Castle of King (Part 4)

Kaizen approached the guards outside the great door of the throne room with a confident expression, trying to hide his fear. He greeted the guards with a nod and a friendly smile.

"Good day, noble guards. I am here at the behest of the captain of the guard to check the security of the throne room. I need to make a routine inspection and make sure everything is in order."

The guards looked at Kaizen with serious expressions, clearly skeptical of his presence and his words as they had never seen him before. One of the guards crossed his arms and frowned.

"We have not been notified of any routine inspections. Who are you and why are you here?"

Kaizen swallowed dryly, trying to think of a quick answer that would convince the guards. He knew that any inconsistency could jeopardize everything.
