This is the wall that surrounds the Palace Grounds in Corus.

Since he passed the border between Scanra and Tortall more than a month ago, Maksim Rusakov noticed that the weather was becoming increasingly balmy. Gone were the snow covered roads and the refreshing, icy winds of his native Scanra. Such comforting and familiar weather was instead replaced by roads covered in the russet, gold and sepia remnants of fallen foliage, and weak, wispy breezes that held only a hint of chill.
Maks knew he would be arriving at the walls of Tortall's Palace soon, having recently emerged from the underbelly of a city he could only distinguish from the others he passed through since entering the country by the multiple mentions of the Palace. The scraps of conversations that flitted into Maks' range of hearing confirmed his assumption of the close proximity of the Palace to his current location.
The walls were large, imposing structures that stretched high into the heavens. Or so it seemed from such a lowly vantage point as ground level. The stone was cool to the touch, the moss climbing the stonework soft and green. Riding slowly around part of the perimeter, Maks took in the details of the wall, the first sight of the place that was to be his new home.

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.
