Under the morning sun, the golden color was dazzling.

Everyone was dumbstruck, incredulously staring at Arthur—his black hair had turned golden, and his black eyes had also turned golden.

And it was well-known what gold represented in the Inner Bay.

The Golden Lion Family!

Moreover...

Why did looking at Arthur make one involuntarily tear up, feel surging emotions, and want to kneel on the ground?

Everyone was shocked to the core.

Even more shocked were Baro Hamlet and Pistri Hamlet.

Because they were far too familiar with this compelling power.

'Lion Group'!

A power rumored to be exclusive to the Golden Lion Family, but very few people had awakened, only the Old Lion had awakened the talent.

"Impossible! Impossible! How can this be?"

Baro looked at Arthur, his face twisted as he shouted loudly.

"Is this, is this your aim?"

The Young Lion looked at Arthur, his gaze extremely complex.

In fact, not only the Young Lion, but also Jimte, Kalal, and Anna, and everyone in the academy, as well as the hidden peepers, had complex expressions at this moment.

In that instant, they all guessed what Arthur had come for.

And Arthur, who was paying attention to these people, naturally wouldn't let everyone down.

He took a step forward—

Thud, thud, thud!

Buzz!

Amidst the intense and strong heartbeats, the air began to oscillate, and the golden short hair started to rise with the airflow.

The power of [Bloodline Seal. Lionheart King] reached its extreme at this moment.

And those heartbeats were like a horn.

Or like a war drum being struck.

In this moment, it attracted everyone.

"I came to the Inner Bay to take back what belongs to me."

The voice was neither arrogant nor humble, clearly audible.

Jimte and Kalal, upon hearing these words, did not hesitate at all, immediately kneeling on one knee—

"Welcome, Your Highness, to your loyal Inner Bay."

Jimte and Kalal knelt.

They knelt without hesitation.

Because, they had long pledged loyalty to Arthur.

They shared glory and loss.

Therefore, they did not hesitate at this moment.

However, nobody knew their relationship with Arthur, and when everyone was awed by the power of [Bloodline Seal. Lionheart King], suddenly two people knelt, truly causing the remaining people present to experience a wave-like real shock, and the last straw that broke the camel's back came from Hayes in the shadows.

As the last member of the trio, Hayes unwillingly walked out of the shadows and knelt on one knee.

"Welcome, Your Highness, to your loyal Inner Bay."

People recognized Jimte, they recognized Kalal, and they also recognized Hayes. Thegenuine

Among the nobles, the trio was not obscure.

On the contrary, they were quite famous.

Plus, the various banquets and salons they attended after arriving at Inner Bay had turned into real performance at this moment—

"Welcome, Your Highness, to your loyal Inner Bay."

The noble guards behind Baro dismounted, kneeling on one knee in salute.

"Welcome, Your Highness, to your loyal Inner Bay."

Anna knelt on one knee, followed by Jian, Jennifer, Amy, and Shala.

Among the five 'Shapeless', apart from Anna, who had complex feelings,

the remaining four, Jian, Jennifer, Amy, and Shala, had all had substantial encounters with Arthur, having been awed or frightened by him.

Simply put, the four had long harbored a deep-seated fear of Arthur.

Under the unique heartbeats of [Bloodline Seal. Lionheart King], after just a brief daze, they kneeled immediately.

As for Anna?

Simpler still.

Everyone around her knelt, if she didn't kneel, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?

As for her rift with Arthur?

Marinda had already sent her a message.

They would resolve it privately.

Now?

What harm was there in kneeling?

Anna persuaded herself.

The students, parents, and teachers of St. Joan of Arc Girls' College saw the leading five kneeling, and their already surging emotions caused them all to kneel to the ground.

In an instant, only one person was left.

Baro!

He stood there dumbfounded, his mouth still crying out impossibilities!

After a good four or five seconds, this Lord Baro finally came to his senses.

"Do you think your 'Lion Group's influence over these people is enough?

In the Inner Bay, there are still many people you can never win over!

They are the true nobles!"

Just as Baro finished speaking, members of the Inner Bay's Seven Major Families, except the Golden Lion Family, appeared on one side of the street, dressed in grand attire, their expressions solemn.

Baro was about to laugh heartily.

"Look, the true nobles will, at the right moment..."

Baro's words were interrupted by a loud call—

"Welcome, Your Highness, to your loyal Inner Bay."

The Seven Major Families knelt on one knee.

In the shadows, Acker and Eivor exchanged a smile.

The two Kings of Assassins were the busiest last night, even Arthur couldn't compare.

And Baro, who knew nothing of this, turned pale. This lord raised his hand pointing at the members of the Seven Major Families, his voice involuntarily trembling.

"You, you!

Traitors!

You are all traitors!"

The leader of the Seven Major Families first saluted Arthur, then looked at Baro.

"If we are traitors?

What about you?

You, who first initiated the coup, what are you?

And His Highness Arthur has come merely to quell the rebellion."
