All of the people around Allen laughed wildly, while Duke Tembor stepped on the letter that his master had written in his own hand. They all held their bellies and jeered at Allen.
Allen was furious. As he unsheathed his long sword, a white light flashed across Duke Tembor's body. The marble floor was instantly split like tofu, a crack over ten meters in length opening on the ground.
The scene suddenly became silent, as Duke Tembor felt a chill creep upon him. He fell to the ground, unable to stand up for a long time. Several people immediately shouted in unison, "Protect the Duke!"
At that moment, a large number of soldiers rushed in and surrounded Allen. As they did so, Allen sheathed his sword inside its scabbard and exclaimed, "I am a Holy Knight of the Holy Seville Empire. As such, I represent not only the emperor, but also the gods! His highness obtains his powers from the gods. If you dare insult the authority of my king, you will be smited by the gods."
