"Grandpa..."
Despite having the power to easily overwhelm the Royal Knight, Yuan'er appeared timid, hiding behind Aurora, with only her little head peeking out. She looked at Xiumu with a pitiful gaze.
Faced with Yuan'er's eyes, Xiumu unconsciously bit his lip.
"Yuan'er..."
"Grandpa, I truly don't know what happened with those Abyssal Demons. When I arrived, they had already surrounded the city. I... I... I just wanted to save... save you all because I heard that the new emperor planned to kill you..."
"..."
Seeing Xiumu fall into silence, Yuan'er quickly spoke again, emphasizing her words.
"I... I'm not lying!"
The girl's tone sounded very aggrieved.
