Bab 288: 288:Something Is Burning

Royal Castle, Luxembourg—Great Royal 

The Great Royal was renowned for its grandeur, a palace exuding opulence from its gleaming ivory walls to the towering golden gates, flanked by vigilant guards. 

The palace grounds, a testament to tradition and authority, were meticulously maintained, with pathways paved in smooth, polished stone and stately statues standing sentinel over the entrance. Guards lined every corridor, their uniforms crisp, eyes sharp, their mere presence a silent reminder of the power vested in this fortress.

Beyond the palace lay an office building of equal splendor, though it radiated a cool efficiency instead of the palace's warmth.
