Chapter 174
Micaela, one of the Knights of the 12 Zodiacs revered in Sanctuarium, had his head severed in an instant.
The pupils of the onlookers began to tremble in sheer terror.
In their eyes, Khal and Keira appeared as nothing less than demons with blood-red eyes and hair.
…Those madmen.
Do these people even possess a shred of patriotism?
They are merely a breed obsessed with war.
How on earth have such people defended Lucon until now?
It would not be an exaggeration to say they had personally lit the signal fire to announce the start of a war.
“A-Are you two in your right minds?”
Duke Risetta spoke, his face pale with disbelief.
Woooong.
Keira calmed her sword, which emitted a chilling resonance, and spoke.
“We are a martial family that strives for the defense of Lucon more than anyone else. I believe it is only reasonable to suspect your secret contact with Sanctuarium as an act of treason.”
“That is an outrageous assumption! Our opponent is a superpower aiming to conquer the world. Provoking such a nation is truly foolish. Sir Lamas Stark! This is a grave misunderstanding!”
Sensing that the atmosphere was not conducive to conversation, Duke Risetta belatedly turned his gaze toward Lamas Stark.
Shing!
At that moment, Lamas revealed his blade, threatening the soldiers of the Duke’s household.
“Drop your weapons. As of this moment, His Grace Duke Risetta will be taken into custody on suspicion of espionage. Think for yourselves what will happen if you resist.”
