Chapter 273.3
Six carriages, which stand out just briefly by their sizes and glamor, have turned up in rows to the street where the best dress and jewelry shops in the city were clustered. It didn’t take long before the carriages dominated the whole street, which was fairly narrow, since only a selected number of people ever visited such a place.
Everyone, including those who were walking past the street and those who were getting on and off from their carriages, stopped on their tracks as they marveled at the parade of carriages before their eyes.
“Where are those carriages from? Have the entire family come out for an outing?”
“Good gracious! I think they are carriages from a royal family.”
“Ah. They really are!”
Some of the crowds recognized the coat of arms on the carriage representing the Hashi Kingdom.
A number of retinues alighted in rows from the opened doors as soon as the carriages came to a full stop. The armed escorts who wore epaulets that showed their rank as warriors on their shoulders, formed a circle around the two bigger carriages with their backs against them. In the meantime, attendants installed the portable stairs right in front of the doors.
Curious bystanders all had their gazes fixed on the rare sight happening before their eyes.
‘Who could it be?’
