I arrive at Ariel, the Royal Capital, after several hours of night travel.
In the end, I only slept for a few hours in order to fulfill my goal of reaching the great city before noon. This is a good result by all accounts, since I will have enough time to speak with the king and also return to my dormitory once it's all over.
After taking a carriage to the Royal Palace and revealing the plaque to the guards, they allow me inside the magnificent palace.
It's honestly an amazing sight—far bigger and better than anything I have ever seen.
To describe it with words would reduce its greatness.
As such, I implore you to use your imagination to comprehend the most magnificent palace you have ever laid eyes on. Then multiply it severalfold.
Even that may not sufficiently describe the greatness of the Royal Palace of Dustinville.
I was already plenty impressed with the Capital City.
After all, Ariel is a beautiful place.
But this is different.
