The guards proceeded to open the Doors at the servant's signal as I watched the servant fix his collar, finally recalling why he seemed familiar.
'Oh! Now I remember! He's the guy who welcomed us yesterday. He's the Emperor's direct servant if I'm not wrong...'
He seems SO tired... there are dark circles under his eyes... Being the Emperor's servant must be tough if you risk life just by giving a simple message...
"... Fuuhhh..."
'Hm?'
The soft exhalation of the Prince reached my ears then, only allowing me to see his displeased expression before the full opening of the Doors.
"Announcing, His Highness, Crown Prince Zeleskiaz Reynold Di Frotschter, enters at His Excellency's call along the Gracious Guest of this Palace, Lady Marianne Elise Sylfinnier."
Pulled by the already moving Prince, we walked inside as the announcement was said.
