In the center of the Canghong Empire, a convoy was moving on the road. The carriages were carrying some oriental specialties, including silk, porcelain, tea and other items.

In order to avoid trouble, Loran Hill, disguised as a businesswoman, recruited this group of people when passing through a big city.

The reason was simple: in an eastern city, she had encountered several troublesome young nobles. Upon seeing this beautiful young woman, these young men first approached her to chat her up, then repeatedly inquired about her background, and when they learned she was traveling alone, their behavior became increasingly outrageous.

Although Roland Hill wasn't afraid of such a person given his strength, he was still a bit annoying, like a fly. In the end, he simply revealed his true identity, saying that his chamber of commerce had been commissioned by the elven princess to go to the East for trade and had just returned.

With the wind chime pendant provided by Aitesi as proof, several large chambers of commerce with elven backgrounds guaranteed Loran Hill's identity and helped her find people. In this way, with the cover of guards and entourage, the girl's travel between the empires became easy and convenient.

"The Xuanhua Palace is ahead, Miss Lacey." An elf on horseback came to the car window and reported in a low voice.

"Okay, I understand." Inside the carriage, Loran Hill looked out the window at the city built of white stone in the distance, and an elegant demeanor came towards him.

Recalling the geography knowledge he learned in Emenas, Loranhill repeated the description of the city in the book in his mind.

After marrying the young elf queen Titania, Yalin was very fond of her and loved her, but as an elf, Titania was not adapted to life in a human city.

In order to provide his lover with a comfortable and relaxing place, Yalin gathered people and built a small white city more than 20 miles away from the royal capital.

The snow-white rocks formed the scattered walls and towers on the outside, while inside were planted with various trees, flowers and plants of the elves, and clear lakes with flowing water were dug. Maids from the elves were also present to accompany Titaneya.

This is a royal holiday residence, a garden city. Seven large trees are planted in a circular arrangement, each taller than the next, like a spiral of blooming flowers. Palaces and pavilions, like treehouses, cling to the trees, dotting the landscape. At night, these small palaces glow orange and yellow like fireflies, illuminating the beautiful city.

In the past, successive empresses would often host banquets here, inviting the empire's noble ladies to gather, bond, or sort out issues among the nobility. However, after the current emperor ascended the throne, the palace gradually became vacant.

The new queen, Lily Esther, was not from a noble family and had little experience in hosting banquets. Furthermore, she preferred to stay by her lover's side and was reluctant to face the unfamiliar and scheming ladies of the empire. Slowly, the place returned to its original tranquility.

Now, Loran Hill and his group were about to arrive at the empire's capital, Titaneia, and finally saw this palace that served as an outpost on the road.

The road leading to the White Palace was guarded by guards, so the convoy could only pass by and look at this beautiful city from afar.

The white door was tightly closed, and the flowers and vines carved on it revealed a faint shadow in the sunlight, which showed a kind of tranquil and natural beauty unique to elves. This beauty, combined with the magnificent white stone carvings, filtered out the delicacy and fragility of the elf style, revealing a magnificent atmosphere.

Built during the heyday of the empire, the palace still retains the openness and confidence of that era.

"I kind of want to go inside and take a look." Ye Ling leaned out of the car window and looked at the white palace through the glass.

"Maybe there is a chance if we can meet Lily this time." Loran Hill touched the hair behind Ye Ling, and the little guy sat back in his seat reluctantly.

"Lily is the queen now..." She lay on the small table, murmured with her head tilted.

"It feels so unreal, he's almost the same age as me." Ye Ling said what he was thinking.

"This is time, real and ruthless." Loran Hill pulled the white gauze curtains and leaned back in his seat to rest for a while.

Recently, she had learned a lot of news in the major cities she passed by, including some about the empire, some about the grand expedition a few years ago, and some conflicts between the nobles and the civilians.

Even Loran Hill felt a wave of fatigue when faced with this complex information. The empire was now a tangled mess, with various factions rising after the emperor's passing. While the empire's decline was a good thing for Clancy, such a chaotic situation was not what the young woman had hoped for.

At least I hope that the empire can become a boost to human civilization in the future, rather than a drag.

Rubbing his temples, Loran Hill gradually forgot his recent troubles and began to take a nap. Hundreds and thousands of years had passed, so a few months or years wouldn't make a difference. Might as well get some sleep.

Thinking of this, the girl hugged the fluffy daisy that felt like a warm pillow, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

The October wind, with a hint of chill, blew across the countryside outside the imperial capital, Titaneia. The green grass shivered in the cold wind. The main roads that were once bustling with traffic now became somewhat deserted. The martial law in the imperial capital had never been lifted.

"Which chamber of commerce are you from?"

As they were about to enter the city, elite guards wearing red cloaks stopped the convoy and shouted something.

"Hello, we are members of the Lagetis Chamber of Commerce. We have recently returned from the East and would like to enter the Imperial Capital to trade."

A young elf in a white, fitted jacket stepped forward. His refined demeanor and words commanded respect from the guards. After all, the elves had once been half the masters of this city. Although the empire had undergone restructuring, the lingering inertia of the past remained. Rare and handsome elves indeed enjoyed better treatment within the empire.
