Meanwhile, on the other side of the capital, Prince Alaric led the way, his strides confident and unhurried, as if the cobbled streets of the bustling market bent to his will. Lara and Peredur walked alongside him, weaving through clusters of merchants hawking their wares.
Agilus and Aramis followed closely while Redon and the few others followed secretly.
After navigating a series of winding corners, Prince Alaric stopped in front of an impressive two-story building crafted from timber and stone. Its gothic roof soared gracefully, adorned with intricate carvings. The first floor buzzed with life, featuring a vibrant array of shops. The warm, inviting aroma of freshly baked bread wafted from a bakery, its windows gleaming with delectable pastries. Next door, an eatery beckoned patrons with a welcoming sign swinging gently at the door, hinting at the culinary delights that lay within.
