 Accompanying him was Flora Heckerath von Merante, who had officially become his personal attendant.

 She had been the head of the courtesan of the palace, and at her own request, she had become the courtesan of the Grand Emperor. She was originally a knight of the Kingsguard, so she is also a first-rate escort.
