Sneaky

"I'm sorry, Miss. But I cannot let you enter," the castle guard apologized to Laina. 

She furrowed her eyebrows in shock. But the former crown princess kept her calm. Lucky for her, traveling to Dracona was simpler with the use of portals. She was close to seeing Dante. 

But since she was no longer the Crown Princess of Kinshearth, she could not enter through the main gate of the castle. 

"If you would be so kind as to inform Da- King Dante that I am here to see him. I'm sure he will clear this up."

The royal guard did not respond to her. He simply carried on with his duty. Laina clenched her jaw as the smile disappeared from her face. She had to find a way to get in. No matter what it took. 

She walked away from the entrance as she thought of a plan. She touched the pendant for a moment. Contacting him would solve the issue in the blink of an eye. 

"But where's the fun in that?" Laina chuckled to herself.
