A minute prior to Lily and Lucian re-entering the queue; the large metallic gates, which had remained closed for the past few hours, opened and hundreds of guards in armor marched out.
The people in front of the gates, who were already silent and tense due to the occasion, stiffened like statues. They did not even dare to glance at the guards.
Meanwhile, the guards did not care about their reactions since it was only normal for them to react in such a manner after seeing Wang Family Guards. Only people from the City Lords Manor and the Yu Family would react neutrally to them.
Soon after, the guards spread out and secured a hundred feet of area, a man wearing a black robe and a number one mask appeared on the manor walls.
Number One looked at the Mages lined up in the queue and then at the guards.
