"Halt!

Please step out of all 12 Carriages and standby for a full body and carriage search.

I repeat!

Please step out for a full body and carriage search."

--silence--

Skye and his men couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Did these oafs just ask them to step out?

What the hell?

This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!

"Your highness!

I think that these people are mad.

Do they expect, a royal prince like Prince Skye to just stand outside like a common peasant?

Your highness, this is an insult to you!"

"Yeah, your highness!

These people are just too much!!!!"

The tension In the air seemed to be amplified, as the men within Skye's carriage were all engulfed in rage.

Their breathing became heavy and their minds seemed to think about just one thing: Kill!

They unconsciously held onto their swords as if they would draw them out any moment from now.

Skye looked at them and smiled.

"You 3 should calm down.

The reason why they probably did this, is because they don't know about my status as a Prince.

After all, in their eyes, maybe I'm an imposter.

So if they show the seal, as well as the necessary items to prove my claim, then it should be fine no?"

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.

Yes!

His highness was right.

They settled down their emotions and smiled at each other confidently.

And soon, one of them calmly stepped out of the carriage with a hint of arrogance on his face.

This person was Thomas, who previously bought all those beauty supplies for Skye.

Thomas moved towards the guards and flicked his wrists in an attempt to show the royal seal to them.

"Here!

I trust this should suffice.

Open your eyes and take a good look at this.

This will prove our master's identity.

And if you all aren't convinced, then take a look at these other things too."

The guards briefly looked at all the things presented to them.

As as they looked, Thomas sneered at them and thought that their silence was due to the fact that they regretted their previous actions.

As expected, his master's name and nobility still made people tremble in terror.

Knowing his master, after they have successfully settled in, these lowlifes would mysteriously vanish from the face of Hertfilia.

For humiliating his majesty Skye the way that they did, this would be the most befitting outcome for them.

.

"What?

Do you guys regret it now?

Well, it's not too late to repent.

So if you've properly realized our master's position, then quickly get out of the way now!" Thomas said coldly while collecting the items from them.

And as he was about to walk away, he heard some of the men chuckle.

"Dear guests... No!... esteemed subordinate of his royal highness Skye.

You see, whether your master is a prince or even a God... if he wants to step into the Palace, then he needs to follow the rules and do as he is told.

Like I said, get your men to leave their carriages and prepare for a full body and carriage check.

I will not repeat myself again.

Is that understood, Mr. Subordinate of his royal highness Skye?"

"Trash!

How dare you!!!" Thomas exclaimed.

At this point, his entire body was trembling in fury.

He clenched his fists and struggled to breathe.

"You fools!

Do you know what you are asking?

Are you in any way picking a fight with us?

Let me tell you this!

When we meet your queen, we will definitely complain to her about this humiliating incident.

So if you know what's good for you, let us through now!!"

The more Thomas spoke, the more the guards smiled instead.

Complain to their queen?

Please!!

It seemed like these foreigners had no idea who their queen was.

Well, then they would just have to learn the hard way.

.

"Alright, Mr. Subordinate.

After you do as we say and go in, you can go right ahead and complain all you want.

But for now, you have to follow our rules if you want to get in.

So, what's it going to be?"

"You! You! You! You! You!!!

Just you wait!"

With that, he angrily stormed back to see Skye.

And when he got there, he added his own made-up facts into the story, making Skye burst out in anger too.

Dammit!

Since he came to this empire, he had been continuously looked down on by these low breeds.

He quickly reined in his temper and squinted his eyes at the guards ahead.

"Thomas!"

"Yes, highness!"

"Tell the rest of the men to do as they have been told."

"But..."

"No buts.

Keep your eyes on the prize.

This is but a small step that we have to climb, nothing more.

Now go."

"Yes, your highness."

"Good!

I'd like to see how many more tricks these people have up their sleeves."

With that, Skye and his men did as they were told.

There were over 200 guards on each shift attending to all those who came in or went out.

So their inspection lasted for 20 minutes before they were quickly sent to the waiting room to fill up some documents.

Of course, they had some of their men stay by the carriages to protect their stuff while the waited.

And just how long did they have to wait for Penelope to send for them?

Well, from the looks of things, 4 while hours had already gone by and they didn't even know how much longer they would still be waiting.

"Your highness Skye, this queen Penelope seems like the snobbish type.

Just look at how long she has kept us waiting here?"

"Yeah, your highness.

And on top of that, she has been calling these commoners in before us.

So she's definitely an untamed one."

Skye listened to his men and smirked.

"She might be a handful now, but she's still a woman.

So Don't worry.

I'm sure that once she sees my charm, she'll certainly turn obedient in a blink of an eye just the others normally do."

"As expected of his highness the lady tamer."

"Hahahhahahahha!"

As they spoke, they suddenly heard the sounds of footsteps calmly approaching them.

.

"Your Royal highness Skye?

The queen will see you now."

"Good!

Lead the way."

"Yes, your Royal Highness."
