Rhythm of The Capital's Bells

Castlebourne.

Telmarath.

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

A soldier guarding the Castlebourne gate spoke loudly, informing everyone when he saw Prince Edmund's arrival at Telmarath.

The prince came dressed in the royal family's typical white suit with a white furry coat and gold color cloth with a crowned lion crest, looking charming among the crowd of city folk on the move.

He came not alone but with ten cavalrymen assigned to escort Edmund to Castlebourne. Edmund's position in the Telmarath-Northcrest war was replaced by Harold Ivo.

Now, it was Harold Ivo who led the army after Edmund captured Downfall in a four-day siege. When Downfall was taken by Telmarath, it opened the way for them to attack various places in Northcrest.

The three-meter-high Castlebourne gate made of thick iron opened, welcoming Prince Edmund to come following Duke Howard's previous request.
