Chapter 323 In the City


    Afternoon, I was strolling around the newly built pce that was constructed in the middle of the city. The city would definitely be the capital of our nation, and a pce was a must. Together with everyone, we built our own royal pce where my mothers, Big Sis and Gabrielle, would live once our country was approved. Once the Queendom of Raevender approved, Mother and Mom would be the queen regnant and queen consort, respectively, and Big Sis would be the crown princess. Meanwhile, I had given up being the heir to the crown since the country would be a matriarchal one. Instead, I would inherit the marquis title from my Mother and rule the current Raevender Marquisate. However, since there would be a country named Raevender in the future, the marquisate might encounter some identity issues. But Mother brought up a brilliant idea. After the Queendom of Raevender was established, the marquisate would be renamed Lavender, Mother''s original family name, as she wanted to continue the legacy of her father. Even though the name of the territory was to change to Lavender Marquisate, myst name would remain Raevender in honor of my parents. That also applied to my children and their children. Back to the pce, as the ce where my family would reside, we made the pce grandiose and majestic, stunningly beautiful, and styled in baroque architecture. Since no one was going to know yet, I decided to replicate one of the pces of my previous world for the design of the pce, the Pce of Versailles in France. But the totalnd area of the Pce of Versailles was too vast for a five-kilometer-radius, circr-walled city. So we only built from the parking lot to the garden, whose totalnd measured less than a square kilometer. By the way, the dragon statue at the dragon pool was based on Czarina''s true form. The area covered was in a rectangr shape and was surrounded by thirty-foot-tall, seven-foot-thick stone walls garrisoned by our skilled knights. In total, there were three walls defending the city. As for theyout of the city, it was nned into five parts. The first was the royal pce at the center, which divided the other districts into four equal parts. The residential district was in the northwest, where the citizens lived. The houses were grouped in blocks separated by the streets, with open spaces in the middle. Each block had a courtyard or two, depending on the urban nners and the residents. The industrial andmercial district at the southwest was the central business district, where products were crafted and sold. It was also the ce where warehouses and storage houses were located. Next was the luxurious district. As its name implies, it would be the ce where nobles and riches would reside and stay once the city had be the capital. But the area was still basically empty; it was up to them if they wanted to build an estate there. It would also be the ce where government officials resided. Thest sector was the entertainment and tourism district. That ce was where the dungeon gate and the adventurers'' guild were located. The recreational facilities were also located there, such as the red light district, the colosseum, theaters, libraries, parks, education, and more. Beyond the Inner Wall were the farms and pastures where horses and livestock could graze. Aside from the city, there had been multiple farming viges scattered throughout the vast in. The area one hundred meters from the wall''s circumference had been converted into a station for transportation vehicles. The area around the front gate was for carriages, while the back was the station for our new type of transportation. The roads within both ck walls, except for the farm roads, were paved with bricks. Upon entering the Outer Wall, thepact dirt road would then be changed into straight, solid pavement that would lead travelers all the way to the royal pce. Not only would the royal pce be my family''s residence, but it would also be the center of government for our nation. There would be buildings for government offices and ministries in the pce since there were many rooms, chambers, and buildings to spare. Clink! Clink! Clink!


    After minutes of strolling, I finally reached my destination. With the sounds of des shing ringing around, I found myself at the training grounds, surrounded by the knights'' barracks located in the southwestern portion of the pce. Aside from government offices, the military training would take ce in the pce. After our territory absorbed even more territories, we gained a lot of new recruits and transported half of them into this city for the purpose of popting it. The people who were currently training were our new recruits from newly acquired territories. The majority of them were young, around fifteen to twenty years old, so our veterans had been polishing their strengths, talents, and guts. While the youngsters had been through extensive training, the skilled ones had been exploring the dungeon, ying monsters, and farming EXPs. With ess to the dungeon, our knights were able to freely level up themselves without fear of death. But their dungeon crawling was limited to once a week to prevent as much bottleneck as possible. Around three o''clock in the afternoon, our knights were done with their monster ying, and they just entered the vicinity of the pce as they were marching their way to the barracks. There were around three hundred of them, all d in armor. As soon as they reached the training grounds, most of them went straight to the bathhouse for a good wash. Even though there were some who joined the training, there was one person who seemed to approach one of the pce''s four towers. Coincidentally, that was the same person I wanted to talk with. Since the knights moved here, that person had been making a habit of going to that tower after the training sessions. She was there to extend her training, so today I wanted to witness it personally before engaging in an interaction with her. "Let''s see what she will do." After I covered myself withplete invisibility, I began walking across the courtyard and began stalking that person.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
