The prison door was opened by the guards. They slowly came to Ye Xi with weapons in their hands and looked at her with indifferent eyes.

"Hurry and get ready, the Duke wants to see you."

"I advise you to be honest and don't try to escape from here."

The first thing the two guards saw when they came in was Ye Xi, who pretended to be unconscious, giving the illusion that he had just woken up from bed.

This phenomenon aroused the curiosity of the guards, as humans and demihumans have never had much interaction.

But the one standing here now is undoubtedly a pure sub-human race.

Ye Xi stood there motionless, her eyes closed, unable to see their faces clearly.

And it was for this reason that the guards squatted down and used their hands to touch the demihuman's physical features, such as the animal ears and tail.

"This tail... is very fluffy, just as expected."

"Hey, can you hear us?"

One of the guards patted Ye Xi's head to remind him, while the other guard put down his spear and touched Ye Xi's tail without caring about his own life.

But at this moment, Ye Xi was slightly startled, and slapped the opponent in the face with his tail, knocking him back to the corner of the wall.

"I woke up a long time ago, I don't need you to remind me."

"How dare you touch my tail?"

Ye Xi turned around and looked at the guard lying on the ground with contempt, then walked over, grabbed the man's collar with one hand, and put his face close.

"Do you think that just because I'm locked up, my movements are completely restricted?"

Ye Xi's voice was low and deep, and this one sentence made the guards terrified. Their pupils shrank inward and they breathed tremblingly.

"Okay, I'm not interested in fighting with you. I heard what you just said."

"Trouble with the road?"

Ye Xi turned his gaze to the guards behind him. He was suddenly startled and the weapon in his hand kept shaking.

"Okay...this way, please."

These two guards who came to meet Ye Xi were, after all, newcomers.

I didn't notice why the other prisoners were wearing the same clothes, but Ye Xi was the only one who was so special.

He was arrogant in the last second, and degenerated into a lowly soldier in the next second.

But the two guards in front of him just took Ye Xi out of the prison and handed him over to other people.

Finally, following this logic, Ye Xi, led by two knight captains from other teams, came to a door.

The knight captain standing next to him knocked on the door, and after hearing a permission from inside, he pushed the door open.

"go in."

The male knight captain said it perfunctorily. Ye Xi looked at the environment inside the door and found that the structure inside was quite luxurious.

After walking in, due to his height, Ye Xi did not notice Virivaro sitting behind the desk.

"Now, everyone is here."

Virivaro's voice suddenly came, and Ye Xi immediately looked over there.

Then there were bursts of strange noises, and in the blink of an eye, I saw a row of familiar faces standing on the sofa nearby.

"Yexi, this way~"

Charles waved to Ye Xi, and this scene made Ye Xi very confused.

Lana, Brest, Vinales, and those two guys actually appeared in the same place.

"Why are you here?!"

"Yes, how come we meet here?" Charles jokingly provoked Ye Xi.

Then Virivaro stood up, and Ye Xi didn't react for a while.

No, it was probably because after he came out of prison, he had never thought about what would happen after meeting Villivaro.

Even though they had only met once before, Villivaro was very polite this time and it seemed like everyone he knew was there.

"Seeing how panicked you are, perhaps I can explain to you why you are gathered here."

"No, I will do it, Duke."

Venalus spoke, and Virivalo smiled and nodded, then sat down again.

Vinales came in front of Ye Xi, while the others sat in their seats and watched the scene quietly.

"What are you going to do this time? Are you finally going to sentence me?"

Without waiting for Vinales to speak, Ye Xi guessed the result in advance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called others over to listen to his crimes.

But Vinales paused, and the next second he knelt down in front of Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was stunned by this scene and even took a step back.

"What are you doing?"

"grateful......"

Venalus whispered.

"what?"

"As a knight, I would like to express my gratitude for your assistance in the battle against the nocturnal beast last night."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the Knights and the Guards would be seriously injured right now."

"After this defensive battle, no casualties were confirmed, and the most seriously injured are currently recovering."

"At the same time, it was your timely rescue that stopped this fierce battle."

"Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the soldiers!"

As Vinales uttered his last words, the scene fell into silence.

Ye Xi stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.

The expected smile also appeared on Villivaro's face.

"What's there to thank for? We just..."

"There's really nothing to thank for."

At this moment, Lana suddenly stood up and spoke, and everyone looked at her.

"During the time that the angel was away, were our actions truly correct?"

"Perhaps the situation has already reached a critical point. Last night's fight was probably a dangerous signal."

"We can't relax for even a moment. We need to find the Angel as soon as possible and pray that she can protect our common home once again!"

"Venalus, your status as the Knight Captain is a source of pride to all who know you, myself included."

"But I hope you can hold [Faith] in your heart as you once did. Over the years, I have been unable to see your inner thoughts through your face."

"Why, why did you shut me out? Is it really a knight's duty to enforce the law ruthlessly?"

"Then what's the difference between what you're doing and [arrogance]?"

Lana spoke a lot of words from the heart at once.

As soon as he finished speaking, Vinales froze.

Because she saw a crystal teardrop flowing from the corner of Lana's eye.

At this moment, her heart was ignited, the blood in her body was bubbling like boiling water, and her heart was beating non-stop.

"Lana..."

"sorry......"

Vinal's legs suddenly went weak. Charles and Brest wanted to step forward to support her, but Ye Xi was one step ahead of her.

"Don't kneel in front of your comrades! Keep your spirits up!"

"You're going to kill her by kneeling, do you know that?"

The emotions that had been suppressed in Venalus' body for a long time broke through the constraints of reason, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Lana's face.

Lana walked up and touched Venalus's rosy cheeks with her hand.

"I've always had high hopes for you, please don't force yourself."

"It doesn't matter if you don't treat me as your sister anymore. At least I hope we can maintain a common goal like this."

"Defend our country, believe in the angels, and strive for the best in our respective jobs and professions."
