Chapter 430: Other Side of the Queen

The trip to the Great Arena was even longer by car. The mountains were completely avoided and the highway was built to go around them. Their steep and rocky nature proved to make building the road more difficult.

A history of rockslides and sudden quakes in the structure of the rocky Sirius mountains was more than enough to warn engineers from building a road through the mountains.

Fortunately, cars were much faster and the journey was so smooth that the concept of time saved by a direct route was warped and the debate was considered trivial.

The Sirius Royal convoy made a few stops in the towns along the way to have lunch, refuel and restock on supplies before making it to the Great Arena within the span of two days. 

The king had come with more than one kind of board game and the group had played almost all of them whenever they got too bored. At times, the king chose to narrate stories of the Trials when he was still a prince of the Empire as well.
