The Royal Capital [Pt 1]

About a dozen guards were stationed around the main gate of the Royal Capital.

They often made rotations during their patrols in order to avoid focusing their attention solely on one spot.

This way, efficiency and security were guaranteed.

Even though it was inconceivable that anyone would launch an assault on this particular portion of the Eastern Kingdom where power was centralized, its level of security was quite well known.

Two of the Kingdom's three Grand Mages were currently residing in the Capital, and this place had the second highest concentration of powerful Magic Users and Martial Artists—the first being Ainzlark.

As a result, even the six guards who currently manned the main gate while their comrades went on patrol had nothing to do.

They yawned while staring into the night sky.

The gates were well fortified with luminous lamps, causing the entire area to shine with brightness.

All they could see before them was an empty road, no danger whatsoever.
