"Are they sure?" After a brief period of silence, the guards received a response from the higher ups. The response left him surprised, as this seemed to be the first time that the Empire had willingly bent rules for someone.
Then again, all of them understood why that was. The Angels had many descendants. Even the other Ancient Lords had quite a few Descendants. If one of them was to die, they would clearly be upset but not to the same extent if their only descendant was killed.
The Time Lord was known to have no family in the past, so this was something that the Empire didn't have to worry about. But now it turned out that he had a son. And his only son was here after getting an invitation.
If they led a conflict and that boy was hurt, then all hell could break loose. The chances of negotiations in the future could also fall to zero. The Empire didn't want to go that far, all to maintain a single rule.
