"I'm sorry, but there's quite a few people in your group and no one is allowed to roam these corridors unsupervised." He said. "Please, consider me your escort, not your warden."

Yet four Royal Guards stood on the four corners of the raised dais where the thrones stood, watching in silence at the guests.
