Rhaegan traveled through the Royal Capital, marveling at the sight of its beauty.
Everything was grandeur and magnificence.
Every building was magnificent, majestic, and beautiful. The streets were lined with trees bearing fruits of different color shades and sizes, making it seem like the city itself was a garden itself.
The roads were wide, bustling with people going about their daily activities.
Everywhere he looked, he saw intricate architecture, detailed carvings, and ornate decorations that spoke of the city's rich history and culture.
The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of music and laughter echoed from every corner. It was a city that seemed to have no end to its beauty and charm, and Rhaegan was glad to have the chance to experience it.
'Wonder if it would be beautiful if I suddenly kill everyone here. ha- ha- ha.'
He walked to a street vendor selling some sort of fruit, it was ripe and bright yellow.
"What is this?" He asked pointing at the finely shaped fruit.
"Oh, it's a mango." The shop owner happily said. "I take it, you're not from here good sir."
"Was it obvious?" Rhaegan asked, he extended his arm to grab a mango but then stopped and looked at the shop owner.
"Please go on. Take a bite if you are curious, it will be on the house."
"Thank you very much." Rhaegan took a piece and bit into it, the juice dribbled down his chin.
"Ah, how delicious," he exclaimed.
"I'm glad you like it, sir," said the shop owner politely. He was truly a polite man though. "And to answer your question, everyone from this Kingdom knows about this fruit. It's very common. So for someone who doesn't even know the name of it, it's quite obvious that you're not from around here."
Rhaegan nodded and wiped his chin with a handkerchief, "Yes, I am a traveler passing through. This is my first time in the Spring Kingdom, and I must say, it is quite impressive."
The shop owner smiled, "It is indeed a beautiful city. There's so much to see and experience here. Are you planning to stay long?"
Rhaegan shook his head, "Yes, I might be. I have some business to attend to here."
"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here," the shop owner said, handing Rhaegan another mango. "And if you need anything, feel free to ask."
"By any chance, do you know which way the Royal Academy is in?" Rhaegan politely asked. "I've heard quite a lot about it."
"Yes, of course," the shop owner replied. "The Royal Academy is just a few streets down that way," he pointed in the direction Rhaegan should go. "You can't miss it, it's a grand building with large pillars and a golden dome on top."
"Thank you very much," Rhaegan said, taking another bite of the mango. "I appreciate your help."
"It's my pleasure," the shop owner replied with a smile. "Enjoy your stay in the Spring Kingdom."
Rhaegan nodded and continued on his way, eating the delicious mango as he walked. He couldn't wait to see what other wonders the city had in store for him, but at the same time, his dark thoughts still lingered in the back of his mind.
He called a horse cart and traveled to the Royal Academy. It was indeed a few streets down.
His eyes bulged as he saw the large building, which was just like a palace, towering high above him. Its golden domes sparkled against the blue sky, reflecting light onto the white walls and marble floors below.
He approached the large front gate, where two guards stood. By just a look he was sure they were not ordinary guards but powerful ones.
'Well, it is expected.'
The guards looked at the man with suspicion in their eyes. After all, he was different. His skin color was darker and the way he dressed in the black cloak was suspicious as hell.
"State your name and purpose, traveler?" One of the guards asked, his blue eyes peering through the hood of Rhaegan's cloak.
Without answering anything, Rhaegan quickly searched his travel bag, a small side bag made of crocodile leather.
Seeing the sudden action, the guards became alert. They reached for their weapons, they could, after all, sense the man was not ordinary at all.
His power along with his looks and style only made it worse to trust the guy.
After rummaging through the bag, suddenly he grabbed a piece of paper from it. It was a letter signed and stamped with strange letters and symbols.
Rhaegan handed the letter to the guards, who looked at it with suspicion. One of them opened the letter and read it carefully, his eyes scanning the contents.
His eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Wait a second sir. Let us verify this." Said the guard.
"Of course, of course, do your duty," Rhaegan smiled and grabbed the second mango and began to eat it while the guard walked towards the table and grabbed a crystal ball from it.
The crystal was like a round bowl full of water, inside was just clear though. The holder could see the other side of the crystal just by looking at it. It was that much clear.
But the moment the guard injected his mana through it, the clear and transparent insides of the crystal changed as a blue color began to form deep with it. It swirled around the insides and suddenly became a solid color. The crystal was no longer visible. It was plain solid blue glass.
"Percival, what is it now!" An annoyed and old voice came through the blue crystal ball.
"Headmaster, this is important." Percival, the guard proceeded to read the content of the letter and after a few minutes, the time Rhaegan took to eat the mango also, the blue crystal changed its color to the old transparent one.
Percival walked to the dark skinned man and handed him the letter back, "Professor Rhaegan, welcome to the Grand Royal Academy."
