In the dark cell, the atmosphere full of ominousness and horror lingered for a long time.

Even after Ricky's laughter and Sak'el's sobs both disappeared, Thales could still feel the gloomy, creepy trembling in the air.

Year of Blood.

Eddie II.

Bright Star Royal Family.

And, the only thing that threatens the Queen of Magic...

The perfect anti-demon weapon.

Thales was breathing in a daze, and just realized that his limbs were trembling slightly.

The secret just now shocked the prince so much.

Thales lowered his head in shock and looked at his left hand - there were several shallow scars on his palm, which could not be seen without looking closely.

Six years ago, he used this hand to hold the forbidden weapon... and sealed Giza?

That one was most likely the culprit who killed the Canxing royal family...

The Purifying Frontier?

Thinking of its name that should not be a coincidence and its strange call as if it were alive, Thales couldn't help but clenched his fists and his heart tightened.

What on earth is that?

Countless questions and goosebumps came to him, engulfing him.

"We should go."

On the other side, Ricky put away his aftertaste and joyful expression and replied calmly:

"That's it for today."

But just when he turned around.

"Wait, Ricky."

Sameer, who was also stunned, sighed and looked at Sak'el in the cell: "One last question."

Under the dim light, the figure of the punishment knight seemed to be sitting slumped on the ground, full of sadness.

Ricky frowned slightly, but didn't say anything in the end.

Samir walked towards the fence step by step, and the firelight forced the shadow of the fence closer to him, and continued to approach the corner where Sak'el was hiding.

"Just now, Sak'el."

"Little Barney told me," Samuel took a breath and hesitated slightly: "There was a traitor in the royal guard back then and betrayed His Majesty and His Highness."

Sak'el in the cell shuddered and raised his head sluggishly.

The expression is erratic.

Thales forcibly put away the chaotic thoughts in his heart and looked at the field.

"Barney spoke so eloquently and so eloquently." Thinking of the scene just now, Samir, who was holding a torch, had a painful expression on his face: "What's inside and outside, what's falsely conveying orders from His Highness the Crown Prince, what's deliberately taking us in circles, what's still lurking behind our backs afterward.

In the team... nonsense like that."

Sak'el, who was sitting against the wall, was still looking at him silently, but his face was slightly lowered, immersed in the shadows, and he couldn't see clearly.

Samir chuckled, not knowing whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation.

"It seems that traitors really exist," Samir's tone revealed unspeakable sadness:

"It seems that as long as they find him, Barney and the others can be freed and at least atone for their own sins."

Sak'el in the prison breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had not yet recovered from the blow just now.

But at least he spoke, in a casual tone, as if he was sleepwalking:

"Is it."

Samir's face tightened.

"So, Sak'el," he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind: "I must ask this: is it you?"

"The so-called traitors back then..."

"is it you?"

This question made both Thales and Ricky have different opinions. The former was silent and the latter was indifferent.

Sak'el was like a slow old man, it took him a few seconds to react.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Samuel confusedly in the dark corner where light could not reach.

"When the situation was urgent and we encountered enemies on all sides."

Samir exhaled, gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty:

"Whether it's at the palace gate or the Hall of Stars, whether it's Captain Cullen or Big Barney, Tony, they can safely hand over the elite main force of the Guard - including the forty-six people who were later sentenced - into your hands, or

Watching you leave, or counting on your help..."

He clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Because they all know and believe that no matter how powerful the enemy is, if they are led by the Punishment Knight and the next captain of the guard they are optimistic about is present, then danger can be turned into good fortune and everything will be safe."

Samir held his head, as if he couldn't bear to hurt the deeply hit and bruised man in front of him: "Unless...unless he is a traitor."

The flag officer gently closed his eyes.

"Is that you, Sak'el?"

Both Thales and Ricky listened quietly.

In the cell, Sak'el took a few breaths and slowly raised his eyes.

"Is it me?" he repeated blankly, with confusion in his eyes.

Samuel opened his eyes slightly, and although he couldn't bear it a little, he still spoke forcefully:

"Sak'el, you may not be good at forgery or espionage, but you are the confidant of the crown prince's bodyguard, and you are still second to none in combat power, not to mention that you also serve as the chief flag officer."

Sak'el twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile. Due to the limited light, Thales couldn't see the exact expression above the corners of his mouth.

"Is it me?"

He repeated quietly again.

Samir sighed, seeming to have no confidence in the other party's condition.

But he paused for a few seconds and then spoke decisively.

"Sak'el, I know you are not clear-headed," the flag officer gritted his teeth and said harshly: "But it doesn't matter. I believe that, like many people, like me, there is only one thing in your memory that will never fade.

"

Boom!

Samuel raised his fist and hit himself hard on the chest!

The three people present couldn't help but look askance.

"Swear, Sak'el, swear in front of me, in front of the blood of the Bright Star."

Samir said resolutely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes:

"On your honor, your dignity, your sword, your ancestors, and on the name of the Sak'el family, the Ludor nobles who have been loyal to the throne since the empire's time and have been passed down for a long time!"

Finally, Sak'el trembled when he heard these words!

The punishment knight stood up slowly, revealing his branded face in the dim firelight, and his eyes slowly gained focus.

Ricky was thoughtful.

I heard Samuel breathing rapidly, and continued with a face full of pain: "Solemnly swear, Sak'el... In this life, you have never betrayed the Bright Star royal family, betrayed the royal guard, or betrayed the oath of the imperial guard!"

Sak'el's face slowly turned solemn.

Thales's breathing gradually became smaller.

"Tell me, tell me personally, you are not a traitor."

Samir said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"tell me."

But Sak'el didn't answer, he just looked at Samir from a distance, his eyes slightly cold.

For a moment, the only sounds of four people's breathing were heard in the air.

But in the next second——

tread!

I saw Samir take a fierce step forward and grab Sak'el's cell fence!

Ricky's face changed slightly.
