Colin thought he had heard wrong.
Only when Duke St. Gregorian let go of Anna and returned to sit at the long table did he realize that the other party truly had no intention of fighting anymore.
Thud, thud, thud!
The sound of knocking suddenly rang out, accompanied by an anxious voice from outside:
"Count, are you alright?"
Obviously, previous noises had alarmed the guards outside.
Colin immediately shouted in response, "I'm fine, just receiving a visiting friend. You all can retreat."
"Yes, sir!"
Only when the footsteps outside retreated, did Colin approach the table and sit down opposite to Duke St. Gregorian.
The holy knight, who was just shouting and wanting to kill, had now restrained her aura. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a powerful woman warrior to a beautiful noble lady.
This drastic change left Colin momentarily disoriented.
