Konrad and Jasmine spent the remaining of the day in passionate dual cultivation. Hours through which her cultivation skyrocketed, reaching the third step Grand Knight and Priest Ranks. Due to them sharing the same cultivation method, Jasmine obtained more benefit from their dual cultivation than others in the same conditions. At night she collapsed, falling into sex induced torpor and leaving Konrad alone on the bed. He sat cross-legged in meditation, awaiting a certain visit. And soon, it came. The…-

Konrad’s appearance didn’t disturb the cat which purred on Jasmine’s lap while royally ignoring him. "Where did you get that thing?" Konrad asked with glaring displeasure. "It’s a gift from the holy consort." Jasmine replied while passing her hand through the cat’s fur. Konrad’s attention had been fully captured by the cat’s presence. And as he stared at it, his face contorted into strange grimaces. "What’s wrong with you?" "Dispose of it. I hate cats." Even the cat…

Hearing Verena’s introduction of his next target, Konrad was perplexed. Although cultivation talent had nothing to do with disposition, there weren’t that many fools among highly talented cultivators. Moreover, the empress was describing someone haughty enough to reject the one in a lifetime opportunity of becoming the Celestial Church leader’s disciple! Who was the Celestial Church’s leader? The Holy Continent number one expert and most influential character. Such an individual personally…

The imperial palace’s inner court, a more prominent domain than many small cities, hosting the largest gathering of beauties across the Holy Flame Empire. Returning to this female paradise, it would be a lie to say Konrad wasn’t feeling some delight. However, it wasn’t time to lose sight of the priorities. The current quest was still clear within his mind. He’d have to not only invest in developing a black market, conquer a noble imperial consort, but also obtain the full support of two of the…

Timewise, Konrad had been gone for less than an hour. However, for Iliana who had to remain still within the nuptial chambers while worrying about what was occurring in the outside, that timeframe was already unbearable. Konrad said nothing, stepping onto the bed to lie by her side. "Angry?" "Angry!" "Why?" "You’re treating me like a fool! Did you think I didn’t know you’ve been plotting with my dad? Even if I didn’t know the exact nature of your plan, your use of a scapegoat…

"Phewww!" As soon as Hubert departed, both Konrad and Wolfgang staggered and fell on their rears with droplets of sweats trickling down their foreheads. In perfect tandem, they released deep sighs of relief while staring at the door that had remained closed from beginning to end, showing no sign of someone exiting. "Close...so close!" They exhaled in unison. Although it might seem like they controlled the situation from beginning to end, in reality, it was incomparably dangerous. Any wrong move…

With the von Jurgen gone, the show had come to an end. Since the celebration had in an instant turned into mourning, the guests gave their condolences, and one after the other left the Kracht mansion. Soon, beside the Kracht kinsmen, only Hubert remained. "Thank you, your sovereign highness, for upholding justice." Wolfgang bowed in reverence. Although within the court, his backer was Sovereign Prince Thorwald Kvass, that was just a situation of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" the Kvass…

The sight of his eldest son kowtowing to a vassal pricked Olrich’s chest and trampled his dignity. However, since Elmar had already stepped forward, there was nothing else Olrich could do. Rage, outrage but, more importantly, disappointment filled his gaze as he stared at that son of his. Having raised him from the cradle, how could he not know of his disposition. Decades ago, he’d almost jeopardized his position for a woman. Thankfully, Olrich managed to reverse the situation and bring him back on…

The Ten Great Hegemons, the embodiments of supremacy within the Holy Flame Empire. Even after his last show of force, Olrich was far from ranking at the top. With his Holy Flame Seal in hand, he could barely rank six. Naturally, besides him, any one of those ten had already reached the Fate Wrestling Saint Rank or above. As for Sovereign Prince Hubert and Head Exarch Gerhard, for a long time, they’d been at the Crossed Tribulation Saint Rank, standing leagues above the rest. Ironically, it was…

The emperor’s sudden appearance and blatant covering of the crown prince took many aback. What bribe? The guard captain was a von Jurgen handpicked by the emperor himself and whose life entirely revolved around Holger’s wellbeing. Who dared bribe him? Bribe him with what? Even Olrich didn’t believe his words. The only reasonable explanation he could come up with was that someone paused as Holger to entrap them all. That or Holger was the real mastermind behind the ploy. But how could that…
