The blockage by the City Gate Guard left the Castel knights baffled, and some younger knights even frowned slightly.
They pointed discontentedly in the direction where the Gaston family's convoy had departed, complaining,
"Unpermitted armed knights are not allowed inside? Then why didn't you inspect them or stop them when they entered?"
The City Gate Guard looked disdainfully at the knights and said,
"That was Duke Gaston's family convoy, a great noble of the Kingdom, seating Lord Richard, the heir of the Duke's family. The escort consists of knights from the Kingdom's Guard Legion, so naturally, they can enter freely."
The Castel knights were still not convinced.
They wanted to say more but were silenced by a gesture from Baron Shalon.
As a noble who frequently led merchant caravans, Baron Shalon knew the pass regulations of the Royal Capital, and indeed, armed knights needed to register for admission beforehand to gain permission.
