Because it was the destined plot at that time.

"Who the hell do you think you are, trying to start trouble so early in the morning—?!"

"Wait a minute, Claudia."

Hearing this, Aurora stopped Claudia who was about to take a step forward, then folded her arms under her chest, crossed her legs, and glared at the guy.

"That's quite interesting. Isn't it?"

"..."

The guy didn't seem to dare to argue with Casilla's niece, so he slowly turned his head back to his original state. But Aurora was not ready to let him go easily.

"Why are you turning away again? I'm asking you a question, are you ignoring me?"

"......No."

"Then look straight at me!"

The guy looked at Aurora again.

Although his expression couldn't be seen clearly because of the golden helmet on his head, there was no doubt that his face looked unhappy.

"What did you say just now? Why are you here? Right?"

"......Yes."

"How interesting! Are you planning to betray your aunt?"

"what does that mean!"

Faced with the inexplicable leaping logic that framed him as a traitor, the Knight Commander almost jumped up from his place in anxiety, and then desperately denied it.

At this time, not only Lin Yinxi and the others who were listening quietly in the back, but even the deputy leader and ordinary members of the Golden Dusk Knights opposite had their eyes widened.

But Aurora continued speaking without blinking.

"Why? I'm not wrong. Why are we here? Besides being invited by His Majesty the Emperor, is there any other reason? But what did you say just now? Why are we here? Isn't that just doubting the decision made by His Majesty the Emperor? Is that wrong?"

"..."

This is baseless logic.

But considering Casillas' capricious and changeable character and Aurora's special status as a member of the royal family, this absurd logic can really discourage people.

After all, didn’t the leader of the opposing Knights of the Golden Dusk have a history of disbanding the Knights of the Silver Dawn for ridiculous reasons?

Even if it was disbanded with the help of the former lord.

Aurora also knew this fact, so she blatantly made excuses and acted unreasonably.

You haven't apologized to us even after all this, and you still dare to resist? This is what she meant.

"...That's absolutely not what I meant. I'm terribly sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me? Shouldn't you apologize to others?"

For a moment, his clenched fist trembled slightly. Liz, who was leaning next to Lin Yinxi, chuckled.

"...I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"Okay, that's it. Be careful with your words next time."

"......Yes."

The guy apologized to everyone, and Aurora waved her hand and let him go as if she was kind enough.

As soon as the leader of the Golden Dusk Knights turned around, Aurora burst out laughing.

"He's the guy who came to spy on you, right? He's incredibly brave to say something like that in front of the Central Hall. Throughout the Empire's history, many people have lost their lives simply for saying the wrong thing."

Just as the Knights General nodded and were about to speak, a short scream accompanied by a dull crash sounded not far away.

Everyone looked around the area where the Golden Dusk Knights were located.

"We're about to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and you dare disrupt the procession? You idiot!"

A deputy knight commander stood shakily, her left cheek red and swollen, as if she had been slapped. A drop of blood flowed from between her tightly closed lips.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Knight Commander."

After receiving a sudden slap, the Vice Knight Commander lowered his head and returned to his seat. The atmosphere there froze instantly.

Lin Yinxi rolled his eyes and immediately guessed what the guy was thinking.

"That guy is totally taking it out on his subordinates, right? That's terrible."

The nominal reason was that the team was disrupted, but Lin Yinxi saw it clearly.

The deputy commander of the Knights Templar stood straight where he was, but the guy couldn't suppress his anger, so he just grabbed someone to vent his anger.

To be honest, when he first saw that guy in the castle, he thought he was different from the one in the game, just a muscular idiot whose attributes were concentrated on strength.

Because Casillas gave the order to monitor Lin Yinxi, he really followed him stubbornly 24 hours a day.

But now it seems that the guy's behavior in the castle was just because he thought he was superior to others, so there was no need to show his true character.

That guy is still a rotten scumbag at heart.

"Doing something like that in front of the Central Hall will only cause trouble for others. It's really embarrassing."

Aurora muttered to herself, disliking that guy.

Over there, the atmosphere of the Golden Dusk Knights remained cold for who knows how long, and no one dared to touch it, but the door to the central hall of the throne began to slowly open to both sides.

This seemed to be a silent signal for everyone to come in.

The Knight Commander of the Golden Dusk Knights took the lead and stepped inside, followed closely by his Deputy Knight Commander and the other knights.

Next it was Lin Yinxi and the others’ turn.

Aurora was the first to enter, and the Knights Generals entered in order from Claudia to Erica.

Of course, Lin Yinxi is the last one.

He moved forward as cautiously as possible.

'...'

Then, he made eye contact with Cassilia, who was looking at him blatantly.

156. Be mine!

Because Casillas' gaze was too explicit, Lin Yinxi looked around instantly.

If other people saw them in this situation, it would definitely attract attention!

Fortunately, except for Lin Yinxi, everyone else had already knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to the throne.

No one seemed to notice the eye contact between the two men in front of the throne.

Casilla looked at Lin Yinxi who was about to kneel on one knee, her golden eyes drawing two graceful arcs, curved like a crescent moon.

As always, her eyes held a mysterious power that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who met her gaze.

But at this moment, those eyes were full of love and interest for Lin Yinxi.

Facing Casillas' fiery gaze, Lin Yinxi swallowed lightly and tried to avoid it.

So, he stopped stiffly and was about to kneel on one knee, walked behind Erica again, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head towards the throne.

"Everyone raise their heads."

Less than a second after he lowered his head, he was ordered to raise it.

Lin Yinxi raised his head.

It was a very deliberate order, meant to stop him from bowing to her.

Seeing Lin Yinxi finally raise her head and look at her, Cassilia, who had transformed from a woman extremely interested in men back into the sharp and domineering emperor of the Eternal Empire, supported her chin with one hand and spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don't know. Please forgive my ignorance! I'm so sorry, Your Majesty!"

The Knight Commander of the Golden Dusk Knights, who always answered first when in front of Cassilia, replied in a loud voice.

"We don't know either. We are terribly sorry, Your Majesty."

Aurora also responded calmly. This was a formal question and also a formal apology.

Because no one present could give the correct answer to that question.

The person who asked the question also had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this."

Casilla, with her elbows resting on the armrest of the throne, rested her chin on her fists and turned her indifferent eyes towards Aurora.

Aurora shuddered when she felt Cassilia's gaze.

"Aurora, have you done anything cute lately?"

"..."

Aurora lowered her head and did not answer.

"When did I ever ask you to stay out of my sight!?"

The moment she lowered her head, a stern warning came.

Aurora's drooping head quickly turned back to its original position.

"Just tell us what you did."

"...I am attempting to restore the status of the Knights of the Silver Dawn and reinstate them."

"So you know it very well... Do you want me to praise you?"

At this moment, even from behind, it was clear that Aurora's body was trembling slightly.

Even the four knight commanders in front of him and the former members of the Silver Dawn Knights who were behind the Golden Dusk Knights were the same.

Silence followed. No one dared to speak until Casillas opened her mouth.

No one in this place is a fool. Even the leader of the Golden Dusk Knights would not do such a stupid thing.

"..."

As the silence in the central hall grew longer, Aurora's trembling grew stronger.

Silence is not always a good word, especially when facing questions from the emperor, as just now.

"Lin Yinxi."

After a while of silence, Casillas, who had remained silent, finally spoke.

Lin Yinxi answered quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"what are you thinking?"

".......What?"

"Do you think I should be reinstated in the Order of the Silver Dawn?"

For a moment, Lin Yinxi really wanted to know why Casillas did such a thing.

He was very suspicious of why she asked such a question.

After all, Casillas wasn't the type to ask others for their opinions when making a decision.

Lin Yinxi felt a little confused and panicked for a moment, but then he made up his mind.

Although I don't know what's going on, this is a chance to save the Knights of the Silver Dawn.

As for the reason why Casilla did that, we can think about it later.

"Yes."

At this time, the bodies of the Knight Commanders began to tremble slightly, and they looked very nervous.
