The guard standing by the gate yawned. He was only halfway through his shift, yet he was already falling asleep. The south gate where he was posted was only used when larger groups were entering to city, so most of the time, there was nothing to do.
Suddenly, his ears perked up because he heard the sound of the horse running. Before he could open his sleepy eyes fully, the hurricane passed through him.
"Hey! You can't pass through without the check-in process!" The guard yelled angrily. It wasn't uncommon for them to deal with trespassers, but this one was extremely rude. Anyone in the city without permission will be caught soon, anyway.
"Huh, what is this?" He stumbled upon the emblem thrown his way by the intruder.
"The captain of the Ashford's knight?!"
The guard was suddenly relieved he hadn't tried to stop him before. That man was bad news and is best avoided. Naturally, Cassiel was free to enter the capital whenever he wanted.
