A Chance At Freedom

The Knights wanted to avoid any untoward incident thus they kept Beryl away from the others.

To them Beryl was a crazy heretic that could do anything. He had already hurt several knights while on the way here, and they didn't want to give him any chances. 

On some level, even the knights were scared of him and tried to be away from him when the mages were not present. Unlike Asher here, they knew of the man's reputation and what he was capable of.

"Can you lift your arms a bit higher?" Beryl asked Asher.

"Yeah," Asher did as told.

He was a lot more quite this time and slowly raised his arms, trying to make sure that the chains didn't make any extra noise. Asher even breathed slowly, as if afraid that a heavy breath might catch the attention of the knights.
