(Six months after the extermination of Dalton Duchy and Eleanora's execution.)

"Your Majesty, No matter what, she was our empirws hero! You can't disrespect her deceased body like this!"

"This is right, Please let us bury her. She was our commander after all."

"Give her a last mercy, Your Majesty!"

The emperor, who was sitting on the throne looked at the knights with his narrowed red eyes, which had dark circles because of the lack of sleep.

His legs was crossed over another, as he rested his face on his palm, which was clenched into a fist.

"...Mercy?"

The emperor spoke as his lips smriked into a bitter smile, who didn't got mercy from her for the last six months.

Guilt, sorrow, regrets, frustration- everything was eating him up from inside.

The knights of the third squadron trembled a little as the emperor's chilly voice echoed in the silent audience room.
