square meters in size. After taking a look at the room, Gilmesh also slept in the Bed and didn't wake up till Breakfast time the next morning.
