The Palace

A few minutes later, a man walked out of the palace.

He seemed to be moving freely. The soldiers on guard only glanced at him briefly without trying to block him.

He was probably about Rose's age, wearing a suit with a blue tie.

He was as tall as Aldric but somewhat thinner, it was obvious that he wasn't the type to lift weights.

His hair was neat while his face looked serious.

His eyes were staring at Rose's car.

When she saw him, Rose opened the car door and said to Aldric, "that's the guy, come on down!"

Aldric got out of the car quickly and approached Rose who was waiting beside her car door.

He observed the man in the suit, Arthur, as the latter had also observed him though only briefly.

"Rose, is he the one?" the man asked when they arrived near them.

He looked at Aldric again, hesitating at last when he saw he was even younger than him.
