The heavily scarred Erwin had already been stripped of his armor and shackled with chains.
He sat quietly in the corner, eyes closed and expressionless.
The girl, accompanied by a middle-aged knight, appeared outside the bars, standing quietly and looking at Erwin.
Slowly opening his eyes, Erwin looked at the girl, somewhat bewildered.
The two of them silently stared at each other.
The corners of the girl's mouth slightly curved upwards.
"Are you the Demon Envoy?" Erwin asked softly.
"Yes. My name is Dovna, Dovna Aiselle," the girl replied.
"This was all a trap, wasn't it?"
"Back in Aspa, I had already set my eyes on you. How does it feel? Didn't expect the Demon Envoy to be so young, did you? Your arrival was something I had already anticipated."
"Alright then." Erwin smiled wryly.
"But to be honest, it was quite unexpected. I didn't think you'd be captured so quickly. I thought it would take at least a few days of struggle."
