The guard in front of the castle did not hinder Arthur's passage, and even treated him with maximum respect.
What he did back on that fight was something all the elves knew about, and even the refugees from the Dragon Scale Empire knew as well.
Arthur met Elanor just outside of the castle, and he bowed as well.
"Akhur, the Queen wants to talk with you."
Even if she did not ask for it, Arthur would go talk with her, anyway. The situation was not simple, and with the fall of the Dragon Scale Empire, they all needed to act together and wipe out the upcoming danger.
The door that led to the throne room was immense, having 10 meters of height, and large enough for multiple people to pass through at the same time.
There, the best soldiers the Elven Kingdom had were at the post, protecting the queen with their lives.
No one believed Arthur would do anything to harm the queen, but it did not matter who it was, or what time it was. These guards were always near to protect her.
