Reuniting with the King

The carriage that Lorenzo rented came to a halt in front of the huge gates of the castle yet again. This time, he got out of the carriage before the guards could come and ask for his pass or the purpose of the visit to the castle.

He went to find the guard who had denied him entry to the castle before. Although the guard was extremely busy, Lorenzo managed to get that guard’s attention. “Good afternoon, gentleman. I was here yesterday morning as well. I am Lorenzo.”

“Ah! Good afternoon, Mr. Lorenzo.” The guard instantly looked in his direction and gave a bow to him.

Lorenzo was a little surprised to receive such a greeting because the same guard hadn’t hesitated to harshly send him back from the gate when he came to visit yesterday.

Lorenzo quickly understood why the guard was being nice to him.
