"The king has arrived, open the gate!" shouted one of the soldiers guarding the gate.

Four soldiers ran over in a hurry, their hands pulling the gate-opening lever with all their might. There was a rumbling sound as the magnificent gates opened, krieett kriet as if welcoming the arrival of the leader.
