SSS-Ranked Skill in a New Filthy World-Chapter 83 The Royal Palace [Part 1]

Roman’s eyes were glued to the windows of the carriage as it passed through different buildings. The capital was different from the village.

He and Anya had switched seats earlier so he could get a good look around.

The buildings here were made out of stone, unlike his home back in the village, which was made of wood. Since it was still early, it wasn’t as busy as it should have been, but still, Roman enjoyed looking around.

"Do you think there’s a chance the Queen would give us a place to stay in the Royal Palace?" Anya asked.

"I have no idea, but if she did, then we’ll politely reject; it’s better to stay here in the middle district or in the upper district; life in the Royal Palace would be hard, and since we’re commoners, we are not used to living like that," Amelia replied.

"Still, we’ll have servants serving us and obeying my commands," Anya chuckled.

"You’re looking for an excuse to be lazy."

"What do you think, Roman?" Anya asked.

"I won’t be with you, so I have no idea, but I also don’t think staying in the palace would be the best idea. Staying in the middle district would be perfect though. Look at all these beautiful houses," Roman replied, not looking in their direction.

Roman continued looking outside till they arrived at a gate, and once they passed through it, he noticed the changes. They were now in the upper district.

The streets were much nicer, the houses were bigger, and everything looked fancier.

Few people were walking around and even the people walking around wore nicer clothes too, and the air even smelled a little sweeter, filled with the scent of flowers from nearby gardens. It felt like a completely different world compared to the village he was in.

Their carriage rolled slowly along a wide stone road, heading toward the Royal Palace, but they still hadn’t gotten to the district where the top noble families stayed.

After a little more traveling, they finally reached it.

This area was even quieter. Only a few mansions stood here, each one sitting on large pieces of land, surrounded by tall fences and beautiful gardens.

The mansions looked old but strong, built with fine stone and decorated with grand balconies and colorful flags. It was easy to tell that the families living here were powerful and rich.

There were still lots of empty lands, and the distance between each of the mansions was enough to fit more mansions.

Beyond those grand mansions, the Royal Palace came into view, towering above everything else like a shining jewel.

The carriage continued till they reached the gates of the palace, and soon it was opened, and the carriage went in and continued moving before finally stopping.

Roman stepped out of the carriage, and in front of him were guards, royal guards all dressed in the same armor covering their bodies and even helmet covering their faces.

Roman finally took his eyes away from the guards and faced the palace.

His eyes grew wide, staring at the Royal Palace in awe. The building was huge, with tall white pillars standing at the entrance, each pillar decorated with small, beautiful carvings.

The palace itself was bright and shiny, with tall, pointed roofs that glittered in the sunlight. Flags in deep red with the emblem of a lion hung from the balconies, gently waving in the breeze, adding color to the grand structure.

The courtyard in front of the palace stretched wide, filled with green bushes that had been carefully cut into perfect shapes.

There were several fountains scattered around.

Statues of queens from the past stood proudly in one corner of the garden, their stone faces looking serious and important.

Roman had no idea what the present Queen looked like so he couldn’t tell which of the two statues that sat at the end was the Queen.

Around the courtyard, more royal guards stood perfectly still in neat rows. Their shiny armor sparkled in the light, and their swords were strapped tightly to their sides.

Every little detail, from the gold designs on the palace walls to the neatly arranged flowers in the garden, showed just how rich and powerful the Royal family was.

Everything was so grand and perfect, it made him feel small, but he wasn’t like everyone.

Roman was from a modern world, so to him, the Queen was just going to be like a president, except he could get executed for speaking to in rudely, but that couldn’t happen to him.

Roman pushed the thoughts he had away; he was sure he wouldn’t just be meeting the Queen but other important figures who would all have the same goal in mind: to turn him into a breeding machine.

If this was a non-magical world, then he would happily accept it as long as he got to sleep with and impregnate different beauties and do anything he wanted, but this was different.

He had a mission, even though he could get stronger just by having sex, he still needed to learn magic.

As Roman stood there staring, one of the royal guards started walking toward them.

The guard moved with firm, steady steps. When the guard stopped in front of them, she reached up and took off her helmet.

She was a beauty with short brown hair; her face was serious but not unfriendly.

"You must be Roman and this is your family," she spoke. "I am Selene of the Royal Knights. Welcome to the palace. Please, follow me"

Roman gave a small nod. Amelia and Anya who had just stepped down from the carriage behind him, also nodded quietly.

She turned around, put her helmet back on, and began walking towards the palace door.

"I thought it wouldn’t happen, but I’m getting nervous," Amelia spoke, and Roman couldn’t help but laugh.

"We haven’t even seen the Queen, why are you getting nervous?"

"That’s exactly why we don’t even know if she’s a kind person or not," Amelia whispered the last part in Roman’s ears since the guard was in front of them.
