Evening, Milan.
Putting aside religious status, Milan has been, for quite a long period in history, the most splendid jewel on the Apennine Peninsula, and even in all of Europe, sought after by the Holy Roman Emperor through several expeditions to Italy in order to clutch this gem in his palm.
This also included Losa's father's feudal lord, Emperor Henry of Great Germania, from the Hohenstaufen dynasty.
However, as Losa and Lavinia rode through the city, they found it unexpectedly desolate.
The farmers were in tatters and scattered like birds at the sight of the two riding high horses, unlike those in Piedmont who would dare to stand by the roadside and converse with them.
In the world of Yesterday's Giant Ship, the entire Lombardy Region, including Milan, was, like the Veneto Region, a crown territory of the Habsburg Family, but during the German unification wars, under pressure from the joint forces of England and France, it was forced to grant independence.
