Naoki teleported from his castle and appeared in an empty corner tucked away at the end of a quiet street.
He chose to appear in a secluded place to not attract the mages' attention and also not to frighten the peasants going about their nocturnal activities.
The humans were aware of the superior beings like the Daimyos and the Shogun, so another superior being wouldn't surprise them, but appearing out of nowhere without warning could be shocking as it was prohibited.
There was a rule in the last edict by the previous emperor that stated that only the people in the top three tiers of the government could use their powers openly and the rest were prohibited.
But there was a clause added to it.
Stepping into the busy streets, Naoki's gaze remained straight as his sandals silently marked the dusty earth.
Though he could still see everything that was happening from the corner of his eyes.
