Usually it would have been a stranger statement for Taiki to say he had only been to the city a couple of times, but right after the explanation of the palace being so high up, it makes sense.. It doesn't sound like it'd be easy to get down to the city where the people were from there.

So he nods at the next part of what Taiki says.

"Right. My father, and I'm sure the same goes for my aunt and all the Exalts before them.. They liked being that close to the people. So they could make sure to protect them the moment something would happen. And to make sure they would never forget that their foremost duty was to serve and protect those people." There's a hint of a smile on Inigo's face as he says it, even though he's looking at the sand he's working on rather than directly at Taiki. He doesn't have too many nice memories of his world, or even many memories of his father in general, but.. at least he can always find pride in how amazing all the Exalts had been.
