The main corridor was filled with courtiers, all awaiting an audience with theEmperor. Vader curled his lip at them—fools, all. Pompous toadys in their velvetrobes and painted faces; perfumed bishops passing notes and passing judgmentsamong themselves—for who else cared; oily favor-merchants, bent low from theweight of jewelry still warm from a previous owner's dying flesh; easy, violent menand women, lusting to be tampered with. Vader had no patience for such petty filth. He passed them without a nod,though many of them would have paid dearly for felicitous glance from the high DarkLord. When he reached the elevator to the Emperor's tower, he found the door closed.Red-robed, heavily armed royal guards flanked the shaft, seemingly unaware ofVader's presence. Out of the shadow, an officer stepped forward, directly in LordVader's path, preventing his further approach.
