The streets of the Capital were full, but going to the Bazaar it was a totally different sense of full.
Everyone passing through needed to push the rest so they could walk, and there were those crashing on each other on every corner of the Bazaar streets.
Still the chaos and ruckuss seemed to stop once Eric and his people walked through and continued once again once they had passed.
It wasn't due to Eric though, it was due to the Palace Guard they had accompanying and leading the way for him.
The reputation and status of the Palace Guards was similar to that of a high official, as they even had the special permissions to kill everyone they deemed dangerous to the Sultan or Sultanat.
They could kill first and answer after, they didn't need for permission to kill, they only needed to have a good reason after they did it.
