Chapter 11: The Royal Capital, Stolz City

After a few weeks of traveling, Kraftvoll and his company had transverse several cities and finally reached the royal capital, Stolz City. Unlike Schild city, Stolz City's territory was a lot bigger which is why it takes two full days to reach the castle in which the King resides, Feuersturm Castle.

Stolz City was the center of commerce of the whole Walkiria Kingdom. It has the most population among the 26 regions of the kingdom. Also, it was the most prosperous in terms of economy. All of the commodities that are unique in each region of the kingdom can be found here.

Before going to the castle, Earl Blaire decided to give his men a day off and give time for his daughter and Kraftvoll to relax a bit from the journey. Though this will make the King of the kingdom discontent, Earl Blaire valued the well-being of his companions.

The two kids do not want to leave the place where they stayed because the two of them are focused on taking care of the egg that they've found in the Valkyrie Forest.

"So the two of you want to stay here to wait for that egg to hatch, huh. The two of you are truly fortunate to find an egg of a dragon. It was a miracle that a dragon appeared in the region but for it to have brought egg was truly an event that truly astonished even me." The Earl casually said.

"If that egg is that dragon's offspring then you two are in luck, especially if it turned out male. We are lucky that it was a female dragon, otherwise even I would have a hard time fighting it."

A female dragon was considered significantly weaker than a male one. If the strength of these two genders can be compared then it would take a few dozens female dragons to beat a single male dragon.

It was truly a ferocious being, Kraftvoll and Belle were consider lucky. If it was a male dragon, then it would only take a few minutes for it to finish the bandits that were pursuing the two. This can only mean that the Earl will not be able to save these two because it will catch up to them earlier.

"Hey, you two. How about bringing that egg with you in the city? I will come with the two of you so the both you can rest assured that it will be not stolen from you." Earl Blaire suggested to the two. He was also tired of their journey and would like to have some relaxing time with his daughter.

"Oh, that's a great suggestion, dad! Let's go Kraftvoll!" Belle's face had undoubtedly shown a wonderful smile on it. She became a little closer to Kraftvoll after the incident inside the Valkyrie Forest.

They started wandering the marketplace area. The streets were full of people busy doing their own businesses. This city was truly the center of the kingdom's trade, because even the outer part of the territory, the businesses were considered robust.

Schild city can't be compared to this city. The outskirt of Schild city only had a few villages in it and the trade site was only in the urban areas.

But in Stolz city, the outskirts parts were still full of businesses and the majority of the merchants in the kingdom have made this city the central part of their operation.

This is why this city had the most population among the regions of the kingdom, many people come here aspiring to become the best and this is the best place to achieve that.

Even the greatest academy in the Holy Alliance, Verrater Royal Academy, can be found here in this city. This academy was well known that even the prodigies and geniuses of the other races of the Holy Alliance were coming here just to learn.

Kraftvoll and his company spent their time wandering in the places where they can do something leisurely. After they had spent the night, they started their journey to Feuersturm Castle first thing in the morning.
