Chapter 153 - 152. Arriving at Rosefall Kingdom
In the misty expanse of the Rosefall Sea, a colossal ship cut through the waters, heading steadily toward the land. The crew on board moved with practiced efficiency, following the command of their leader.
"Dock the ship at Rosefall Kingdom," Mana ordered, her voice carrying authority as she watched the port draw closer. The looming landmass stood in stark contrast to the vast ocean behind them.
Tilting her head in curiosity, Mana remarked, "I thought this was a floating island."
Beside her, Mathilda explained, "They probably anchored it due to the turmoil in the kingdom."

Meanwhile, inside a much smaller boat, Tyler, Lily, and Isadora navigated through the same waters, their destination the same—Rosefall Kingdom.
"The islands aren’t floating. That’s good for us. We can sneak in more easily," Isadora Nightkiss noted, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Tyler unfolded the map of Rosefall Kingdom that Isadora had produced. The kingdom was an impressive sight, composed of five smaller islands surrounding a large central island. Each smaller island was connected to the central one by wide, sturdy bridges. It was clear from the map that Rosefall Kingdom was no minor nation; it was an expansive country with 55 cities and a population of 75 million. Each city was ruled by a governor, and each island had its own minister. The prime minister served as the second most powerful figure in the kingdom, just below the king.
Tyler, wanting to gather more information without revealing his lack of knowledge about the labyrinth, subtly signaled Lily.
"To think that the labyrinth would be here," Lily sighed, feigning familiarity as she glanced at the map.
"Yes... 1,000 years ago, when they founded this kingdom, they decided to build the capital above the labyrinth," Isadora explained, unaware that she was divulging critical information.
