Before the members of The Azure Longsword could finalize their plan, the Emperor had already sent someone looking for them.
"Looking for me?" Aske asked.
"Yes, looking for you, Lord Aske," the Royal Steward said with a beaming smile.
Following the Chamberlain to the building where the Emperor resided, the Blade Warrior began to disarm, starting with the swords and battle axe on his waist, then removed the short knives on his forearms, the gun holster over his chest, and finally, they found a row of throwing knives inside his tunic...
This guy's got so many weapons on him!
With the previous assassination attempt in mind, the Blade Warriors' search was extremely thorough this time, they were just short of asking Aske to strip down entirely. In the end, a special Extraordinary Ability User used an unknown Extraordinary Ability to monitor him once more, and only after confirming there were no issues did they let him in.
