Chapter 444: Doting Husband

Meanwhile, Konrad appeared on top of his palace's roof, enjoying the brush of the cool night breeze without further disturbance. Not for long. In a twister of golden light, Selene appeared at his right.

"Hehehe, Konrad, Konrad, I'm surprised. Are you getting softer?"

Selene teased with an amused grin. Unlike the rest, she'd bore witness to Konrad's creation of the Purgatory, and when faced with the daunting cost, she couldn't believe Konrad could go to such lengths for one traitorous son.

"Am I?"

"Are you not? With your typical self, for a son, it would be great if you didn't castrate and quarter him. That, or make him live a life worse than death without hope for the future. But today, you chose to reward instead of punishing. 

Tss, tss, tss."

Selene replied to Konrad's level inquiry.

"You misunderstand…"

A voice echoed, and at that time, Krann appeared at Konrad's left in a twister of icy-light.
