Teams of heavily armored Forbidden Guards raised torches and moved through every corner of the Royal Palace, their shin armor and steel boots striking the floor with a sound like a swarming beehive.
Awaking to find that every single sentinel, both obvious and hidden, had been collectively compromised in the heavily guarded Royal Palace, every Forbidden Guard climbing from the ground was deeply shocked and angry over their dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, orders soon came from the Crown Prince and the Forbidden Army commander, suggesting that the situation was not yet out of control.
Seeing a figure rapidly approaching in the dark holding a peculiar long spear, the Forbidden Guard Knight immediately drew his sword, ordering the person to halt.
