With Philip's help, Aiwass quickly arrived at the port.
But of course, he didn't go searching person by person... that would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack, foolish and highly inefficient.
Aiwass wasted no time in revealing his position as the Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures, demanding in a very firm manner that all ships stay in port for an additional six hours for a thorough cargo inspection.
This was a completely reasonable request within the jurisdiction of the Minister of Commerce.
Now with the position of Minister of Commerce vacant, the Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures could temporarily take command with the Queen's authorization.
