The land of Hinode (3)

Mars and the rest of the group stepped onto solid ground for the first time in a couple of days, Mars looked around, the whole port gave a 1700's japanese feeling with the buildings looking like something right out of a period drama, the clothes that people wore were also what Mars would call for 'old japanaes clothes' although he didn't remember the proper names for the clothes. After making sure that the former slave soldiers were following along Mars asked Hide

"how long until we reach the crown prince's places?"

"not long, there should be a couple of carriages here to pick us up... there they are"

Hide pointed over to three carriages which was pulled by pure black horses

"....neat"

"the color black is the symbol of the crown prince, likewise the color white is the symbol of the emperor"
