At the Grand Hall
In front of all the Officials of the Kaiser Empire, including the Blessed, Emperor Ray, Saintess Lily, Arcadius, Lilith and Harold, Dainsleif was on his knees, looking at the ground as absurdity filled his heart.
He looked up and saw the disgusted and resentful gazes of everyone. Emperor Ray looked disappointed and the Saintess looked a bit relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw the distressed looks from Hestia. Azaria beside her had tears in her eyes as she moved her lips repeatedly and whispered something over and over under her breath. Penelope beside them had a dark expression, but not at him. She glared in front of her, looking right at Duron and Aldric.
