Marquis Zelfit was not slow at all. In just 15 minutes he had assembled a platoon of 100 guards and together with the Donald they left the palace towards Gistaly's mansion.
The march of so many guards caught everyone's attention. Within minutes they had surrounded Count Gistaly's mansion. The mansion guards were scared to see that the royal guard had surrounded them and soon one of them went to warn the earl.
When Count Gistaly was notified that Minister Zelfit had arrived with Donald and a platoon of guards freaked out. He knew that it was impossible for the royal guards to be mobilized just because of Donald's complaint, so it must be because he had been found out.
The problem was that he had no way to escape and he could only play dumb he came out to greet them with an expression of feigned surprise as he asked, "Marquis Zelfit, Marquis Valoid, to what do I owe this visit?"
