The arrival of Fourth Prince Julian Alden at Adventurer Guild Headquarters caused considerably less confusion than Sage might have expected, although it certainly attracted attention.
Julian arrived shortly after the morning rush accompanied by four Royal Knights and a senior attendant.
Unlike the elaborate procession that often accompanied members of the royal family, his visit involved only a modest escort.
He wore a dark training uniform beneath a light cloak, with a longsword hanging from his waist.
The young prince's unruly dark hair and bright green eyes gave him an energetic appearance that contrasted sharply with the composed expressions of his accompanying Knights.
Several Adventurers recognized him immediately.
"Isn't that the Fourth Prince?" a young swordsman asked his companion as the royal party entered the reception hall. "What's he doing here?"
