Led by Iliana, Konrad stepped inside Daphne’s chambers. Despite her status of imperial consort, her room was plainly decorated, which made Konrad assume that just like Iliana she was more on the reserved end. On the queen-sized bed, the figure of a pale green haired woman could be seen. She was of slender built with long eyelashes and a perfectly carved, Greek goddess-like figure that left no room for nitpicking. But with the seriousness of the situation, Konrad didn’t have time to appreciate her…-

The eunuchs’ chests were marked with the firm imprint of Konrad’s fists. Blood dripped from the corners of their lips, and their unconscious but still breathing bodies remained encased within the walls. Now the only active presence of the assailants were the palace women that still foolishly giggled on the ground. Konrad entered the system and checked his exp count which had gone from 3515 all the way to 124015. As a second step Grand Knight of extraordinary beauty, Freya had brought 80000 exp while…

Just like the team sent to deal with Iliana, the assassins in Daphne’s quarters were a combination of maids and eunuchs that either directly worked for the Holy Consort or belonged to her faction. They numbered twelve in total, with ten high-level True Knights and two Grand Knight court ladies. The reason for such a formidable lineup was Daphne’s skilled entourage. Imperial consorts were allowed to possess six personal attendants that could be handpicked from their families, so house Kracht had…

Time held its breath, allowing the pair to enjoy the fleeting moment for what seemed like an eternity. Konrad then freed her from his grasp, and although she let nothing transpire on her face, Iliana felt a small sense of loss swirl within her abdomen. "Let’ get to proper business. I’m sure you must have an idea as to why they wanted to kill you right? Maybe you even know some of them?" The inquiry pulled Iliana back to seriousness, and Konrad could see the shadow of sorrow hidden within her…

Meanwhile, Konrad’s martial and spiritual cultivations were soaring! Sixth step Adept Knight... Seventh...eighth...ninth... First step True Knight...second...third...all the way to eighth step True Knight! As for his spiritual cultivation, it went from the ninth step Initiate Priest to first step True Priest before stabilizing. But it wasn’t over. "Host! Congratulations for completing the second level of the main quest. Reward time!" "Host’s martial cultivation is increased to…

Without a shred of doubt, the energy signature within those flames was of demonic origin. Not only was the Grand Knight woman horrified, but Iliana's eyes were also full of terror. Within the Holy Continent, demonism was a forbidden practice punished by death, and demons of all kinds held the status of "kill on sight." Across the hundred thousand years long history of the Holy Flame Empire, there had been countless witch hunts and exterminations of people related to demons in any way conceivable.…

The whistle of arrows streaking through the air divided the pair in a heartbeat. Iliana was the first to sense the danger. Using her arm-strength of nearly two thousand kilos, she pushed Konrad into the air and somersaulted to avoid the incoming bolts. They flew past the area she previously laid in and lodged into the distance. "What’s the meaning of this? Why didn’t you warn me?" An outraged Konrad asked the system. "Hum...about that...I can only warn you against malicious intent aimed at…

Within the night, the indiscernible shadow of a woman appeared and motionlessly stood by Konrad’s side. For an hour, she did nothing but stare at him, before vanishing as silently as she had appeared. ... The sunrays spreading within the sky marked the end of the night; the first full sleep night Konrad had experienced since his arrival in this world. He stood up, asked for his two goons to handle his shift and shot toward the marketplace. The inner court marketplace was a bustling location that…

"What an odd woman." Observed the system as Konrad walked out of the pavilion. "When you think of it, it’s nothing surprising. Those women are trapped in the palace for years without the chance to have a relationship or to even see a real man. Developing some odd fantasy is only natural. In any case, it’s not like I haven’t seen worse." "To be roughly taken from behind every night by a man I yearn for, yet, can never see." That was her core fantasy. Needless to say, it didn’t quite match…

There were three central parts to a eunuch’s attire. The blue robe, the red hat, and the box. The box was tied to their belt and contained their "removed part" which they always carried on them due to the common belief that dying without a complete body would prevent reincarnation. The hat was large enough to cover most of their forehead and was in itself a reminder that they should often lower their heads and look toward the ground. Eunuchs were not treated as men and were not expected to act like…
