Sitting cross-legged in his seat, watching the tense Kamisato Ayato, Lord Guchen did not keep him in suspense for long, uttering just a single word:
"Granted."
That single word alone relaxed Kamisato Ayato's tightly wound mind once more.
*Phew... I've dodged a bullet!*
When the majority of Inazuma's high-ranking nobility were implicated and purged, his Kamisato Clan was not among them.
Though only he and his younger sister remained in the clan, it was far better to stay clear of such catastrophe if possible!
Watching Kamisato Ayato heave a massive sigh of relief, Lord Guchen couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head:
"Do you take me for some kind of tyrannical monster? I'm a very reasonable person, you know. Your Kamisato Clan is a breath of fresh air among Inazuma's nobility; you've never committed any heinous acts, and instead, you've done quite a bit to help this wretched world. It is precisely your actions that give me a rather favorable impression of your clan. When the nobles are implicated, your name naturally won't be on that list."
With confirmation secured, Kamisato Ayato bowed respectfully once more:
"Thank you for your mercy, Lord Guchen."
Lord Guchen waved a hand, looking entirely unconcerned.
