Silence. The BOSS room was completely silent. No one had expected the leader of the Blood Oath Knights to handle his guild's affairs at such a crucial time—and expel a player.
Kratier's mind went blank. What were the Blood Oath Knights? Aside from St. Freya, they were the most influential guild in the entire SAO Strategy Group. Joining them was an honor in itself, let alone becoming the Vice Guild Leader's guard. But ever since Asuna had relieved him of his guard duty, nothing had gone right for Kratier.
