After giving the order to temporarily hold their positions, Rocky returned to the City Lord's Hall.
Back in the City Lord's Hall, he saw Cyril again, and during the time he had been away, Cyril had done nothing. She quietly sat in the hall under the watch of several guards, just as she had been before.
"You may all leave."
With a wave of his hand at the guards, Rocky ordered all the others to depart, leaving just the two of them in the hall.
"Have you heard everything?"
Facing Rocky once more, Cyril took the initiative to speak, casting a glance at him and then posing the question.
"Did you come to see me just because of this matter?"
Rocky didn't return to his seat; instead, he stood in front of Cyril with furrowed brows, looking at her intently.
"That's right."
"Why? Why does my family still target me?"
"Because they are afraid you'll seek retaliation."
