Meanwhile, the electric car Fu Lin was on finally arrived at the Capital of the Fu Empire.

As the man watched behind the curtains, a city made out of ancient architecture was spread out before his view, one of which was overflowing with grand scale and sheer beauty.

Classy establishments and nobles' residences filled each side of the streets. Its most significant characteristic was the use of timber framework combined with some stone carving. Colored glaze roofs, windows with exquisite applique design and beautiful flower patterns on wooden pillars reflect the high level craftsmanship and their rich imagination(1).

Around it, various small to large villages surrounded the capital. Beyond them were outer walls that easily reached twenty meters in height extending around the capital to protect it from external forces.

The view simply made one gasped in admiration.

Fu Lin did not expect any less from the Capital of the Fu Empire that was once said to be the richest city across the continent.

I have to find information about the Xing Dynasty, and visit their country soon.

Hopefully, this body's father is a ruler that is easy to be reasoned with. If not, I will have to find more complicated ways to get in contact with my mission target.

Fu Lin knew that his return to the Capital was the Emperor's own intention to protect him from their enemies. That's why Fu Lin wasn't sure if he, the Crown Prince of the Fu Empire, would be allowed to visit the neighboring countries without any valid reason.

Drown in his thoughts, the electric car finally arrived at the Imperial Palace.

The impressive front gates of the palace opened up and they smoothly entered inside. From a distance, Fu Lin could see the pair of long lines that the maidservants and manservants made, all of their heads bowed deeply.

As the chauffeur notified him of their arrival, Fu Lin alighted from the carriage and was welcomed by a eunuch.

"Welcome back, your highness, the Imperial Crown Prince Fu Lin." The old man said, however his sentence did not stop there, "The Emperor awaits your audience immediately."

Now? Suddenly?

"I understand. Lead the way."

The head eunuch quickly brought him away, two generals followed their trail. They passed by the glittering passageways designed with high pillars and high ceilings, dragon carvings made out of gold were deeply ingrained into the wood frame.

After several minutes of silent walk, the group finally entered the Imperial Audience Chamber.

Upon entering, Fu Lin had to stop himself from gawking at the sheer magnificence of this room to avoid embarrassing himself.

Even packing several hundred people inside would not make the room feel crowded. The high ceiling and the surrounding walls were a predominantly red color, with golden decorations as highlights. Numerous chandeliers which hung from the ceiling were made of precious stones of all colors, and they emitted a fantastic, dreamlike radiance.

In the center of this room that was tinted in red and gold, there was a flight of stairs about ten steps high. Atop these stairs were a pair of gigantic throne, carved out of a single piece of large gold. The one on the right was bigger in size and had more decorations on the left.

Fu Lin already knew that the one on the right belonged to the Emperor, while the left belonged to the Empress.

A huge number of the Emperor's subjects, from his prime ministers to high-ranking nobles, had arrived earlier and taken their position to line up on either side of the humongous chamber.
