"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 not to avoid. However, doing so would expose his cultivation.
Therefore, he stood still. Gambling on Nils' character and a probe, he let the sword reach his neck. It stopped right before the blade could touch his flesh.
"Why didn't you dodge it?"
Nils asked while keeping her sword aligned with Konrad's neck.
"Your highness must be jesting. How could I with my peak True Priest cultivation dodge your sword? If you want to kill me, I cannot resist."
