And since the Emperor's word is more or less law, I'm not sure I see why the guards would want to risk angering his son.) (That's in a full on monarchy, and this is a constitutional one, as it has a parliament.

Secondly, just because Faolan is the Emperor's son, doesn't mean he gets any political power. For that to work, Faolan would have to write his father, who would be the delievered the read the letter, read it, and reply no,  and have to have his reply delievered. That would take too long. Makoru would be like, "I will not order the guards away so you can sneak out with your friends."

Thirdly, these guys are intensely trained Imperial Battlemages. At the moment, Weltrod's authority supercedes Faolan's. Just because Faolan can say, "If my father was here, you'd have to open these doors for him." Doesn't mean they will.

Forthly, Faolan is first most a student, thus they will treat as such.)
