Feeling sorry for them

Aries and Roman traveled to the Imperial Palace in silence. To Roman's surprise, when they reached the gates of the imperial palace, it opened for them without being stopped to check who it was.

"Do they know?" Roman wondered, keeping his eyes on the knights guarding the gates, who were supposed to keep the security tight. 

"No." Aries shrugged, not a bit surprised by it. "They welcome everyone in here."

His brows creased, looking back at her in disbelief. "You can never know if the ones entering are coming with ill intention."

"I know, right?" she chuckled briefly. "Normally, the place where the king lives is the most secured place in the kingdom or in an empire. However, the Haimirich Imperial palace has the most relaxed security. The Marquess' estate had tighter security than the palace."
