The night was deep, with most of the Royal Capital already peacefully sinking into the darkness.
Although lamps weren't considered a luxury, for most citizens of the Royal Capital, if not for working under the lights, burning oil and lighting lamps pointlessly was undeniably quite a disgraceful waste.
Only the wealthy living in the Upper City, on places like Redwood Avenue and Louther Arcade, would light their lamps all night long for some brightness, regardless of the cost.
And among the few "light zones" in the Royal Capital, the place with the most lamps was naturally the palace, at the heart of the Royal Capital.
However, after the palace quietly changed masters, most of those perpetually lit lamps were ordered to be turned off by the new master, with only one window still illuminated in the sleeping quarters at the rear of the palace.
Phew... Finally, almost done with the busy work.
