Heinrich entered Baihe Town with a clear purpose, heading straight for a residence in the northern part of town.
Even with the Scaya Dragonfolk Army massed at the northern border, the Knight from the Dragon Hunter Battle Group paid it no mind. After dismounting with his men, he knocked on the residence's old wooden door.
Before long, a young man's voice rang out from inside the residence.
"You have the wrong person. Go back."
Heinrich removed his Dragon Bone Helmet and knelt on one knee before the door. The Knights standing behind him all lowered their heads and knelt as well.
「After a long silence.」
The champion of the Imperial Arena lowered his proud head. Without offering any explanation, he spoke in a sincere tone.
"Your Highness, the Empire and its people need you."
Reinhardt and Dietlinde stood a short distance away, witnessing the proud Knights of the Dragon Hunter Battle Group willingly kneel.
And the title Heinrich used—it was enough to leave even Reinhardt stunned.
