Alryne, the capital city (5)

As the first rays of sunlight broke over the horizon, casting a warm glow across the waking landscape, the hustle and bustle of society came to life. In the inn's cozy dining hall, Alfraed relished the opportunity to savor a delightful array of breakfasts shared with his companions. The aroma of freshly baked bread and sizzling sliced meats filled the air, mingling with the cheerful chatter of the people he held dear.

He felt a deep appreciation for Lisa's subordinate, whose knack for securing reputable accommodations at surprisingly affordable rates had made the journey all the more enjoyable. Thanks to their efforts, each member of Alfraed's group, especially the children, was able to unwind in comfort and drift off to restful sleep after a long day of adventures.

Across the table, Alfraed turned to Callum, curiosity sparkling in his eyes. "How were the children yesterday?" he inquired, leaning in slightly.
