The Path of Glory wasn’t created to mistreat families far from the capital. It was created so the royal family could distinguish who was on their side.0

Sefira had never been chosen before, so it wasn’t recorded in historical texts. However, the other noble families knew that if they simply waited comfortably, the royal family would send a carriage for them.2

For example, the kingdom’s strongest family, the Browning family, received three luxurious carriages a day before the Path of Glory began. The crown prince’s carriage, the second prince’s carriage, the third prince’s carriage… The head of the Browning family only needed to choose the carriage of the prince he supported and ride it.0

Other families also chosen by the princes had the same opportunity to make a choice, though the timing varied. Some families received a carriage on the day of the summon, others, two days later. There were even cases where the carriage barely arrived on the last day. 0

If the carriage arrived that late, how would they reach the royal palace in time? It was simple. By using magic. They were breaking the rules by riding a mount anyway, so why would they bother honoring a rule about not using teleportation?0

The royal family could break the law however they pleased. The carriages themselves had teleportation magic infused into them. Thus, instead of traveling by road, they teleported instantly to the capital within one second, no matter where they were in the kingdom. This was the absurd secret hidden within the Path of Glory.0
