Her wrists were also released. Suspicious, she opened her eyes and watched Eren\'s back facing her. He had completely released her.

She didn\'t know how to feel about this. On one side, she felt relieved that she was freed. On the other hand, she felt a sense of loss.

Zia quickly retrieved her towel, wrapping it around herself with a mix of embarrassment and relief.

She avoided calling out to Eren, her cheeks still flushed with a mix of emotions she couldn\'t quite decipher.

"You\'re quite the troublemaker," Eren remarked, leaning against the wall with a casual air around him. "Next time, I might not be so kind."

Zia looked at Eren\'s back, for a moment there was complete silence in the room.

She took off the towel again and properly dressed herself. However, she still couldn\'t get herself to call Eren even though she was ready.

The silence was only broken when there was a knock on the door.

"Master, I have freed them. However, they appear to be at a loss on what to do next."

Even though the door\'s lock was broken by the Priests, Yu Lin still didn\'t barge inside disrespectfully.

"Tell them to wait. The Merchants are going to be released soon. The ship should also be repaired and ready to leave," Eren answered while pushing the door open.

Even though he didn\'t look back at Zia, it didn\'t mean that he didn\'t see her get dressed. His seventh sense was quite helpful in that.

Only after confirming that Zia was dressed, he opened the door and left the room with Zia accompanying him.

In the back of his head, Eren was still thinking if he had gone overboard. Did he upset Zia? He wasn\'t sure. Still, he couldn\'t show any weakness or embarrassment.

He was supposed to be a demon. He could not afford to have a weakness like embarrassment or shame that ordinary people had.

He landed out of the Ship and addressed the other Merchants who weren\'t sure about his identity.

For the guests on the ship, Eren wasn\'t one of them. The one who was traveling in the ship with them was an entirely different person with a masked man accompanying him.

Eren, on the other hand, was accompanied by two beauties. If it wasn\'t for his robe, the people would have thought that they were also a part of the Holy Church.

It was also because of their attire that they were even more scared than they would have been if they were caught by the Holy Empire.

Amongst the people in front of them, two were the Great Elders of the Great Demon Sect.

The Great Demon Sect and its members hated the ones from the Southern Continent. It was the same for the Southern Continent. For them, the people from the Great Demon Sect were absolute demons who had no humanity.

Looking at Eren and Zia, many people were trembling. Even though they were freed by them, they were still cautious, unable to hide their fear.

Eren didn\'t bother explaining himself. The more scared they were, the harder it was to make them understand. No matter what he said, they were not going to believe him.

In the end, he simply told them what he had to say and left. He told them to stay near the ship unless they wanted to become his food.

This threat, influenced by their fear, worked miracles. Even the ones who wanted to run away stayed behind, trembling in fear.

If they were caught, maybe they were going to be used to negotiate with the Southern Continent. But if they offended the Great Elder of the Demon Sect, a quick death could only be called mercy.

They stayed behind even as Eren left with the two girls.  Some were so scared that they didn\'t even enter the ship, not moving an inch from their original positions.

It was only after they watched the Merchants and the others from the ship return that they felt a little hope.

The Merchants were freed by the Holy Priestess who realized that it was pointless to keep them since they were here to bring the resources that the Holy Empire needed.

The Merchants quickly returned to the ship and repaired the external walls that were broken by the priests\' bodies flying out.

Quite a few merchants discussed what to do next. They suggested returning to the Southern Continent but a large majority of them suggested continuing on this trip to deliver their materials in the Holy City.

Now that they were freed, it was clear that there had been a misunderstanding. If they ran away now, the misunderstanding was only going to grow bigger.

In the end, the Merchants decided to make no changes to their own. The ships rose in the air and traveled towards the Holy City.

....

Eren entered the Duke\'s City with Yu Lin. Zia on the other hand had tied the Priests that she had beaten. She dragged them with a rope like they were sacks of rice.

Since the Holy Priestess didn\'t come to bring them back, Eren made sure to bring them back.

Zia left the unconscious Priests near the entrance where the other Priests could heal them and help them up.

As the guests of the Holy Priestess, the three of them entered the Duke\'s Palace without being restricted.

They were even assigned three guest rooms in a secure area. However, it was evident that it was done to keep an eye on them throughout the night.

The Holy Priestess could do the same as well but she didn\'t even want to observe that disgusting aura if possible.

Soon, the three guests had settled down in their own rooms with many eyes watching the corridor without being detected.

For the most part, the place was still. It was only in the middle of the night that the door to Eren\'s room opened and someone stepped out.
