This district was the birthplace of Grandma's Mo deceased husband, who was once renowned as the emperor's right-hand man. Arthur was surprised, as this place didn't exactly scream fancy.
Grandma Mo told him the story about the man who rose from the slums, fought in every arena and colosseum, and became crowned the strongest fighter. Then, the emperor offered him the position of being his right hand, and the man accepted.
The emperor's right hand quickly became the most famous man in the empire since his strength, wisdom, and kindness made him close to the public. However, most nobles in the realm deemed him unworthy because of his 'dishonorable heritage.'
"Dishonorable?" questioned Arthur with confusion, and to his surprise, Grandma Mo sneered as if the mere idea repelled.
"My man was a descendant of the ancient people, who had once ruled over this land before the current Imperial Family came and claimed it as theirs. Have you seen the four pillars?"
