After Weiss set up rules on Paradise Island and created an island spirit that would uphold those rules, Weiss looked at the thirteen innocent people who were wrongly convicted for crimes they didn't commit.
"I know the thirteen of you are innocent. I'm Duke Weiss from the Phoenix Empire and the Phoenix Emperor had requested me to quell the chaos at Prison Island."
"This isn't included in his requests but I'll do you guys a favor and inform the Phoenix Emperor about your innocence."
When they heard Weiss' rank as a Duke, the thirteen innocent people were surprised.
But when they further learned that Weiss bringing them out wasn't part of the Phoenix Emperor's request, the thirteen innocent people could no longer control themselves as they immediately knelt towards Weiss with their heads lowered to him.
"Thank you, Duke Weiss! I still have a family and it has been worrying me whether they could live without me."
