Not only Agares, but the newly arrived adventurer party also began to prepare for battle.
They showed no fear toward Agares—after all, he was alone, and they were five.
Leon and his party stood in the middle, between the two sides.
He stood firm, trying to mediate the conflict. There was no need to fight to solve this.
"Agares," Leon called out, drawing Agares's attention.
"I've been in the dungeon for two years. I don't know what happened to you or why Erika acted so recklessly. I can't make a decision on this alone."
"But if what you said about Erika is true, then as her brother, I thank you."
"However, if what they said about your crimes is true... then we will take our own stance."
"Your own stance?"
Leon took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He glanced at his friends—Nathan, Bernard, and Cassandra were still recovering.
Anna didn't want to fight someone who had saved them. Doing so would feel like betraying the one who helped them.
It would be ungrateful.
