Sunken Palace, former site of the Constantinople Thieves Guild.
"...So six years ago, it was by hiding in this reservoir that the citizens of Constantinople escaped the hands of the Seljuk heretics until our great Storm Empress revived the Solomon..."
The guide led the next batch of tourists on board, into the Sunken Palace. Aske watched from outside, choosing not to go in.
He began to suspect whether he was getting old, as frequently reminiscing about the past and contemplating life is a habit typically associated with the elderly.
Yet just by standing outside, memories of his initial encounter with Mia involuntarily surfaced in Aske's mind. At that time, she was still a little kid, casually playing with a blade, dismissively answering his questions in the Thieves Guild.
Now she has become his woman.
Ah, life's unpredictability.
Half an hour later, he took the subway into the city's mountains to visit more of the places he once walked through.
