AS JIEUN AND HEESEUNG STROLLED THROUGH THE BUSTLING STREETS OF THE OLD CITADEL, the air was filled with a palpable sense of knowledge and ambition. The grand architecture, the sounds of scholarly debates echoing from the lecture halls, and the vibrant atmosphere of the city all spoke of a place steeped in intellect and aspiration.
Jieun turned to Heeseung with a smile, her eyes shining with a mix of awe and appreciation. 'It is a big and beautiful city, Ser Heeseung,' she said, her voice filled with admiration. 'And a beautiful world we live in. Look at all these minds thirsting for knowledge, the stories waiting to be written, and the dreams waiting to be realised.'
'Indeed, Crown Princess,' he replied, his voice carrying a touch of reverence. 'The Old Citadel is a testament to the power of education and the pursuit of wisdom. It is a place where ideas converge, where the greatest minds of the realm gather to shape the future.'
They came across a bustling school where children of various ages were engrossed in their studies. The air buzzed with the energy of eager young minds hungry for knowledge.
At the sight of them, a small smile spread on her lips. 'Children here begin their education at a young age,' she remarked, her voice carrying a touch of admiration. 'They are always eager to learn, their curiosity guiding them towards a brighter future. It fills my heart with hope to see their thirst for knowledge.'
Continuing their journey, Jieun's gaze turned towards the school's courtyard, where a group of youngsters engaged in spirited discussions and demonstrations. She paused for a moment, deep in thought, before speaking again. 'But the children here are primarily nurtured to become physicians and masters,' she explained. 'If any of them aspire to pursue a different path, such as becoming a knight, the North provides excellent training grounds. Some of the realm's finest knights hail from the North, after all.'
A hint of curiosity sparkled in Jieun's eyes as she turned towards Heeseung. 'Did you not train in the North, Heeseung?' she asked, her tone filled with genuine interest. 'It is said that the North instills discipline and valor in its warriors. The skills acquired there are unmatched, shaping knights into formidable protectors of the realm.'
