"What do you mean by this?" The rising fury within Olrich’s tone brought Nils’ attention back onto him. Ignoring that Konrad’s odd look, she carried on. "I mean, exactly what I say. I will go through the betrothal process and follow the third prince back to the Prosperous Wind Empire. There, I will orchestrate my death on the eve of the wedding." "You!" Olrich rose from his seat with eyes set ablaze by rage. "Nils I’ve heard you say a lot of nonsense, but this definitely trumps…-

The remainder of the court session was uneventful. Officials presented their reports and petitions while offering advice on various problems the country faced.

As the session approached its end, a middle-aged official stepped forward. "Your majesty, we’ve received news that the Prosperous Wind Empire’s…

Krann’s demonic energy spread through Konrad’s veins, soothing his internal damage before rising to his soul to check possible issues. He was relieved to see that besides some internal damage Konrad didn’t have any injuries. His soul, as robust as ever. Thankfully the Infernal Soul Devouring Art magnified his soul power to impressive levels. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a simple matter of spitting blood. Konrad raised his hands, stopping Krann’s worries. "It’s nothing, we’ve…

"Come on in." Before Konrad could announce himself, Adelar’s voice came from behind the door. Without delay, Konrad stepped in. Adelar sat before a table with a wine glass within his hand and motioned for Konrad to sit before him. "Are you here to discuss father’s move?" He asked while Konrad settled within the chair. "Actually, I have many questions. First, I can’t understand why he is so adamant on making that eunuch boy his adoptive son? Even he should know that it can only bring…

"What did you just say?" Konrad’s eyes flashed with annoyance. Did cultivators also have audition problems? "I wish to serve his majesty to the best of my abilities." "No, before that." "Oh, my intentions are pure." Konrad waved Nils goodbye with the back of his left hand before taking his leave. But then, an unexpected event occurred. Nils summoned her energy sword and hacked it at Konrad’s neck. He was startled. The blow was fast, but not fast enough for him to avoid. However,…

"I don’t expect you to master the first layer anytime soon. In the meantime, I will be preparing the criminals for you to refine. I believe that with your talent; one to two weeks should be enough. However, I must warn you. Even if you manage to master the first layer in less than two weeks, you might not be able to reach the second one in a lifetime. So, don’t be discouraged by failure." Olrich instructed with the stance of a doting elder. "Moreover, I will send you resources on a weekly…

"Bastard, unfilial bastard! Do you really think I don’t dare kill you?!" Olrich rose from his throne, and his holy force erupted alongside his thundering voice to barrel into Adelar. His body shook, and he staggered with blood dripping from his lips and eardrums. However, he regained his balance and didn’t fall on his knees, keeping an indifferent gaze locked on Olrich. "It is your right to kill. If you wish to do so, then go ahead. Death is nothing. Personal shame is nothing. But the family’s…

Undisturbed by the ninth elder’s words, Olrich briefly studied the reactions of every single one of his clansmen. There was mostly stupor and incomprehension. However, as the reality of his words settled within them, strong rejection brewed. "Emperors never jest." Olrich declared, his resolve evident to all those gathered. Konrad, who remained on his knees, found the situation particularly frustrating. "Konrad, rise, and come stand on my left." "Yes, adoptive father." Without delay, Konrad…
