Vyan strode down the grand corridors of the Diamond Palace with a casual pace, two guards flanking his side. He had to leave Clyde waiting outside, thanks to the recent life-threatening incident at the palace. The explosion had sent ripples of panic through the imperial grounds, and as of then, only trustworthy authorized personnel of the emperor were allowed within the palace.
It was kind of ironic. Given how Vyan was the one to set off the explosion and he, of all people, was being allowed to stroll into the palace hallways like a regular Monday.
As Vyan approached the heavy oak doors of Edgar's chamber, the door guards straightened up. They gave Vyan a courteous nod and exchanged a glance with the guards on Vyan's side, as if to confirm whether they had done a full-body check of him or not.
Once they gave the confirmation through a curt nod, the guards stepped aside to let Vyan through.
