Chương 93: Chapter 93: A Farewell to the Past

Lucian stood atop the balcony of his palace, gazing out at the sprawling empire that he had built, molded, and fought for. Now, as he prepared to step down from the responsibilities that had defined him for so long, he knew there was one last journey he needed to make. It wasn't to seek glory or expand his territory. No, this would be a journey of closure—a farewell tour of the places and people who had shaped his life and defined the very essence of the empire.

The air was crisp and clear that morning, a sign of the autumn season settling in. With a deep breath, he turned and made his way to the stables where his steed awaited. Word had already spread of his intention to visit every major city and settlement, and his advisors had meticulously planned his route. But unlike his previous travels, this time Lucian intended to move at his own pace, unburdened by the demands of statecraft or strategy. This time, it would be for him.
