After several hours of navigating the unfamiliar landscape of the Oriventh Empire, we finally arrived at the Grand Duke Lancaster's castle.
You heard me right.
The Grand Duke has a castle of his very own.
This castle is on par with the Tarondar Palace, if not even slightly more grand. Matteo, Leena, Zephyr, Neve, Ivy, literally everyone was gawking at the sight of it as we got closer and closer. Lancaster Castle was not the only thing impressive, either. The Dukedom of Lancaster was impressive on its own.
To put it into perspective, the Dukedom is at a minimum of four times the size of Stonelight. Yeah. It's huge. These Grand Dukes are very wealthy and powerful. We have to be careful of them.
As we approach closer to the golden gates of Lancaster Castle, I notice the walls lined with enchanted cannons and magic wards. If you look closely, you can spot the translucent magic shield that forms a dome around the castle to protect it from any attacks.
