King Father Leander, Testing Me?

The five of them walked toward the palace with each their own personalities. Lyon led at the front with Selena close by whilst the three students were still trying to cope with the constant gaze and hush.

Lyon looked up and slightly raised his brows upon seeing the palace. It was the largest one he had ever seen in Second Heaven. He smirked in astonishment, "That is one big castle."

The two guards wearing helmets that covered everything but their eyes saw Lyon and the others. They looked at one another before standing their own ground and asked, "Are you Lyon?"

"Who am I speaking to?" asked Lyon.

"The guards of the palace," said one of them. "Do you seek an audience with the king?" 

"Yes," Lyon nodded. 

"I'm afraid the majesty is busy today," said the other guard.
