After overcoming the problems of Yazou and Gisha, Elos immediately gathered the Lords of the Labyrinth as quickly as possible in the Urmur Labyrinth.
According to Elos the problems in Portus Aureus Province were only minor issues, at most they could only make Elos suffer a loss of money but still not enough to make the Elos region crumble.
The reason Elos came so quickly was that he was trying to see his old friend one last time, however they were both from earth so Elos should at least know the reason they were doing all this.
But when Elos finds out that they are doing this only for money and destroying Elos, he is really disappointed.
After all, they still came from the earth, especially Yazou who was a close friend of Elos before. But after seeing Yazou this time, Elos realized that everything had changed, Yazou now was not the Yazou that Elos knew back then. Therefore, Elos was no longer interested in spending more time with them, now that Elos and Yazou no longer knew each other.
By this time all the masters of the Labyrinth had come, after all they had regarded Elos as the leader so they followed the call of Elos quickly.
But everyone was a little confused because Aruse was not sitting in his chair but standing in the middle of this room, while everyone was sitting around him as if he was trying a criminal.
Aruse also did not say anything, he just closed his eyes and waited for Elos' decision. However, Elos has mentioned the reason why he was arrested, therefore Aruse did not fight any resistance.
Be it Zamir or Moran who had a higher rank than Aruse even though he did not understand what happened so Zamir could not help but ask "Elos, can we figure out why Aruse is needed like this?".
Elos stared at everyone before saying "I'm sure you're all confused, but I'm not doing this for no reason. Master of the 4th Labyrinth, Aruse has already informed me of my departure to a friend in the empire, even though they are friends but spreading information carelessly like this is very risky. In the end Aruse's friend did not betray us, he did not tell anyone about my arrival to the empire".
"Even so Aruse's actions still violate the existing regulations, so I gather all the Maze Masters here to determine the appropriate punishment for this action so as not to happen again in the future".
Since the Federation of Master Labyrinths had already been formed, Elos sits at rank 1 despite his strength being no stronger than Zamir while Zamir still remains at rank 2 and Moran rises to rank 4 due to Fran's treacherous void. This certainly caused everyone's ranking to rise as well, among them Aruse who was a rank 5 Labyrinth Lord rose to rank 4.
Hearing that Aruse told the matter of Elos' departure for the empire to someone other than the Master of the Labyrinth, Moran who always stood firm and hit the table angrily "Aruse, Moran, do you know what you've done? This action of yours may seem small, but it can be very risky for Elos! If the information falls into the hands of Ark or Tersin then Elos may not be able to return, do you have a defense for your stupid actions? I will not accept the defense that your friend is trustworthy, however fatal your actions are!".
Zamir did not speak, rather he was now not too easily angry anymore, instead Zamir became more careful than the time with Urmur first.
Zamir observed Elos carefully to think of Elos' idea, after all Elos was the holder of the federation's power while he was the Lord of the strongest Labyrinth, after all, therefore they must not contradict each other so that this Federation does not become easily destroyed.
"Shelf!".
This time the hot-tempered Halon could not hold herself back anymore, she hit the table as well as Moran before shouting "You pleaded guilty but your attitude is like not feeling guilty! Aruse, your actions are treason!".
"Don't you say that I believe in my friend's nature that's useless as a defense? Then I no longer have any defense" said Aruse firmly, he finally opened his eyes which looked at everyone around him firmly "I am Aruse confident in my judgment, Aruse said, Princess Fillie of the Ancient Empire is such a trustworthy person that I dare to tell her. If it was anyone else, then I would definitely not tell them the matter regarding Mr. Elos. Therefore, I have no more defense and plead guilty".
Aruse closed his eyes again and ready to wait for his punishment, Aruse did all this not because he felt innocent but he was ready to accept any punishment so there is no point in continuing to defend himself.
"You-" Halon doesn't really understand Aruse's intentions at all, so she draws her sword against Aruse.
But a powerful aura from Zamir immediately appeared and suppressed Halon "Halon, don't make things worse!".
Hearing that shout, Halon stopped her steps. He knew that those Labyrinth Lords should not fight now, so Halon kept her sword again and sat down with an unhappy face. Moran who is on the other hand comes back to sit, he has a nature that is less grumpy than Halon, even Moran is a person who does not talk too much if not necessary.
When everything was silent again, Elos again spoke "I gathered you here not to make you fight each other, but to make consideration for Aruse's punishment. What do you think? Aruse's actions may have been wrong, but Fillie has helped me a lot to gain control of the empire, besides that Filie is now my special soldier so there should be no more problems".
Zamir immediately understood from the words of Elos just now, he knew that Elos was more about giving a mild punishment to Aruse but seemed firm to everyone not to repeat it again.
Having understood Elos' purpose, Zamir began to speak up "Aruse has been working hard for the Master of the Labyrinth all this time, let alone the action this time is not fatal. Although this violation of Aruse's sentence is quite risky, I know that Aruse is not a person who acts recklessly. This Phillie gains Aruse's trust which shows that he is a good enough person, not to mention Elos being a Phillie as a follower which shows that this Phillie is very talented and has good qualities".
"Therefore, given all of Aruse's hard work for the Master of the Labyrinth, then his actions this time were not fatal and this Filie was indeed trustworthy, indeed, he did not report Elos to the emperor or the crown prince. With all that consideration, then I feel that Aruse's punishment can be even lighter".
After hearing all Zamir's explanations then everyone felt it was very appropriate, after all Aruse had never behaved recklessly before unless that person was his close trusted friend.
Elos must have found that the Lords of this Labyrinth seemed to be affected by Zamir's words, even Halon who was previously unhappy with Aruse had suppressed his anger.
Elos again opened his mouth again "It seems that everyone already has their own decisions, then let's mention the appropriate punishment as we have considered each for Aruse's actions this time, then let's mention the appropriate punishment as we have considered each for Aruse's actions this time, then look for the best punishment to be a punishment for Aruse".
