Chapter 1000: The Approaching Storm

Facing the fierce glares of several armored guards, Basil Jaak calmly explained, "I'm sorry, you showed me the token, by the command of the Martial King, I dare not disobey, hence I let you through. However, those behind you, none have tokens. Tell me, without tokens, if I let them in, wouldn't that be a crime for me?"

"You..."

Basil Jaak's explanation left the armored guard furious, yet he couldn't find the words to argue back.

The royal palace's regulations have always been that passage is granted only with a token. Thus, people often bring attendants into the palace with just one token, having grown accustomed to it. They didn't expect to encounter resistance from Basil Jaak today.

Of course, Basil Jaak was aware he couldn't continuously prevent Eric Brinkley from entering the palace with the Martial King present. However, this disturbance today would surely catch the Crown Prince's attention towards him.

"If you behind do not have tokens, please go back," Basil Jaak added.
