Graydon did not resist because he knew he might get killed if he did.

James possessed the Blade of Justice and had the power to enforce the law without having to justify it first.

Therefore, he chose to compromise.

He believed the news would spread and someone would come to rescue him soon.

The people who were standing behind him would not allow James to break the balance in the Capital.

After James arrested Graydon, he did not choose to return to the military region. Instead, he headed straight to the courthouse. He planned to interrogate Graydon through the night and convict him. Then, James could kill him if he were to get the death sentence.

James wanted to know what would happen after Graydon was killed.

He would kill anyone who stepped up to interfere.

While James was bringing Graydon to the courthouse, Lucjan sat on a sofa in his residence in the Capital.

It was a courtyard house in the suburbs.

Several fully-armed soldiers guarded the outside of the courtyard house.
