Davis and Aila went alone to the capital of the Golden Radiance Empire after leaving the sanctuary. They had basically sneaked out, only informing Mingzhi and Stella for security purposes.
They journeyed in a flying boat, witnessing many sights.
Below them, the world stretched in vast layers of color and motion. Rivers gleamed like silver veins threading through lush lands. Golden-hued mountain peaks and ranges rose and fell. Cities passed beneath them in bursts of life, some adorned with radiant formations that shimmered like constellations.
Aila leaned against the railing more than once, her eyes reflecting the ever-changing scenery. Davis stood beside her, his gaze calm, occasionally shifting but never lingering too long, as his focus was only on Aila.
She was cheery and excited, but her new aura from the improvement of her physique also made him feel peaceful. He knew it was because of the Serene Spring Cherry Lotus.
