"It seems the city's popularity has skyrocketed after the 'Expedition'. This is a good opportunity for King Richard to expand his influence and fame across the nations," Valeria murmured quietly, glancing around at the shops that hadn't been there before.
Many new buildings had sprung up, with several still under construction to accommodate the influx of people coming into the city.
"I wonder if our rooms are still available," Sylvia mused, noticing the city's population had grown significantly in just a few weeks. "Miss Zara's inn must be fully booked by now."
Anna, seeing her concern, smiled. "Knowing Miss Zara, she's probably kept our rooms reserved. She knew we'd eventually return to her inn."
