Almost three hours.

I had to admit, I was quite impressed. I had set the task on a whim, as a punishment for the entire Irade debacle, and yet Ms. Kang had outdone herself.

The castle took inspiration from gothic architecture, with its high ceilings, flying buttresses and pointed arches. It looked very much like an old, Eurpoean church. Except, unlike those, it used marble and glass in some places, to amplify the "flying castle" effect. For example, the entire floor was made of glass, so that people could simply look down and see that they were thousands of miles up in the air.

Of course, they couldn't do this on the upper levels. However, Ms. Kang had taken that into account, and had worked with the architect to bring out the full glory of the glass floor with the floor plan.
