Bab 212: For the Common People!

Peace finally returned to the night. But in that peace, dread still lingered. Unequal dread, that is. If both male and female denizens of the royal palace were terror-stricken by Konrad's demonic powers and awe-inspiring might, at least the consorts and concubines had already "surrendered" in the night of debauchery.

Therefore, they knew what to expect and weren't as startled as the maids and eunuchs. Still, even Augusta was forced to admit that she'd not expected such a shocking display. Although following the revelation of his demonic nature, she didn't expect Konrad to lose to the elders, the strength he showcased still surpassed her calculations.

When the von Gradl elders and Water Temple leaders perished, she was the first to heave a sigh of relief. Better than anyone, she knew that should they triumph, her father would never spare her. A cruel and unforgiving man, he would undoubtedly use her life to "cleanse shame and restore family honor."
