Desa's act of kneeling on one knee had everyone in the hall bewildered.
Desa's respectful greeting made the already bewildered people in the hall start to buzz.
What was going on?
What had happened?
Why would that barbarian woman's servant pay homage and give a servant's bow to the 'Spirit Medium' of South Los?
Confusion arose in everyone's minds.
Baron Korol and Baron Hausman's Swordsmanship Chief looked at Arthur with an added hint of apprehension in their eyes; no one understood Desa's strength better than they did, nor did anyone grasp the terror of that barbarian woman more clearly. If it wasn't for their earlier missteps, opting to give up titles and honors, even the Old Earl of South Los wouldn't have been able to shake the family's prestige in Barny.
Even after renouncing titles and honors, the current Lord Laurie still remained a servant to that family.
This strategy, akin to changing the soup but not the medicine, had initially gained everyone's approval.
