Seeing that there were quite a few people who did not kneel, Knight Captain Carl's brow furrowed, and just as he was about to get angry, someone spoke up at the scene.
"Get up, there's nothing to kneel about."
"You are residents of Hope Village, the marquis is not the marquis of Hope Village, we have never knelt to our lord, why should we kneel to the lord of another territory?"
"Right, everyone stand up."
"What are you acting arrogant about in our Hope Village!"
"Everyone from Hope Village, stand up."
"..."
In the crowd, many voiced their agreement.
A swarm of people, no one knew exactly who said it, but the voices of dissent kept coming continuously.
And afterward, those who had originally been kneeling slowly stood up.
If others didn't kneel, it wouldn't look good for them to remain kneeling!
Moreover, it wasn't wrong, as they had never knelt to a lord in Hope Village, although it was also true that the lord had never appeared.
