Chapter 27: Careless, Didn’t Dodge!
The wheels turned slowly, and Lette looked at the familiar yet strange street scenery with mixed emotions in his heart.
Emily was full of wonder, after all, the Holy City, as the largest and most prosperous grand city in the world, had so many magnificent and peculiar things that dazzled the eye.
But as the carriage continued to move, the surroundings gradually quieted down.
Clearly, they had left the bustling area where tourists and pilgrims stopped and entered the true core region of the Holy City.
"Your Highness, we've arrived."
Finally, the carriage came to a slow stop. Lette led Emily out of the carriage, and before their eyes was a small estate.
"Is this... your residence?"
Emily seemed very shocked. Although she came from a remote small place and her family had fallen into decline, she was still of noble birth, and naturally understood what the estate before her meant.
If it were in her hometown, there were plenty of desolate hills and wilderness to build estates as large as one could wish!
But here, which could be said to be the most prestigious location in the Holy City, could no longer be described as worth its weight in gold.
Let alone an estate, just having a foothold here was not something worldly power and money could achieve.
