The moon shone brightly that night, casting its silver glow upon the bustling streets of the city. Lanterns flickered along the roadside, their warm orange flames dancing in rhythm with the soft night breeze. Merchants closed their shops one by one, while travelers, nobles, and common folk alike wandered through the streets in search of late-night food and comfort.
Inside the grand Royal Restaurant, the air was fragrant with the aroma of food,many vegitarian dishes, and freshly brewed tea. The walls were decorated with embroidered silken drapes, glowing lanterns, and jade ornaments that reflected the soft light. The polished floor shimmered faintly under the moonlight streaming through wide windows. The hum of conversations, the clinking of cups, and the faint strum of a zither being played in a distant corner created an atmosphere of warmth and refinement.
