Serious Lucians!!

"Stand up, it's alright."

Lucian walked forward, his gaze shifting toward General, Meleonora, and the purple-haired man, who were still kneeling.

The three hesitated, exchanging uneasy glances before cautiously raising their heads. Their eyes flickered between Lucian and the butler, unsure if standing was even allowed.

Meleonora leaned toward the General, whispering, "Is this… really alright?"

General didn't respond immediately. He studied the butler's posture, noting how the man hadn't objected to Lucian's words.

"Lucian holds the authority here?"

After a brief pause, General slowly stood up.

If Lucian was in charge of the situation, then following his orders was the safest bet.

Meleonora and the purple-haired man exchanged another look before awkwardly standing up as well. Their movements were hesitant, and their eyes darted toward the GIA agents who remained motionless, still on one knee.
