Book 3: Chapter 2
The imperial Capital Versailles was a city without walls.
Positioned at a slightly elevated basin were vast and beautiful streets. Looking down from the top of the hill, one could see the entire beautiful scenery unobstructed.
At the heart of the city was the Imperial Palace Le Brane.
From the top view, the simple palace layout was portrayed by a large cross with well organised pathways, dividing it into four corners with four small courtyards to the North, South, East and West and a garden in the middle.
The palace was not only the residence for royalty, but was also the headquarters where military and domestic affairs were handled.
Surrounding the palace were the private estates of the nobles, regardless of those holding territories nearby or those situated far away.
