Emperor Zaellis appearing in the capital did not go unnoticed by a single soul. News travelled quickly and Zaellis had not tried to hide himself after he revealed his identity. As such the new emperor's arrival was the talk of the town the next day.
When Azemo woke up, he put on his hat and left the inn. The disguise would not work on people who had already seen him, still he hoped that it would garner him less looks as he explored. Seeing that he did not use (skill) Incognito it was highly unlikely that people wouldn't notice, but it was Azemo, so common sense did not always apply.
In the streets people parted for Azemo and he might have thought they noticed him, except he was too busy admiring the city. As for the people who saw Zaellis, they all left him alone, even though he was not trying to be fierce, Zaellis was just a shocking individual. The humans thought that if their new emperor wanted to be weird they could not say anything.
