The Maya Kingdom.
More than a nation, the Maya Kingdom resembled an alliance of several cities, lacking a true monarchy.
Instead, a city lord was elected to serve as the nation's king through a voting process.
Leo and Lilith arrived quietly at one of its cities, attracting little attention.
Walking along the broad streets, Leo looked around.
He had visited this city in his past life, so everything seemed both familiar and foreign to him.
The exquisite architecture, people dressed in lavish clothes, different languages, even various races, all lent the city a mixed sense of beauty.
Leo and Lilith first checked into an inn.
Then, they approached a tall building adorned in gold, with guards in white knight uniforms standing rigidly at the entrance.
Leo walked to a smaller door beside it and rang the bell.
A portly man with a monocle came out.
