Buying spree
There were about 40 men all clad in gold armor from head to toe surrounding the group. These were the kingdoms Royal Guards and their attire conveyed their status.
The boys tried to act tough and stand in front of the group of girls protectively but Lois and Beatrice pushed them away.
Beatrice just wanted to get a better view of Hao Xuan whereas Lois just wanted to see what would happen. Surely they wouldn't drag her into the fight.
The guards stood in silence for about 30 seconds or so until the ones in the front opened a pathway and a young man walked in. He didn't have the same armor on and the only 'gold' on him was a rapier on his waist.
He was about 6 feet tall with a lean build. With blond hair and 'pretty' features, he looked like a pretty girl cross-dressing as a boy.
From his looks and demeanor alone it was clear he wasn't an ordinary person. He had an aura of nobility and arrogance exuding from his body that few could match.
