The carriage took Hugo to the port in the north. Not the port used by the masses but the one that belonged to the navy.
To reach there, the carriage must pass the restricted area called the Bideford Arsenal.
Hugo's curiosity was piqued. He glanced outside to see this famous place, which rumours had painted as the heart of Ryntum's military power.
He adjusted the curtain. His eyes scan the surroundings, hoping to see something unique.
However, the scenery he sees is just like any other part of the city. Nothing new.
Of course, the true value of this place wasn't in its exterior. It was in the secrets it housed, the things they manufactured.
Hugo had no way of learning anything just by peeking through the window.
That's why the military has no concerns about Hugo glimpsing the area.
Eventually, the carriage came to a stop.
Hugo was immediately greeted by a massive ship anchored at the dock.
"I guess that's the ship I'll be boarding," he said slowly.
