"After I took you to the fortress…" Alaric recounted the events that followed after Marco lost consciousness.
While he was telling Marco what had happened, Giovanni sensed an anomaly on the big-breasted Knight.
She had her lowered so no one could see her expression, but Giovanni, with his acute senses, could tell that she was crying.
He furrowed his eyebrows. He had no intention of comforting her. After all, they had once been enemies on the battlefield.
"So that's what happened…" Marco let out a heavy sigh, his face filled with complex emotions.
He thought that he would die in that battle, but Alaric had saved him once more.
"Your Highness, you saved me for the second time. How can I repay this…"
Alaric cut him off. "You don't need to repay me, Lord Marco. I only did what I think was right. Astania still needs you to protect the Western Region. I hope that you will continue protecting our lands."
