"Slayer Amon, I didn't notice you were with us in this campaign," the other guard said.
"I wasn't," Amon answered. "I came because I was in the vicinity. I heard Our Ladyship is in a bad condition? I wish to see her."
The guards hesitated. They remembered that Amon was famous for the special privilege Yao Ai granted him. Even so, Diu Cay had warned them not to let anyone in except if he gave them his direct permission. Hence, they told Amon, "Forgive us, Slayer Amon. We can't let you in. Only people authorized by Dictator Diu Cay may enter this tent."
