Ch. 75: Consequences [2]

Arthur let out a deep sigh; his disappointment was palpable. "While I appreciate the noble deed that both of you have done, it does not justify your wrong actions. Therefore, I regret to inform you that you will both be grounded for a year."

Nathaniel's golden eyes widened in surprise; he was taken aback by what the Emperor had said just now. 'A year of being grounded? That was too harsh!'

Regardless, Nathaniel voiced his thoughts. "Your Majesty, I understand that what we did was wrong, but a year of grounding seems too severe. Can't we find some other way to make up for our mistakes?"

Yet, Arthur just shook his head. "It is imperative that you both understand the gravity of your actions and the potential consequences they may bring. By endangering yourselves, you not only put your lives at risk but also jeopardized the safety of others."
