Chapter 264: The Season of Redemption (3)
A peaceful weekend morning.
Vikir walks out into the street.
The streets were bustling with people at midday.
On the terraces of cafes, ladies are chatting, businessmen are meeting with clients, and young people are walking arm in arm, laughing and talking about whatever they're having fun with.
As pretty women and handsome men walk busily, the surrounding eyes follow them for a few seconds and then turn to the front again.
The smell of flowers from a flower shop, sweet and savory from an egg bread shop.
From the railroad station ahead, where carriages rushed by with urgent news, came the clanging of hammers to announce the construction of an expansion.
"...."
Suddenly, Vikir stopped at the edge of the street.
Red brick buildings and narrow alleys between them.
At the narrow entrance, a line of Imperial Guard seals prohibited entry.
