The group got to the private gate, and Zaraki did as usual, handing the guards the scrolls of approval before they let them pass.
The guards gave the same usual response and opened the gate, letting the group pass peacefully and without hindrance.
By the time they got outside, the gates slowly shut behind them, and they got a spectacular view of the lowlands from their elevated viewpoint.
"Wow, it looks like a lot more fun from up here," commended Hirai, making Zaraki laugh.
The several huts that made up the lowlands looked like small boxes from where they stood.
The princess came down from the carriage to better examine the view.
"Akito," she called out, and he came right beside her with a bow of respect.
"Yes, my lady," he replied.
"You are the most familiar with the lowlands, are you not?" she asked.
