With slight hesitation, the leader of the Holy Knights ultimately took a step back and knelt on one knee, lowering his proud head in submission. With him leading the way, the other Holy Knights soon followed, kneeling to declare their fealty to Yulia.
Yulia let out a breath of relief and turned to face Wang Lan. "On behalf of God's Country, I offer you a sincere apology for what the Pope did to you earlier. In this matter, God's Country was at fault from the beginning.
"Then, I apologize to you personally. I'm sorry, I had no idea the Pope would do such a thing. I can understand his reasons, but I know his actions are unforgivable to you. If I had known he would do this, I certainly wouldn't have come to ask for your help."
"I understand! You already proved your stance when we were in the Palace of the Saintess. But now, I want to know the position of the entire God's Country."
"I'll definitely have an answer for you tomorrow morning," Yulia said quickly.
「That night」
