"Yes, Saintess!"
The king bowed to Floriana Sabina respectfully. No one who wasn't close with him should know that he was already a Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It was one of his trump cards against the monarchs of the surrounding kingdoms.
"So, are you helping us?"
Floriana Sabina asked him arrogantly.
"Yes! Anything for the Saintess!"
The king nodded respectfully. He couldn't help but become excited. A Saintess should have a lot of valuable stuff with her. If she rewards him with it, it would make him happy.
"Fufufu. You're smart."
Floriana Sabina laughed and praised the king. He sure knows where the benefits lie.
The guards who were around the garden looked at their king in shock. They never saw their king act this respectfully to someone. It was like they were dreaming.
