Watching Duke O'Keilly kneeling on the ground, Lide's expression was quite subtle.
He did not know how noble this identity as Lord Ilo had become in the eyes of Duke O'Keilly after the battle at Risier City, and the recent battle at Anos City had amplified this sentiment tenfold.
In the eyes of Duke O'Keilly, the Lide standing before him was a True God descended upon the world, possessing endless power.
Facing the increasingly urgent situation, Green City needed such a strong and towering presence for protection. Yearning inwardly for help and adding to that the frighteningly lofty reputation of Lord Ilo, the ruler of the south could not help but act in such a manner.
Although he did not understand the motive behind Duke O'Keilly's actions, since the other had already knelt, Lide naturally would not be polite.
"O'Keilly, stand."
"As you command, Lord..."
