Chapter 38: Countess

Leaving the library with her Guards and attendants, Asakura Akatsuki first took an Inner City shuttle and got off at North Gate Station. She then hired a carriage to leave the city, heading for her good friend Christina Fortin's Splendid Manor.

Splendid Manor wasn't far from Yulang City. It was nearly twice as close to the main city as the Li Family's North Mountain Manor. Of course, the two estates were not on the same side of the city. If you were to draw a line between them on a map, it would pass directly through the Holy Protection Palace in the heart of Yulang City's Inner City—one to the northeast, the other to the southwest.

In terms of sheer size, number of buildings, and amenities, Splendid Manor far surpassed North Mountain Manor.
