Ye Xi described to Lana what happened inside the main gate of the main city.

But after Lana heard the whole story, she did not behave as Ye Xi expected.

I thought Lana would persuade Ye Xi to go back and cooperate with Vinales and entertain him truthfully because of this incident.

The following conversation made Ye Xi slightly moved.

"In that case, why don't you hide for a while."

"Or just run, as far as you can."

"As the captain of the first squad of the Knights, Venarus will never give up easily once she is provoked."

Ye Xi also told how innocent she was, but Lana added a few questions that Ye Xi had not thought about.

"Is this Yexi and Xiaer's first time in the Rhine Kingdom?"

"But have you ever understood the rules here?"

Ye Xi shook his head in denial. Before coming here, Ye Xi had never met anyone living in the Rhine Country.

If we have to say who there is, it would be Lana and Brest, but since they were not familiar with each other at the time, it was equivalent to stepping into this place without knowing anything.

But now the problem arises again. Lana said she wanted to run away, but where should she run to in this unfamiliar place?

"To be honest, Captain Walker and Mr. Olaf are actually close friends regardless of age."

"And you accidentally took his life. No wonder Mr. Olaf was so tough with you."

"But I didn't do anything wrong. It was that guy who started it!"

"No, it wasn't me who killed him, it was Beelzebub!"

Ye Xi then recalled what happened at that time. Walker fell to the ground due to serious injuries and the strange sword in his hand.

Then Beelzebub came down from the sky and vaporized Walker with one blow.

This was also the first time that Ye Xi witnessed the Demon King's strength. It was indeed as his reputation said. He could easily destroy a life.

When Beelzebub was mentioned, a nervous look appeared on Lana's face.

"Ah... So it was the Demon King who did it. That's all right then."

"After all, such powerful figures can destroy a city, let alone ten, at a whim."

It can be seen that Lana is very afraid of the demons, and she even deliberately avoided this topic.

"In short, Vinales probably wants you to explain why you acted violently in public."

"And Mr. Olaf, this is truly a personal vendetta."

Even though Lana said this, it didn't make Ye Xi relax.

From another perspective, Vinares even suspected that he was connected to the black fog that could drive people into a state of madness.

In addition, I was an outsider, which made me very suspicious in their eyes.

"Something seems a little off..."

"Well, no one should have reported Walker's death. How did they know?"

"Could it be...that there was still one person left alive?"

Ye Xi frowned and thought, but Lana was slightly stunned. Those cold eyes were just directed at Lana.

When Walker suddenly went crazy and wiped out all the people in his team, he almost killed them to silence them. No one was spared except Lana and Brest.

As for why Olaf and the entire Knights knew about Walker's death, it is now self-evident.

"Lana."

"Ah, w-what happened?"

"Are you not feeling well too? Why do I think you're sweating?"

Because of Ye Xi's actions just now, Lana thought she was suspected and became nervous.

Judging from the current situation, the top priority is still Charles.

There was no point in being so busy questioning that she didn't even bother to care about Ciel, but fortunately, Lana was always keeping an eye on her, so overall, there was nothing serious.

At night, faint breathing sounds were heard in the dim room, and Charles' consciousness gradually returned.

She frowned twice and made a weak sound as she opened her eyes slightly.

Her mind was still cloudy, and her unstable consciousness made her unable to speak. This familiar feeling made Charles subconsciously want to turn his head away.

"Hmm... dizzy..."

"Huh? Why is it so dark?"

Charles finally opened his eyes completely, but everything in front of him was still pitch black.

And I could vaguely feel something moving on the quilt.

Gradually, the thing moved a few times, and a pair of rather round eyes appeared in the darkness, staring at Charles.

"Sister Ciel!"

"Huh? That sound is..."

It was Xiaoyou. She had been lying beside Charles, waiting for him. When she felt some movement, she woke up as well.

"Sister Ciel, you're finally awake!"

"How do you feel? Do you want Xiaoyou to help you?"

Seeing that Charles woke up, Xiaoyou was excited and happy. She moved closer to Charles, lay on her chest and stepped on it happily.

"Stepping on breasts? Don't do that, Xiaoyou...it's itchy..."

If it were the usual Charles, Xiaoyou's behavior would seem like an attempt to please her, but due to his physical condition this time, Charles had to force a smile while trying to dissuade her.

"You take a rest first, I'll go call Ye Xi over!"

As he said that, Xiaoyou jumped off Charles' big white rabbit and ran out the door nimbly.

After a while, there were footsteps outside the door. While Charles was in a daze, he saw Ye Xi and Lana walking over with dinner.

"Ms. Charles."

"Hey, are you awake?"

When seeing this gentle scene, Charles felt a little dazed and rubbed his eyes subconsciously.

After confirming it again and again, I found that I was not dreaming, this was real!

"I'm not dreaming, am I?!"

"What? I don't teach you enough that you can't even speak?"

"Get up and drink this soup!"

Xia Er was still unable to react for a moment, but he was completely awakened by Ye Xi's words.

This generous treatment was undoubtedly novel and touching to Charles.

Lana placed dinner on the wooden table beside her and handed Ye Xi a bowl of freshly cooked soup.

"It's already dinner time, huh? Sorry, I'll get up right away."

"Wait a minute, Miss Ciel just woke up from a coma. She's restless and in a state of worry. How could she have the strength to do that?"

Lana gave Ye Xi a wink, as if hinting that Ye Xi should take advantage of the situation, and the smile on her face was even more difficult to understand.

"So, let Ye Xi personally feed this bowl of thick soup to Xia Er!"

"Eh?!"

Lana's smile became brighter, which shocked Charles in particular. Xiaoyou stared with wide eyes and had nothing to say, while Yexi remained silent.

Her hand holding the soup even began to tremble slightly.

"Um... that's not necessary."

"Don't underestimate the elves' recovery ability. How could I be so weak that I don't even have the energy to eat—"

"Well... Ciel's condition should be considered that of a patient, and Yexi is your traveling companion, so naturally she has to take responsibility."

Lana refuted almost all the rebuttals, and the scene suddenly became quiet. It was not warm at all, but rather awkward enough to penetrate the floor.

This action made Ciel realize that there seemed to be only a distance between Lana and the priest.

After all, everyone has selfish desires, even Lana, a priestess, is no exception. In this situation, she finally wants to see whether the relationship between Ye Xi and Charles is good or bad.
