Chapter 334: The Hidden Light Village
Diana reclined in her chair and gazed at the scenery of the Land of Birds.
She was reminded of the transience of travel after spending days in her carriage—a simple separation of distance encased in the peace of nature.
Her last few days had been spent cooped up in her office while authorities conducted an investigation on her immaculate gains.
Being the richest woman in the world often came at a hefty price. It was nice that she could take some time off.
As she reached the borders, she exited her carriage and walked toward the guards. She was honestly surprised that the country she'd invested in even had a border patrol.
And the seriousness of their security was measured high; Arthur had not overstated their significance.
The initial security check took a while. She turned over her papers, which appeared to have been examined by every eye. They carefully investigated her past before she was allowed to go to the next checkpoint: questioning.
"What's your reason for visiting?" a guard asked.
"I'm on a little vacation and am trying to pay the nation's head a visit."
While she was being honest, the guards exchanged perplexed looks. "You mean feudal lord, Toki?"
"No, not her..." she said, feeling a tad irritated. She had been at the borders for almost two hours now, and she didn't like waiting. "It's a man, for crying out loud."
