As Maks approached the gate, the guards there snapped to attention, their halberds raised slightly in a routine guarding pose. However, at the sight of Maks' Scanran appearance, as well as his full packs, the guards eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Step one: make it past the gate. Maks thought to himself as he squared his shoulders and put on his most unassuming grin.
"Good soldiers, might I request passage through this gate? I have business within the castle."
The guards glanced at each other, smirking slightly. "Oh of course you do. I suppose you think that you can merely waltz into the palace, maybe have a chat with the king and queen? Perhaps sneak a peek at some of our military stratagems whilst here?" the first guard asked, his voice sickeningly sweet.
Apparently this is going to be more of a challenge than I thought. Maks gritted his teeth slightly, his congenial expression never changing.
"I assure you, my good sirs, that my business within the palace is legitimate. I have the paperwork to prove this as truth," Maks said peaceably, his accent coloring every word.
