Chapter 496: You Finally Returned

"Halt!" The guard that was keeping watch on the Kraetor Army's camp stopped a dozen black-robed men from entering their encampment. "State your business."

The leader of the black-robed men removed his hood, and smiled at the guards who had their weapons aimed at him.

"My name is Conner, and I would like to have an audience with her Majesty, Empress Sidonie," Conner said politely. "Can you please, pass the word that I am here to see her?"

The guards exchanged glances at each other. Their captain then stepped forward to appraise Conner from head to foot before giving his reply.

"Wait here, I'll inform Her Majesty," the Guard Captain replied before turning around to leave.

Earlier, one of the aides of their Young Empress, Priscilla, had given him a hand written letter from the Empress. The letter had said that if anyone named Conner, William, or Elandorr, came to ask to meet her then they should inform her right away.
