The guards let Princess Eri go. Eri walked through the corridors of the east wing, admiring the beauty of the garden and the grandeur of the palace. As soon as she reached the bedchamber of the king and queen, the guards stopped her all over again. She rolled her eyes and said, "I am Princess Eri of Eridanus."
"We will let the king know that you are here. Please wait, princess," said one of the guards.
"No, you won't do that. The king asked himself to come to his chamber and you are interrupting his orders. Do you want me to tell the king what you are up to?" she threatened.
The guards looked at each other then removed their spears to allow her to go in. Eri entered the foyer, chuckling on the inside that the guards fell victim to her lies. She patted herself for being so confident about it. She hadn't crossed the foyer when someone opened the doors of the main bedroom and peeked outside.
