About a week later Daedalus could be seen from a distance walking towards a ma.s.sive gate. This was the gate to the Grand Swordsman Kingdom. Daedalus had a black rimmed crimson red mask on his face as well as a crimson cloak that drifted around him with the wind. Only his black hair and sky blue eyes where visible.
As he reached the gate Daedalus was stopped by a guard. Daedalus understood that he did seem rather suspicious with his mask and stopped. The guard then said "Remove your mask and you may enter."
Daedalus could only sigh as he said "I am sorry, but I won't be able to do that."
The guard frowned and said "And why would that be?"
Daedalus felt slight relief at the fact the guard was understanding and said "Well I would prefer for my ident.i.ty as the Swordsman to not be revealed yet."
The guards eyes widened at this and he said "Your the Swordsman?! All of the guards have been told by the king to allow you entrance should you pa.s.s through, please follow me."
Daedalus was shocked at this but quickly understood, they where both swordsmen and they both wanted to reach the peak of swordsmans.h.i.+p. So Daedalus took this news in stride and followed the guard towards the palace.
Luckily because it was a new kingdom the city was still being built, so it only took twenty minutes to reach the palace gates. When the palace gate saw Daedalus following the guard he had a look of suspicion on his face before saying "What do you need?"
The guard that lead Daedalus over said "This is the Swordsman, I followed his majestie's orders to bring him to the palace if he came here."

The palace guard's eyes opened slightly wider and said "Would sir Swordsman, please follow me?" He then turned to the gate guard and said "Well done, you may return to your post."
So far Daedalus was impressed by the discipline of the guards and as he and the palace guard walked towards the palace Daedalus asked how they could be so disciplined. The guard explained how there was a lot of requirements and tests for every single guard, as well as a test of ability once per month. This made Daedalus begin to rethink his own system of hiring for guards.
A few minutes later Daedalus was standing in front of the throne. Up on the throne Daedalus could see a man taking a nap with a crown covering his face. Clearing his throat caused the man to start and jump a little before saying "Huh, what?"
