"Why are we here?" Rin asked as she walked beside him on the training grounds of the old castle. This was the original Castle of the Dragon Monarch, but it's now known as the old castle.
The old castle wasn't abandoned, even though the entire Royal Family stopped staying there around a year ago. It was still used for many activities.
This was the place where Aditya brought slaves with the intention of turning them into loyal soldiers for the Istarin Empire. To this day, this tradition is still being upheld. But in place of Aditya, someone else was now in charge.
Even today, a high-ranked Military officer personally sees the recruitment of soldiers. Around 60% of those who gathered here today were slaves who were either brought or the Empire received from conquering other Empires.
