"STOP!"
The palace guards drew their swords and then pointed it towards the three men standing in front of the iron big gate. One of them tugged off his hood and revealed his handsome, frail face. "You dare point your swords at me!" Prince Kenley snarled back at them.
The three guards flinched, and their knees trembled. They immediately bowed their heads, touching the ground. "Please spare us forgiveness, Your Highness!!!"
The two bowing guards looked at each other. 'What's the Prince of Valentius Kingdom doing here?' they thought.
Prince Kenley stepped forward. "Raise your heads and tell the Emperor that I want to request an audience with him," he ordered.
Both of them flinched and raised their heads. "B-But, the Emperor ordered us to not entertain any guests today, Your Highness," they said meekly.
