Roland suddenly lowered his voice. "Things are different now. The Holy Knight Order is here. You can regain your freedom." He lowered the tip of his sword slightly. "Lay down your weapons. I swear on my name as the Holy Knight Leader to guarantee your safety."
The Bear-man bodyguard suddenly let out a pained whimper, his massive body swaying. "I... I've had enough..." With trembling hands, he removed his helmet, revealing a face covered in scars. "Last month... she sent my brother into the laboratory..."
The Tiger Man bodyguard finally retracted his sharp claws. He stepped to the side, clearing a path. "Turn right at the end of the east corridor... She's fleeing toward the secret laboratory..."
The Holy Knights swept through the cleared passage like a silver whirlwind. As Roland passed, he clapped the Bear-man bodyguard on the shoulder. "Go help with the rescue in the basement. Your loved ones might still be there."
