Crystal's POV:

With the exception of the cars owned by the royal family, all other vehicles had to go through a thorough inspection. Once checked and approved, only then would the cars be allowed to enter the imperial palace. It had been so long since I last stepped foot in these grounds, but right now, I was entering the palace as an Alpha. I had become accustomed to how I was living my life the past few years that it had slipped my mind how strict the palace was when receiving visitors.

I did not apply for approval in advance, so I had to walk to the gate to have my arrival recognized. I slid out of the car, grabbing an umbrella on my way out, and strode towards where the guard was. The rain brought gloom as it poured hard, but I maintained a smile intended for business cracked on my face before I handed the guard my ID card and job certificate.

"My coming over was rather unplanned, so I forgot to apply for an immediate pass." I pushed an awkward cough, bringing my free hand to touch my mask. It was an unnecessary explanation since he was only a guard, but I felt the need to somehow defend myself.

"Please wait here for a minute. I'll let your car pass for now, and you can apply later," the guard said as he returned my belongings. He was rather enthused and complacent than strict. After making sure that I got back my card and certificate, he ran to the back and talked with another guard who was in charge of the cars that were checked and approved for passage.
