Felix smiles, albeit a bit sadly, when he remembers Sadde. He wishes he had told Sadde he loved him.

We'll find them again. Or they'll find us.

Well, they have Milliways' resources and we have time. Might just have been a couple hours on their end.

Or might have been a year, or a millisecond, it's not really possible to know.

Yeah. Snuggle.

Naoh is extremely excited about sorcery, and the others are various levels of excited and willing to demonstrate this excitement.

Felix is glad to teach more sorcery (presuming he is authorized to do so). While also learning how-not-to-cause-diplomatic-incidents.

Sometimes he might need to be alone, but he will understand if all he gets is some quiet moments holding onto Kaede.

Well while in the wagons they don't have much in the way of personal space but when they stop at night they have Kaede's tent.

Small blessings.

And eventually they reach an even more Game-of-Thrones-y walled city. There is a line to get through the main gate.

Let's hope this city doesn't end up involved in a war involving all kingdoms. And zombies. Felix should really ask Kaede if zombies are a thing.

Well until he does he will remain in ignorance.

They're waved through, and it's more waiting until an enormous palace becomes visible in the distance as they pass through streets and plazas.

Impressive! Felix pays attention.

It is much cleaner than everywhere else, that's noticeable even from a distance, and when they finally reach it what they see is a whole square dedicated exclusively to the palace gates. Their situation is explained and in they go, and the inside of the palace walls is even more stunning than the outside: gardens, fountains, children playing naked in the lake, maidens eating fruit, the whole picture.

Pretty. 

(He is literally in a place with "maidens" in it!)

Presumably he has been around virgin girls before?

Well, yes. But they aren't subjected to the same sort of social constructs of a "maiden".

(It's a cultural shock, that is all.)

(Kaede explains that this is mostly a Bezanab thing, other places don't really have it.)

(Felix explains that it is something very... associated with some story genres and it feels surreal to visit a place where it's actually put in practice.)

(Well it's surreal that there are humans in different worlds like that, her suspension of disbelief has been shot to heck.)

(Her suspension of disbelief? Felix is the one visiting a Medieval Fantasy Land™!)

(Hey, at least Felix has the concept of a Medieval Fantasy Land, alternate universes are completely novel!)

(So much potential for cultural exchange! Alternate universes! Science Fiction! Comic books! Cuisine from at least four worlds!)

They soon reach the actual door to the palace and are told to wait in a sumptuously appointed waiting room while the diplomats go about their business.
