Chapter 71: Our Side
What greeted Cyril upon finally exiting the 'interrogation' room were the impatient faces of his friends.
He spent quite some time in that room, making them wait mixed in with the local soldiers.
Cedric, of course, didn't mind; he was the type of person to befriend just about anyone.
"Finally, what took you so long?" Rose said, sitting on a chair with her chin resting on her hand.
Myra was sitting nearby; in her eyes could be seen the same question.
The moment they saw the awkward face of Cyril and the excited face of the knight that led them here, they understood that something must've happened.
"Young heroes, you are free to go. Remember, if you have any problems, come to the tower and look for Alfred. If I am available, then I will definitely help." The knight said with a reliable expression.
Everyone could feel him becoming a few times more friendly, leaving them in confusion.
"Can you tell us what will happen to the zoo? I've tried asking the soldiers, but they don't know," asked Cedric.
He felt that now there was a chance this previously silent knight would let something slip, and he was right.
After a brief hesitation, the knight opened his mouth. "You are from Ailanthus, so it should be fine to tell you..." He cleared his throat and continued with a lowered voice.
