The Hundred Flowers Scriptures kicked into gear, pushing the duo’s cultivation to new levels. Iliana’s martial cultivation went from the eighth step True Knight Rank to the first step Grand Knight Rank while Konrad’s spiritual cultivation directly reached the first step Grand Priest Rank. As for his martial cultivation, while there was some substantial improvement, he had yet to break through the sixth step Grand Knight Rank. Although Iliana’s main asset was her spiritual cultivation of the…-

The rest of the night was eventful, with Konrad working on taking down the vigilance of his mother-in-law while not forgetting to tease Iliana. As the feast came to an end, and the servants started removing the dishes, Konrad brazenly followed Iliana back toward her chambers. In the meantime, Wolfgang walked into his study with Zamira by his side. "Tell me the truth. Why did you choose that boy? Was it only for the Holy Flame Baptism?" Having known him for decades, she didn't believe Konrad's…

"Dad!" Iliana yelled as Wolfgang’s body crashed into concrete. Alarmed, she rushed toward him, but by the time she reached his side, he was already standing up. Unlike Konrad, however, besides dust and a trembling fist, there was no visible damage on his body. "Your name?" "Konrad." "Good. Very Good. You are by far more outstanding than I believed. With such battle power and cultivation talent, you are bound to become a mighty saint in the future. Entrusting my daughter to you, I have no…

"I give you five seconds to cut the act. Otherwise, I will split you in half!" Wolfgang’s roar caused Konrad to open his eyes in a heartbeat and sweep the perimeter with astonishment. "What? What? What happened?!" "Oh, my head! I’m being assailed by monstrous headaches. Help!" Konrad howled while clenching his head and pressing it harder against Iliana’s chest. "For real? Let me check." The evident concern within her eyes caused him to further push the act with strong nods and false…

A lie, it had to be a lie. Alex didn’t believe the words to be anything more than cruel lies. "Don’t lie to me! You have already disowned me, what’s the need of inventing such lies!" "What need is there for a giant to deceive an ant?" "My father ordered me to marry the daughter of the previous Viscount Leitner to tell the world that house Leitner could still count on the support of house Kracht. That was all so that he could repay the man for saving his life at the cost of his own. Their…

Konrad clasped his hands around Man-Breaker, his lineage weapon and locked its enormous suppression force on the assailants. His eyes shone with purple light while his body bathed in violet flames. But although the scene was akin to the one that marked Freya’s subjugation, this time, Iliana felt neither lust nor enticement. A crushing force carrying the unconstrained desire to dominate was the only thing at play here. Worse, that purple veined weapon seemed to beat with a will of its own and corrupt…

Afterward, Konrad was relieved of his kitchen duties, promoted to the rank of head eunuch and given new quarters. Verena also promulgated a decree allowing Iliana to return to her household on the very same day. That decree spread within the inner court like wildfire and alarmed all its knowledgeable denizens. But while they expected Else’s immediate counterattack, they were disappointed to hear nothing of her side. ... Meanwhile, at Else’s palace. "Your grace, now that the Empress…

"Just because of your fears, you are going to forgo such an opportunity?" "Don’t you know that in danger lies great reward?" "I didn’t peg you for the spineless type." Verena admonished with a disappointed tone. However, Konrad was unmoved. "Your majesty, may I ask you at what age did you become a Saint?" "At the age of four-hundred." She replied without blinking. "Four-hundred...at what age did the emperor achieve sanctification?" "Six-hundred." "The Holy Consort?"…

So fast? How was that possible? Konrad was not just taken aback by the head eunuchs’ sudden words. He was horrified. The timing was too perfect for this to be a coincidence and made him reminisce how his predecessor had been sent to his maker. "You know, I’m sure there must be a misunderstanding. With such a vast inner court, an innumerable amount of Konrads must exist. Surely, you’ve mistaken me for another one but fret not, I won’t take offense." "By the way, Konrad is not even my first…

"The nerves! Who the hell are you?!" Submitting to Konrad was one thing, being verbally abused by a nobody was another. As a pureblooded golden-eyed lioness, if there was one thing Freya didn’t tolerate, it was being disrespected by those she deemed inferior. And while Jasmine’s cultivation had risen to the first step True Knight Rank, Freya didn’t put her in her eyes. "Your new mistress!" Jasmine announced with complacent glee. But at that time, Konrad chose to bring her back to earth.…
