William accepted the gifts with a very gentle attitude, then smiled and invited them to sit down for tea.
The people from the Radiant Knights did not say much, leaving the opportunity to speak entirely to the elves.
Hill understood their silence very well.
What could they say to William? That they had suffered heavy losses because they had ignored his advice?
Yet given the Radiant Knights' personalities, they could not happily exchange pleasantries with the otherworldly king before them.
For these two knights, as well as the other knights waiting anxiously in Greenleaf Forest, this was practically a nightmare.
While they had been doing everything they could to save their own world, they had never imagined that their own backyard would catch fire.
They had even been warned beforehand: Someone was about to set fire to that place! You need to be careful!
Yet not only had they failed to pay attention, the idiots from their own side had even gone over to ask, "I heard you're going to burn the camp? Hahaha, that can't be true, right?"
What other ending could there be? They had simply been stupid enough to get themselves killed!
But to these knights, no matter how unworthily those people had died, they had still been students and juniors whom they had painstakingly raised.
Even after personally killing their enemies, they could not bring themselves to smile.
Both the elves and William understood the knights' feelings very well. Although it was somewhat impolite, everyone tacitly skipped over the two knights during their conversation.
Sometimes, appropriate neglect was the truest kindness, rather than rigidly observing so-called etiquette.
The two elves strongly approved of William's conduct and spoke much more gently and amicably.
The longbowman Hatfield cheerfully opened the conversation.
He was very interested in other worlds.
