He did not encounter anyone along the way except for being briefly delayed by a patrol of Empire Guardians. After a simple questioning and checking his identification, the Guardians let him go without much trouble.
Chen Lun then headed straight to the entrance of the dungeon located behind the palace.
The entrance was inconspicuous, set underneath a white marble wall and guarded by only two royal jailers clad in armor.
Chen Lun stated his purpose and requested to meet the warden Nunes. The jailers did not stop him and even pointed him in the right direction. Chen Lun thought to himself that his smooth entry was probably thanks to Princess Anna's doing.
Entering the Sun Dungeon, he descended a sloping staircase that twisted down in a spiral, seemingly leading into the mountain that the Royal City was built upon. The narrow passageway was lit by torches on either side. The light was dim, but sufficient to illuminate the way.
