"What are you doing!" Alke walked up to Renault, turned around and said to the knights.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please step back. We -" the leading knight started to speak, but Alke grabbed him by the front: "Let me tell you. You disappear immediately."

"But, but-"

"Shut up. That's an order." Alke said angrily.

The knights looked at Alke with regret, then turned their backs and left the room. After seeing them leave, Ozwald approached Alke: "Alke, thank you for your help."

"No, I'm causing trouble for you." Alke bowed deeply to Ozwald, and then turned to Renault.

"Reno, I'm sorry for bringing you bad memories." After saying that, he bowed again and apologized to Reno.

"Fortunately, I didn't pull it out." Renault made a deliberately disappointed expression.

Ozwald smiled bitterly and said, "Let me go."

"Compared to this, who are you?"

"They were once my subordinates." Ozwald replied, and Renault continued: "Ah, you mentioned it just now, right?" Ozwald nodded.

"But why did they come to me? And what on earth did they want with Faye's body?" Raynor demanded.

Alke continued: "But before explaining, Renault."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Ask the question in reverse.

He turned his head and immediately thought of one of the possibilities.

"Well, what is it probably?"

"What is it probably? No. It's really puzzling that you act so recklessly in the castle."

Reynold smiled to cover it up. Seeing this scene, Ozwald shook his head, helpless.

"Breaking into the castle to fight with His Majesty the Emperor?!" Ozwald's majestic cry echoed in the valley.

Alke said anxiously: "General, please speak louder."

Ozwald cleared his throat: "But, but, are you really okay?" While feeling uneasy, Ozwald couldn't help but praise Renault.

"General, please don't praise me. Because of this man, even people who didn't take leave were called before dawn to receive severe criticism." Alke turned his eyes to Renault.

"When exactly did you agree to meet with His Majesty? Or, if that's the case, why didn't you tell the guard properly?"

Renault just smiled bitterly.

Ozwald said matter-of-factly: "We didn't make an agreement, did we? It depends on the situation. Isn't it just an agreement with His Majesty afterwards?"

Alke turned to look at Renault and said, "How do you know?!"

"He is indeed an old guy. Correct answer."

"Correct? No!" Alke said.

Renault laughed: "Hahaha! Okay! Let's just pretend we didn't hear this. Never let it leak out!!"

"Are you sure? I don't want to take on any more trouble."

"Speak as if you are causing trouble!" Alke shouted breathlessly.

Renault just laughed dryly.

"Forget it, let bygones be bygones." Ozwald comforted Alke.

"Seriously, can you tell me why those kids wanted Fay's body?"

Alke suddenly frowned. Although it seemed difficult to speak, he said slowly: "They plan to bury Fay in the 'underground cemetery'..."

Ozwald asked in surprise: "What?"

Renault turned his head in confusion: "What kind of place is the 'underground cemetery'?"

"The 'underground cemetery' is simply a place where criminals are buried. In the past, those who betrayed His Majesty or were hostile to the country were buried there as a warning." Ozwald answered Renault, and Alke lowered his head.

"In other words, they want to bury Faye as a criminal?"

"Well, that's probably it." Alke replied.

"Why?"

"Because they believe the cause of a certain past 'incident' lies with Fay."

"Does 'a certain incident' refer to the 'Corpse Man' incident?"

"Sure enough, you know."

"But that's just a 'corpse man' who provided clues. Faye wasn't the direct cause, right?" Renault's words made Ozwald and Alke avoid looking.

Renault narrowed his eyes: "Answer me."

When Alke wanted to speak, Ozwald stopped him and said, "I'll tell you."

"The incident in which the general was killed by the 'Corpse Man' and escaped was considered to be due to Fey's cooperation." Ozwald said, unable to hide his disgusted expression.

Renault realized that this expression was a reminder of his past self.

"That incident was the biggest stain on the army. In order to cover up the truth, I was promoted one level and gained the status of a general." Ozwald's words made Alke shake his head: "The major general protested until the end. The above is forced——"

Ozwald stopped Alke's words with his eyes: "I accepted all this, and this is how it is now. No matter what I have experienced, I have chosen this path."

Alke remained silent, while Renault crossed his arms to show understanding.

"How can someone who doesn't understand any of this forgive Fay?"

Although he said this, Renault frowned.

"But, it's just a burial anyway, right? And it's been several years since the incident. Why now..." Renault suddenly remembered what Alke said "has changed", and on this occasion. are all Ozwald's men.

"Hey, Alke. Why are they here?" Renault asked.

From his eyes, Renault noticed what he had noticed. So he averted his eyes.

"Be honest."

Ozwald turned to Alke while listening to Renault's words. After waiting for a moment, Alke lowered his head in the negative and exhaled deeply: "I hope the major general can come back."

Ozwald's eyes dilated slightly and immediately turned into a kind expression.

"Come back, what do you mean?"

"I hope you can be as steadfast and unyielding as you were then, and just look up to see that you can come back."

"So what does it have to do with Faye's body being buried in an 'underground cemetery'?"

"The reason you changed was after Fay disappeared. I was at the scene so I knew, but they didn't know anything. They thought you changed because you were betrayed by Fay."

Alke raised his head and stared at Ozwald.

"So, they think that by burying Fahey's criminal behavior and finally having closure, you'll go back to the person you were at that time."

Ozwald was speechless. The person who answered on his behalf was Renault, who had been listening: "Then why don't you just tell them the truth?"

But Ozwald shook his head: "I can't do this. Can't do it, Renault." Ozwald said sadly.

When Renault spoke again, the doorbell rang again.
