After a brief inspection, the Guardian took Rod into the castle.
The castle was brightly lit, with staff members hustling about everywhere.
They all wore uniform attire, blue cloaks, and dark green robes, the only differences being the markings at the collar and the colors of the robes.
Rod followed the Guardian to a room in the center of the second floor of the castle.
The room was not large, and its decorations were simple, with walls covered in various maps. Upon closer inspection, they were all maps of the Royal City, varying in size and scale, some showing only certain sections, others resembling construction blueprints made of lines.
There was a large redwood table in the center, behind which sat three people.
Rod recognized one of them.
One of the four Great Judges of the Internal Affairs Court, the red-haired Iron Mask, Manolo Bana.
