After seeing Jacinda to her transport last night, he had finally ended his shift for the day and done as she had recommended and gotten some sleep. Now, ten hours later, he was back at the Palace ready to protect his King."Nothing pressing. King Jotham has meetings in his office all day so he won't be leaving the Palace." He flipped a page. "The guards along the south perimeter reported that a group of kids attempted to gain access to the outer wall overnight.""What?!!""They were apprehended twenty feet from the wall. They carried no weapons and were petrified when confronted. It seems the boys were trying to impress the girls, who were with them, which made them brave enough to sneak up and touch the wall.""Stupid kids," Deffand muttered. "They could have been killed.""Yes, and that was strongly explained to them and their parents when they arrived to retrieve them. We won't be having any problems from them again.""Good."Green turned another page. "There will be groups of children from Pechora touring the Public Wing today for Heritage Day.""Is it that time of cycle again?" Deffand groaned."I'm afraid so.""Double the guards on all doors and put a set on the inside of the corridor leading from the Public Wing.
