章 187: 187 Dragon City (Down)_1

"Apologies, Your Majesty, for accidentally allowing him to sneak into the palace and disturb you," said the knight, holding his sword and bowing slightly to Emperor Reinhardt as an apology.

Emperor Reinhardt looked at the intruder, restrained by his knight, and waved his hand, saying with a smile, "It's alright. You can leave now."

The knight hesitated slightly, but the intruder, dressed in a mage's robe, spoke up, "Your Majesty is a sixth-order knight, and at this distance, what would you fear from a mere mage?"

It was indeed the truth. In a one-on-one duel between a mage and a knight, the mage was at an absolute disadvantage, especially when the distance was too close.

If this mage who had broken into Phoenix Palace wanted to harm Emperor Reinhardt, at this close range, his head would probably be twisted off by the sixth-grade knight before the first syllable of his spell would even leave his lips.
