The countryside is quite nice, it's not filled with a lot of people but with travelers here and there. Some in small groups some on their own. They are hosting a campfire where everyone has some to sit and is telling stories about their adventures. Someone is showing local children how to wield some weapons. Another is offering lodge, and stable for travelers and their animals.

I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
Hello villager. I enjoy spending time in the countryside, listening to the stories of adventures. It is a pleasure to watch common folk go about their days. It must make you humble to see all this, sir. Hmm, yes, perhaps. It is good to step away from the luxury of the castle. I see someone is offering lodge for travelers. Might you know where I can find some humble lodging? Hmm maybe a bit north of here further in the countryside!  Thank you. I see. You will be rewarded for your hospitality, good sir. What is it that you do in the village? Just harvesting crops out here, sir. Why do you ask? I like to know what my subjects are up to. I see some villagers are teaching children to wield swords over there. I thought you might be in the weapons trade. Eh, maybe I am, but only as a side gig. It's important work, villager! Don't take it lightly. These children will grown up to protect my vast empire once I am old and gray. I am honored, sir, that you are so grateful for grunt workers like us! I rose from peasantry just like you villager!  My mentor was a great knight, like those men huddled about telling stories. I do not forget my humble beginnings. As you shouldn't, your majesty! You are such a great man because of it!
