At the dawn of his second day at Ramel City, two royal guards came to the inn and specifically called for Arthur. The parasite was talking with Shen Shen, who woke up quite early.
The guards were adamant on only bringing alone Arthur but when he gave them a chilling glare, they swallowed back their words and quietly led the way.
Fariya didn't leave her room neither did Arthur call for her as he's enough to protect Shen Shen in case something bad happens. This could go in two ways; one, they obediently call the master of the clan and the deal is properly done, and two, they try to forcefully take the Zen Treasure from him.
Zaarae still hasn't shown up but Arthur was confident in his ability to fend off against himself even if those sky-piercing protectors made a move. The guards walked at a moderate speed and in half an hour or so, they reached the entrance of the royal castle.
