Treatment at the City Gate

"No, no. I'm sorry. Please, don't take my earlier actions to heart." The guard's heart warmed at her forgiving nature. 

Unlike the arrogant and haughty misses he saw, the girl exuded a faint aura that made separated her from the masses. Moreover, the aura wasn't one of blind arrogance, but majesty.

Truly a noble miss.

He couldn't help but curse himself for being blind. How had he missed her noble aura earlier?

But this wasn't the guard's fault.

Princess Qamari was afraid of drawing too much attention and had purposely suppressed her aura. If one wasn't particularly searching for it, then they would never notice it.

"Help! Someone help me! My sister! My sister needs medical aid!" 

Right at this moment, the panicked shout of a noble young man pierced through the amiable atmosphere and reverberated at the South-west gate.
