"Do you even know what you are doing right now? We are the knights that serve under Baron Greve!" The head knight shouted the moment that he saw these fireballs appear.
Even though he knew that they were in a bad position, this was the only solution that he could think of since he knew that whoever was controlling these fireballs wouldn’t let them go otherwise.
The only thing that he could hope for was the power of the nobility that was behind his lord.
Otherwise it really would be his final moment.
In the end, it seemed like the gambit that he took paid off.
After all, it didn’t seem like these fireballs were about to approach them.
It was as if whoever was behind the fireballs was afraid of the lord that was behind him.
With this confidence surging in him, the head knight said, "As long as you surrender now, I promise that we’ll treat you fairly. With the ability that you possess, I’m sure that you’ll be able to find employment with my lord."
"You overestimate yourself." That was the only response that he got.
After all, the gambit that he took was wrong.
The head knight’s expression twisted as he couldn’t help revealing a confused look, but he knew that this wasn’t the time to act this way. If he didn’t push, then all he could do was passively receive what the other side was putting out.
"Do you really think that you can take on the full force of this kingdom by yourself? Do you really think a single person’s power would be enough?" The head knight said in a provoking tone.
"Ha, ha, ha, why do you think that the kingdom will be on your side?"
The head knight looked even more confused when he heard this as he had no idea what this person was on about.
Would the kingdom take the side of an unknown magician rather than one of their own nobles?
No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t believe that this would be the case.
After all, even if the other side was a powerful magician, the kingdom couldn’t just abandon one of their own. The moment that they abandoned a noble, it would send a message to the other nobles.
It would tell them that there was no support for them from the kingdom.
Once the nobles realized that, then there was nothing left for the kingdom.
So there was no way that this would be possible.
"You don’t have to worry about whether this is possible or not, you should just be trying to think of a way out of this for yourself. I’ll give you a chance to save yourself as long as you tell me all of the evil things that your lord has done."
The head knight revealed an ugly look when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
Even if there were many things that Baron Greve did that he didn’t agree with, he knew that there would be no place left for him the moment that he betrayed him. If he were to do this, the only thing that would be left for him was to be abandoned completely.
Not to mention that there were his knights that were around him.
"I see, bad choice then."
The voice said once again before the fireballs started to approach them.
When the head knight saw this, he raised his blade and swung out at the fireball in front of him. However, the blade instantly melted the moment that it made contact with the fireball.
"How is this possible?" The head knight said in a shocked voice as he looked down at the melted blade.
This blade wasn’t just any blade, this blade was the one that the boss of the Orca Gang had used to cut through the fireballs previously. The head knight had taken the blade since he thought that the blade would be useful.
But now he found that it had all been a lie.
From the very beginning, this whole thing had been a set up.
"I want to confess!" The head knight suddenly shouted.
"It’s already too late." As soon as this voice said this, the fireballs around the knights surrounded them and their vision went dark.
...
"Did you kill them?" Amelia couldn’t help asking when she saw the fireballs surrounding these knights.
I just said with a smile, "Do I really seem like that kind of heartless person?"
Though Amelia didn’t say anything, the look on her face made it very clear what she was thinking. But in the end, she slowly shook her head in response to this question.
After all, if that was the case, he wouldn’t have had a reason to save her.
"Well, the real reason is because they will make for good eye witnesses when the time comes to punish the one that is behind all of this." I said as if I was changing the topic, but then I said, "What are you planning to do now?"
Amelia was taken aback when she heard this before looking at me as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.
I calmly looked at her as I waited for her answer.
In the end, Amelia shook her head and said, "I don’t know."
She really had no idea what she would do now.
"There’s two options in front of you."
I turned to look at her husband who was all tied up and struggling before saying, "First you can go with him."
There was an ugly look that appeared on Amelia’s face when she heard this.
But even then I turned back to her to say, "The other option is to abandon him and move on with your life."
The same ugly look remained on her face when I said this.
In response to this, I said, "Sometimes, people change forever and they can’t be saved. Instead of being trapped in the past, it’s better to move forward with your own future."
I didn’t bother saying anything else, but I could see that these words had affected her deeply.
That was enough.
