A knight standing behind Gransham, furious, stepped forward with his sword drawn, ready to strike at Aister.
"Enough, it's just a minor injury."
Marquis Gransham looked at the shallow scratch on the back of his hand, and as the curse spread, the wound instantly healed.
The knight at the Extraordinary Peak finally slowly retracted his murderous intent, not saying a word, and withdrew behind Marquis Gransham.
Marquis Gransham took an interested glance at Kael and noticed that even after his provocation, the Helois Baron didn't even lift his head.
A complete disregard.
It seed the Helois Family Head was quite composed.
He stood up, approached Kael, and said very formally:
"The Royal Court, Steel Eagle Grantham Family Head, I had heard about Baron Helois's reputation earlier and now having seen you, it is indeed comndable. I was sowhat unreasonable just now."
Seeing the nation's scher stand up, Kael finally lifted his head and chuckled lightly, saying:
"Marquis Gransham, indeed, I have long admired your na. I had heard many unfavorable rumors about you and had so prejudice, but now I've realized that one really shouldn't believe everything they hear."
"Oh? It seems our first eting is, on the whole, quite pleasant. What made Baron Helois change his prejudice against ?"
Gransham, of course, could tell what Kael ant: I thought you were just a fool, but now it seems you're not that foolish.
So he wanted to test what kind of character Kael was.
The outside world often said Baron Helois had a coolness completely at odds with his startling looks, and Gransham wanted to see for himself.
"You're really smart. If those knights behind you had taken action just now, then on your way to the Royal Capital, you might not need the shuttle service area to prepare an extra carriage for you."
The implication was, anyone who had acted would no longer be necessary alive.
Marquis Gransham's expression beca slightly more serious. He took the baron's words very seriously.
The knight standing behind Marquis Gransham showed an expression of intolerable humiliation and was about to act when he saw Kael lift his head.
Those radiant eyes t his own, not because he was chard by the brilliance of the eyes, but in that mont, it seed as if he saw a red-eyed Golden Lion coldly staring at him.
Everything around him began to distort; it seed like all scenery was spinning and changing until Kael lowered his gaze again, and he realized that just then, even breathing felt like a sin.
His lungs seed to have stopped functioning, only gasping for air again once he ca back to his senses.
He felt as if a part of his heart had collapsed, infinite fear washed in like a tide through the breach, filling the wounds in his entire heart.
That was the scent of death.
When he finally regained his senses, he understood what he had experienced.
After all, he had guarded Marquis Gransham for many years; he had seen many beings that were only accessible to the top circles.
He scread in his mind: 'Holy Land! It must be Holy Land! And one that has mastery over "Intimidation" elents? But no... why is there such a young Holy Land? Why would such a young Holy Land have experiences that could cultivate "Intimidation"?'
He didn't understand; he was profoundly shocked!
Marquis Gransham also noticed sothing unusual, but since Kael wasn't directly intimidating him, although he vaguely sensed sothing, he couldn't be sure.
Or perhaps, he did not wish to believe it?
After all, if one said it aloud, it could be deed a magical joke.
Just as he was about to say sothing, the door was opened again, and the smiling female staff from the shuttle service area walked in, imdiately catching sight of Kael turning pages of a book.
Unconsciously, as her gaze swept over, her face began to flush.
As a Sea Queen who had manned the Teleportation Array reception for years and grown weary of at dishes, and for whom flirting with n was as routine as drinking water and eating, she found herself blushing just from a glance at the young man.
Fortunately, as a seasoned professional, she maintained her work ethic and bowed in Kael's direction, saying:
"Gentlen, the gate guard has readied the carriage to the Royal Capital. Please proceed."
Kael closed the book, put it away, and stood up, saying, "Let's go."
Marquis Gransham stood up, bid farewell to Kael, and hoped for another eting in the future.
Kael shook his head without any politeness: "Forget it. We're barely acquainted, and I hope not to et again."
Then he led his people, turned away, and boarded the carriage to the Royal Capital.
...
The carriage sped along for a great distance and finally arrived at the Royal Capital a few hours later.
Back in his Royal Capital ho, it suddenly felt like this imnsely expensive premium property wasn't as appealing as the Lord Mansion in his territory.
Upon reaching the ho study, which was more than five tis smaller than the one in the Lord Mansion, Kael took a Two-Handed Heavy Sword from his Space Equipnt.
Or to be precise, it should be called the Scarlet Dream Blade.
This weapon, originally ant for battling the Chosen in the dungeon, was generously given to Kael by the World Mother after the first conquest ended.
