The Guard Captain, who was previously indecisive, now acted swiftly without giving anyone time to argue or object, directly making a decision.
Without any explanation, he silently ignored the disbelieving looks of some people. If anyone attempted to speak, he would meet them with a calm gaze.
The Guard Captain firmly suppressed all dissenting opinions.
The matter was settled just like that.
Who approves? Who opposes?
"..."
In the end, under his intense and penetrating gaze, no one raised an objection, and even Bishop Collier, who was previously the most adamant, silently bowed his head.
Herbert glanced around and took note of everyone's reactions. He then nodded slightly at the Guard Captain: "Thank you for your understanding and help."
This statement was actually quite cryptic.
"Understanding" was easy to interpret, referring to gratitude for the Guard Captain allowing Valentina and her group to enter the Holy City.
