The town was a lot bigger than the town they had just travelled from with most of the land being governed by nobles. Though they were now in the capital of the kingdom, they were not close to the palace.
Rose overheard from the soldiers that the king was still keeping them an arm's length away because he was scared. Now, they were staying on the land belonging to a lord but it was close to one of the markets in town.
