Sleeping On The Couch

The Griven delegation reached the Royal Palace of Othinia about an hour before sunset. 

This was the second palace Oriana had seen in her life, and due to that, she thought she would no longer be shocked no matter how the royal palace of another kingdom looked. She was mistaken.

Imposing—this was the first word that entered her mind.

As their carriages approached the entrance, they were greeted by a large sandstone gate, intricately designed with ornate carvings that depicted tales of the kingdom's history. Flanking the entrance gate were larger-than-life stone guardians, representing legendary warrior figures from the kingdom's folklore.
