The guard nodded, and they six escorted Valgius and Sophie through the city, and toward a castle. Upon seeing just the outside, Valgius' jaw dropped. This place was bigger and grander than anything he'd ever seen. Once inside, Valgius thought he was gonna explode from the overload of sights. However, the guards kept the two moving at a brisk pace. One of the guards, along the way, had snatched Sophie's knife from Valgius. The two eventually reached a tall door that was magnificently decorated with gold and silver trim. "The Kuri Royal Family wished to see you two." the guard said, motioning them through the door.
