Behind Godric, the Celestial Palace disciples flared all over again. Their eyes burned so hot it looked like fire might spill out at any second. Their bodies shook hard, and every one of them looked ready to rush forward and stake everything in one desperate charge.
But when they looked at their Hall Master's back, in the end, none of them dared move.
As for Godric, he kept his head lowered, as if he hadn't even heard the insult buried in those words. His voice came out steady and respectful, without the slightest ripple. "Thank you, my lord, for taking us in and leaving us a way to live... I... I accept this order. I have not a single word of complaint."
As he spoke, he bent deeply again. He bowed all the way down and offered a full formal salute in thanks for the favor.
"Good..." Aurelius nodded, satisfied. Then he gave a light wave of his hand, his tone flat and distant. "You may leave. I'll have an Elder Enforcer make arrangements for where you'll stay, your food and clothing, and your duties. From today on, keep to your place, do what you're supposed to do, and don't cause trouble."
