"Ooohhh~ So this is the Kingdom of Bratus," Elijah, now all grown up, commented as he lifted his hand on his forehead, peering over the whole city as far as his eyes could see. He wore a navy blue tailcoat with golden lines and embroidery at the edges, and white shirt inside. His pants were the same color as his tailcoat, simple and slightly fitted. On his feet were long dark brown lace up boots that extended just below his calf, a few inches above the ankles. With this outfit, matched with his extremely attractive face, he looked quite princely.
