"What's the commotion? Why is there a crowd?"
Gabriel was prepared to put his plan into action, albeit a bit in advance, but before he could even declare his identity, he heard a voice coming from the back.
There wasn't any magic in the voice, but he could still feel some suppression. It wasn't enough to affect him, but it was still enough for him to be sensed.
Unlike him, the others looked even more shocked, especially the Knights.
All the Royal Knights looked in the direction that voice came from, going down to their knees. The crowd also appeared shocked. They cleared the path right away.
As soon as the crowd stepped aside, Gabriel was also taken aback.
There were two people in the back. One of the two was a man who was in his late forties. The man was wearing a beautiful Royal Attire of the Arecia Empire. A charming golden robe hung on his shoulders.
