"I am Prince Ezekiel's personal warrior servant," Xenia declared without batting an eye. "Let me enter right now, for I have a very urgent message for him!"
"Show us proof of your identification," the Valcrez soldier promptly asked.
Hearing his words, Xenia gulped. She had absolutely nothing in terms of documents.
"I lost it," she cooly lied. "Just ask Prince Ezekiel. He's expecting me. Tell him that his servant warrior with green eyes has returned."
The soldiers guarding the door looked at one another, looking as if they had just heard something stupid.
Blinking at their reaction, Xenia felt that something was off. "What is going on?"
"I'm afraid that Prince Ezekiel won't be available to see you," the soldier explained. "He has set off with the rest of the army of Ebodia."
"Then ask for King Stephan," she replied. "His Majesty knows me."
