The royal capital was lively since morning.
Many craftsmen and laborers were out working, and a line formed in front of the bakery.
Merchants who had been shut out overnight were entering through the castle gates one after another, while caravans heading for other cities, escorted by guards, rumbled along with the sound of wheels.
The inn offered breakfast upon request, but Wataru and his group decided to eat outside.
After all, they wanted to experience the town and observe how people lived here.
While the inn's food was probably tasty and consistent, finding a business opportunity was also one of their key goals.
"Alright, where should we eat?" Wataru asked.
"Well, there aren't that many places open for breakfast," Mariel replied.
"The people here don't seem to eat much in the morning," Wataru noted.
