Zieglind called out to us, "Zeta, Greta."
"Hmm?" The both of us looked at him.
"I strip you of our family name and the slave contract. Leave. You're no longer part of the Crimson Knights."
"..." Everyone's happy faces suddenly turned into a surprised, sorrow face. I was just in shock on what he just said. This is completely unexpected. "H- hey now, that's a weird thing to joke about Zieglind." Zeta tried to play it off.
"..." Zieglind stood there with an unfazed face. He wasn't doing anything but we could feel his intense pressure.
No one spoke, until Rize did. "Hey Zieglind! What's the meaning of this!?"
"I said what needs to be said. This meeting is for the Crimson Knights. Zeta, Greta, LEAVE."
It was like a spear that pierced my chest and someone just rips it out. "Wha-... We've been loyal to you for three years! We waited for you to come back! And now you're just going to dispose us like we're tools?"
