  "That clears up my suspis!" Patolli muttered under his breath, his gaze sharp as if he were pieg together a puzzle. He had always been wary of Alex's iions, especially when it came to the young knight's unusual i in the devils. Something about Alex's demeanor uled him, yet he couldn't deny the sense of foreboding truth in his words.

  "But still…" Fuegoleon murmured, his face clouded with as the discussion grew heavier. "This situation is getting out of hand."

  "trag a devil for power…" Nozel began, his cold voice slig through the air. Yet before he could tinue, Alex interrupted with a sharp snort, his tone dripping with disdain.

  "Save your sanctimonious judgment," Alex retorted, his words striking like thunder. "At least I'm upfront about my choices, unlike your aors who wiped out aire rad stole their magic for their own gain."

  "W-Wha… What did you say?" ammered, his usually calm demeanor shattering.

  His shock was mirrored in the wide eyes of Noelle and the other Royal Knights. Even Fuegoleon, typically the embodiment of reason and honor, narrowed his eyes dangerously. His tourned icy as he spoke, his words ced with restrained anger.

  "Asta, crify your statement. You 't hurl such accusations without proof. Do you uand the gravity of what you're saying?"

  Alex's expression darkened as he turned his gaze to Lemiel and Licht, who stood silently amidst the tension.

  "The proof is standing right here," Alex decred, gesturing towards them. "Let's hear it from the ones who lived through it."

  A stunned silence fell over the crowd as all eyes shifted to the First Magic Emperor. The air seemed to grow heavier as even the spectators, who had been mere onlookers, leaned forward, eager to hear the truth.

  Licht stepped forward, his expression flicted, as if wanting to ease the brewing storm. But before he could speak, Lemiel pced a firm hand on his shoulder, giving him an assuring nod. The First Magic Emperor then turned his solemn gaze towards the young knights, his voice calm yet imbued with authority.

  "I don't know how this young knight has e to know of these events," Lemiel began, his voice carrying a weight that silenced even the whispers in the crowd. "But what he has said is ihe truth."

  The murmurs that erupted were silenced with a single gnce from Lemiel, who tinued, his tone unwavering.

  "The devil maniputed humanity, particurly the royals, into attag the Elves. But the sad truth remains—the humans, led by their greed and fear, carried out the massacre. They stole the mana of the Elves and justified their heinous as uhe pretext of survival and superiority. Every st one of the Elves perished... and I..." Lemiel's voice wavered momentarily before he steadied himself. "Even though the devil orchestrated this, it is undeniable that humanity willingly became his pawns."

  The revetion nded like a hammer, shattering the fragile pride of the royals present. Nozel, Noelle, Fuegoleon, and others stood frozen, their faces pale as if the ground had been ripped out from uhem.

  Disgrace.

  That was the only word that came to mind.

  These knights, who had once walked with their heads held high, boasting of their noble bloodlines, now found themselves fronted with the darkness of their heritage.

  Fuegoleon ched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, while Nozel looked as though he might faint from the shame that twisted his features.

  Lemiel, sensing the despair taking hold of his desdants, raised his voice, the mana within it resonating like a call. "But even amidst such darkness, I believe we fe a path of harmoween royals and oners, aween humans and Elves alike! The mana you possess is a gift, not for oppression but for prote. That is the true duty of a Magiight!"

  His words struck like a bolt of lightning, lifting the spirits of the magiights who had beeering on the edge of despair. Determination flickered in their eyes as they looked upon the legendary First Magic Emperor, their resolve reignited.

  Alex chuckled softly, his tone ced with sarcasm as he clicked his toch! Hic that the First Magic Emperor himself had to rise from the dead just to teach his desdants such a basic lesson."

  His gaze swept over the crowd, pierg and unyielding. "True strength doesn't lie in arrogance or blind pride. It lies in the ce to front your fws, admit your failures, and strive to bee better. Together."

  Alex's voice grew heavier, more personal, as he turo Nozel. "You talk of pride aage, but have you ever stopped to sider the pain you've inflicted on Noelle with your words and as?"

  "Asta, enough!" Noelle cried, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes. She bit her lip hard, struggling to keep her posure. "Please… stop…"

  Alex sighed, his expression softening as he g her. But he turned baiel, his tone hardening once more. "Tell me, oh great First Magic Emperor—what right do royals have to treat oners as less than human? What crime have the oners itted to deserve such disdain? Did they kill your parents? Steal your wealth? What is it that fuels this siing superiority plex?"

  His voice rose, resonating across the kingdom. "You royals fet that it's the oners who form the bae of this kingdom. Over seventy pert of the kingdom's wealth es from their hard-earaxes, yet you suffocate them with your arrogance. And for what? To pretend yods?"

  The words echoed across the silent crowd, shaking the very foundation of the Clover Kingdom. Lemiel remained silent, his expression solemn, while Secre, usually quick to defend her prince, chose to remain quiet. The weight of Alex's accusations was undeniable, even to her.

  The magiights, particurly the royals, ched their fists in shame. Nozel's lips trembled, while Fuegoleon's fiery eyes were cast downward, filled with a rare mix of anger and remorse.

  Even the Elves, who had long harbored hatred for humanity, looked on in stunned silence. Patolli, Rhya, Fana, ao exged bitter smiles, silently aowledging the truth they had known all along.

  Alex observed the growing silence, a faint smirk pying at the ers of his lips. The seeds of doubt and refle had been sowh his calm exterior, agic surged faintly, amplifying the weight of his words in the hearts and minds of all who heard them.

  Licht g Lemiel, his expression flicted but trusting. Lemiel, uanding the silent plea, gave a single nod. Both leaders of the past chose to let Alex's words take root, hoping they would bear fruit in the hearts of those present.

  As the dust settled, Alex spoke one final time, his voice a quiet storm. "ge begins when we face the ugliness within ourselves. Stop hiding behind the lies of the past. Use your power for what it was meant for—proteg the weak, not crushing them."

  With that, he turned away, leaving the crowd to wrestle with their thoughts. The silehat followed was deafening, filled only with the unspoke of truths finally brought to light.
