Finally, the oldest girl realized the situation and knelt in front of Albert in an instant.
"Greeting, Your Majesty!"
After the oldest girl knelt, the other four girls also realized that they are not in the proper manner to greet a king. They also quickly knelt in front of Albert and greet him.
"Alright, I accept your greeting. You can stand up now. We're not in front of audience so you don't need to mind your manner," Albert said.
While the girls slowly standing, there's an awkward silence among them.
They must be thinking of why are they in front of a king? Why did I pluck the explosive devices from their mouth? Why is everything happened?
They never thought that they are already in a safe place away from the cult. They have been in a dangerous situation their whole lives. They don't understand the meaning of safety yet. They must be only thinking that they can survive if they follow our orders.
