Chapter Five: Ramsdel, The Royal Capital

I’d been told it’d take us roughly ten days to get to the royal capital by carriage. Guess how long it took us to get there riding on Dramom’s back? Three hours.

“Mister Shiro! Look! Look!” Aina said excitedly as she pointed at the city in the distance.

It wasn’t even noon yet, but we were already almost there. I had to admit, Dramom sure was amazing. She’d even put up a barrier around us to protect us from the buffeting wind. I was really grateful for that, because I seriously had no idea how we would’ve managed to stay on her back for so long without it.

“Wow. So that’s the royal capital, huh?” I marveled.

“We can even see the castle from here, Mister Shiro!”

“Oh, hey, you’re right!”

“I wanna see what it’s like inside!” she said.

I couldn’t help chuckling at her innocence. “Sadly, I don’t think that’ll be possible. I know what you mean, though. I’d love to visit a castle at least once in my life.”

“Me too!”

The capital was way bigger than I’d expected, and it had a large white castle—the royal palace—standing proudly in the middle of it. I felt like I was in a fantasy movie and could hardly contain my excitement as I looked down at the castle that was surrounded by walls, with a row of fancy-looking mansions on the other side, which I assumed must have been where the nobles and richest merchants lived. Beyond that, there were a bunch of regular houses that sprawled outward from these mansions, giving me the impression that the wealthiest and most affluent lived nearer the palace, while the regular citizens resided closer to the outskirts of the city. Must have been nice to be born into a rich family, huh?

“Um, Mister Shiro...” Aina piped up.

“Hm?”

“Um, are you sure we should still be on little Su’s mama’s back?” There was a hint of concern in Aina’s voice as Dramom continued to fly toward the capital at breakneck speed. We were mere moments from being spotted, which would undoubtedly cause a panic among the cityfolk. They might even assume we’d come to lay siege to the city.

“You’re right, Aina. If we zoom in like this, the people of the capital will see us and get a big fright, won’t they?” I said. “We should land somewhere secluded and go the rest of the way on foot. Are you okay with that?”

“Yeah! I can walk lots if we need to!” the little girl said, taking a few deep breaths in through her nose to pump herself up. She seemed in full agreement with my plan, so I leaned forward to address our ride.

“Hey, Dramom! Could you land in that forest over there?” I yelled loudly so that she could hear me, and pointed to a forest not far from the capital.

“Understood, master,” she said, and did as instructed.

Once we were on the ground, Aina, Suama, and I climbed down from Dramom’s back and she morphed back into her human form.
