The next day dawned, casting a golden glow across the grand estate of the Lyma family.
The family members gathered in the courtyard, their curiosity piqued by Theo's promise of a tour around the developing Lyma Capital. The tension from the previous night's discussions still lingered, but a sense of anticipation hung in the air.
Theo, flanked by Drius, stood before his family, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised by what you're about to see."
As the Lyma family members embarked on their tour, they were greeted by a city that was far more advanced and developed than they had expected.
The streets were clean and bustling with activity, the buildings sturdy and impressive, and the infrastructure well-planned. The city was a testament to progress and prosperity, and it left the family members in awe.
