The surgery was a success.
When Ethan's gaze returned to the study, Ave was drenched in cold sweat. The fearless Imperial Knight Commander, for once, showed an expression of terror. She gasped for a long while before exclaiming, "You—you actually attacked the Knight Lord!"
Ave could never have imagined that the "surgery" Ethan mentioned would be such a disrespectful act.
She breached her oath, thus faced judgment and was expelled from the Holy Hall.
The procedures of these judgments are recorded in the knight manual, and everyone learns about oath-breaking on the first day of their knightly path.
The giant hand would take away her power, which was the might of the Knight Lord.
Attacking a proper god is tantamount to declaring war on the Neseriel Sanctuary and even the entire Empire!
"He attacked first."
Ethan argued, "This is self-defense."
"That's nonsense, there's no justification at all. The knight's power is the lord's grace, and He has the right to take it back!"
