Emilia observed with anxiety as Lucius raised the sword and then brought it down. Panic gripped her; she couldn't bear the thought of Mia losing her life. Mia was a loyal member; unlike Ethan, who was lustful, she felt lost, unsure of how to stop the sword.
Fortunately, Lucius chose not to end Mia's life, possibly believing she was mentally ill, sparing her and knocking her out unconscious instead.
Lucius shifted his attention to the girl lying on the ground, and his anger began to grow. His gaze then turned to Ethan, who was writhing in pain on the floor.
"Who is she?" Lucius asked in a hushed tone, only to be met with agonizing screams. "My HAND! YOU CUT IT OFF!!" Ethan's painful cries reverberated through the room, causing him to clench his fist tightly.
"I don't have much patience. Who is that prisoner calling herself 'Sophia,' and why is she locked up?!" Lucius demanded, his mood growing increasingly bad as he approached Ethan.
