In his previous life, Charles had never had enough money to travel, nor had he seen those famous European palaces and known how opulent they were. But when he stepped into the Champagne Palace, his first reaction was, "Holy shit, this is all built on the people's hard-earned money!"

Charles believed that the opulence of the Champagne Palace was unparalleled, even by the palaces of Europe on Earth, since ancient Europe had no magic, transcendent beings, or alchemy to create such awe-inspiring architecture.

Lamps imbued with alchemical magic, which even now Charles could not afford, hung throughout the entire Champagne Palace, lighting up the palace as if it were daytime. Such a scene on his Earth would only occur in certain specific occasions when people extravagantly squandered electricity; in this medieval world, it was akin to a miracle.
