บท 159: Chapter 159 - First Steps in the Capital

Broken and Ivana stepped through the city gates in awe. Towering buildings and spires rose around them, their white stone glittering in the sun. People of all shapes and sizes bustled about, merchants haggling between stalls, and adventurers recounting their war stories. Carts rumbled by, their wheels clattering against the cobblestones beneath them.

Everywhere they looked, life thrived. People went about their business, shared laughter, exchanged juicy gossip, and occasionally, cast veiled glances at the newcomers. It was like stepping into a different world, vibrant and full of energy.

"Have you ever been to the capital before, Ivana?" Broken asked.

Ivana shook her head. "No, this is my first time," she replied with a warm smile.

Broken chuckled softly. "Actually, this is my first time as well," he admitted. "Before this, I've only traveled around the towns and small villages surrounding the city."
