Chapter 520 - 13.18
They arrived at the Capital City an hour later. Little Jean was awed with literally everything he saw. From the bustling city, tall buildings, horses, and carriages around. The city was also filled with crowds wearing colorful dresses and hats walking at the side of the street. Apparently, colorful hats were the trend in the Empire nowadays.
"Uwaaa, Big brother, it’s so amazinggg!" Little Jean squealed out of joy. Maximillien smiled and nodded.
Eau Saumont City was the capital of this Archduchy, and it was well maintained and prosperous thanks to the effort of the previous Archduke, his dad Archduke Raoul Eau Saumont.
Maximillien had been trying to at least maintain the city. He hadn’t intended to build anything yet, because it might create controversy and affected people’s opinion about him.
He was exhausted every day because he had to handle many documents. But he was satisfied when he saw Little Jean looked so happy with the city. At least, his effort wasn’t in vain.
"Big brother, when I’m older, I want to live in the city!" Little Jean exclaimed.
Maximillien chuckled and looked at their left side of the carriage.
"Look at the La Fleur Academy on your left, Jean," Maximillien pointed. Little Jean darted his eyes and saw the grandeur academy gate and the big building with art noveau design. There were plenty of students coming in and out with their academy uniforms.
"Who are they, Big brother?"
"They’re the students of La Fleur Academy. When you’re seventeen, you’ll be eligible to enter the academy as long as you pass the test. If you want to live in the city, then you’ll have to live in this academy first," Maximillien explained.
Little Jean nodded. He seemed to have something in his mind, and he turned his head at his Big brother, "Big brother, if Jean lives in the city, will Big brother also live with Jean?"
