"Your Highness, I don't blame you, you don't need to apologize to me."
Looking at the sincere apology from the Prince, Keynes took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and continued.
"I've been with the Academic Association for decades, since I was a child, I know all too well what it's like there."
Luo Yan gently comforted him with a whisper.
"Uriel was indeed a bit excessive in this matter."
Keynes shook his head.
"I don't even blame Uriel, he has no time to bother with an unlucky has-been like me. Even if he were small-minded, it would be impossible for him to personally persecute me... It's just his zealous subordinates, they'd rather wrongly kill ten thousand than let one slip through."
This is called gambler's mentality.
Most mages within the Academic Association come from humble backgrounds, without any way out, they bet all their talents and life's efforts on the High Tower, those brilliant minds must be selfish and cold-blooded to the extreme.
