Capítulo 63: Bathing

The City of Karlin.

The capital was blessed with more greenery than any of the cities Oriana had visited. There was exquisite architecture and mansions as grand as the Wimark Manor everywhere, yet the natural beauty of the land in Karlin was well-preserved. 

The paved roads here were wider, allowing passage of four large carriages at the same time, and there were flower bushes separating the sidewalks from the roads. Even the common houses each had a yard of their own. 

Surrounded by mountains, Karlin was like paradise. Aside from its beauty, it was also the center of art, be it paintings, sculptures, architecture or landscaping. It was home to the majority of noble households in the kingdom, and there were more nobles than commoners in the capital. Because there were many rich patrons, almost all the master artisans and craftsmen of Griven also lived in the capital. 

Compared to the magnificence of Karlin, Jerusha was like a village.
