Dante, noticing what this fight would lead to if it continued, tried to stop it from continuing any further.
Esmeralda -being worried- asked, "What are you doing? You can't interrupt the fight under any circumstances!!"
Dante then replied nervously, "The power ups indicate that they will not keep this Colosseum standing if we don't stop it!!"
Esmeralda was a bit perplexed about Dante's current mood, but she then agreed to help after she herself saw the young boys' Mana output.
But before they could intervene in the fight, a large shout came from the eastern side of the royal floor, where the royal family were seated, with the Council of Mages and Dante present as well.
It turns out that there was an intruder who was able to bypass the security checkpoint and the guards discovered the culprit.
The suspect was running towards the Emperor, and was pursued by a large number of guards.
"Your Majesty, please I need your help!!," was the cry as the suspect approached the Emperor.
This made Dante and Esmeralda to stand in a defensive position to protect the royal family.
"Please I need to see the Emperor!! It's of real urgency!!," the suspect pleaded to to Dante, who was confused but still stood his ground.
The suspect -convinced that they do not understand what was going on- removed the hood and revealed to be the mother of the children who wandered off earlier on.
"Please, I am not a threat!! I simply need to speak to the Emperor!!"
Suddenly, a few guards were able to sneak up on her and pinned her to the ground.
"Please, do not lock me up!! I really need the Emperor to see me!!," she shouted amidst tears.
The woman then remembered and was able to guide her hand underneath her cloak and removed a shiny object and raised towards Dante from the ground.
...…••••••••••••••••••••••....
It was a metallic figurine with the appearance of a winged woman; indicating that this was a peaceful request and she should be attended to and protected, per the laws of Amberland as decreed by the Supreme Goddess.
...…••••••••••••••••••••••....
Dante, after realizing what the object she held meant, ordered the guards to release her, which they complied to his command.
As soon as they released the woman, she got up and thanked him, but he interrupted her.
"No need to thank me, but civilians are not authorized to this sections without a guaranteed pass by the Emperor himself. I'm sorry, but you will have to leave," he said to her.
"No please, you don't understand!! This is a serious message I have to deliver. And I can't go back to where I came from, or me and my children will be killed!!," she pleaded with Dante.
Dante still tried to make her leave as composed as usual, but then Emperor Claudius spoke, saying, "That's enough, Sir Dante!! It seems this woman bears some important news which she wishes to deliver to me. Let her pass."
Based on that, Dante sighed and gave way for the woman to pass through to meet the Emperor.
