after walking for a while we finally reached the palace gates . there i saw 5 guards standing . i signalled asteria and i wore my hood . asteria then began with her acting . asteria said " my lord , we are here . " the words my lord should trigger their reaction . followed by cyla " my lord are you alright ? you have walked among those unruly commoner . " i replied " i am fine " followed by svar " my lord , shall i talk to the guards ?" i replied " yes " and svar started walking towards the guards . svar said " open the castle doors . my lord has returned " they stared blankly at him and said " who is this lord of yours and we haven't been informed about this before " svar replied " you dare say such a thing !!" i then came in and said " svar , calm down . they probably don't know who i am . it's been years since i went missing " the guards got confused and said " may we have a look at your face ?" asteria said " you dare... " i cut her off and said " calm down . they are doing all of this for his majesty' safety " they got even more confused . people started gathering around due to our talk . as soon as a huge crowd was gathered , i took off my hood . i did this because as to publicize that i am back , the long lost prince . commotion always attracts people so , all i did was use this brain of mine . as soon as , the guards saw my face they fell into shock . all of them started running forward and back . after all the redder the eyes the purer the blood of the royal bloodline of this empire . i had pure red eyes . in the past , the illegitamate prince of the emperor was the one with the purest blood . so , they immediatedly recognized me . they guided to the emperor's throne room after all the commotion was settled . when i was passing through the halls of the palace i noticed it from outside as well but the outer castle was made up of marble and the interior of gold and silver . the decorations were antic pieces . if a world which was obviouslly going to start broke then all the expenses could be earned easily just by selling all these stuff . all these people really do you know how to spend money like it was water . these ungrateful people !! i wanted to beat all the people or hang them upside down . but i knew that this wasn't the ideal time for stuff like this . after walking for time which seemed like hours we finally reached the hall where the emperor or barrack's father met important people which i obviouslly got to know through barrack's memories . before entering the hall they told all my companions to wait outside for the safety of the emperor . i already predicted this so , there was no issue . i was the only one who gets to meet the emperor .
