"A Kracht kinsman."

　　 Konrad replied, and immediately, the girl realized why he could bypa.s.s the formation. Across the Ancient Crystal World, the Kracht ranked among the mightiest houses. Even among imperial relatives, their strength and prestige stood without equal. Before them, even the Voight of the empress couldn't act unruly. And unlike what the commoners believed, the well-informed knew that the reason for such standing lay in their patriarch, State Pillar Wolfgang Kracht, being one of the emperor's oldest and most favored retainers.

　　 Still, the girl remained undeterred.

　　 "Although I do not have the authority to admonish you, even a Kracht kinsman can't break the church's rules with impunity. I always heard your house's devotion to his majesty stood without peers, but when even a random kinsman dares wantonly break Church rules, I'm forced to put that into question.

　　 I'm truly interested in what your patriarch has to say regarding this?"

　　 The girl snapped in a dauntless tone.

　　 Hearing this, Konrad arched his eyebrows. What would Wolfgang have to say? Did he dare complain?

　　 "Hum…I was punished to serve as night guard for some misdeed. So here I am."

　　 Konrad randomly replied. But hearing this, the girl furrowed her eyebrows.

　　 "The Church doesn't have guards because here none dares cause trouble. The formations are the only guards. Try again."

　　 The girl replied, making a speechless Konrad blink in disbelief. Indeed, within the Jade Capital, on church grounds, none dared act unruly. Even the formations served as decorations. There was no need for defenses.

　　 "Well, believe it or not, I'm here to pray and have no nefarious intent. But I'm confused, why don't you pa.s.s the Blessed Examination? With your looks and annoying tongue, you'd pa.s.s it without a hitch.

　　 Believe me, I've seen a great many deal of successful candidates."

　　 Konrad s.h.i.+fted the topic.

　　 Upon hearing those words, the girl's frown dispersed, and she returned her attention back to the altar, and the Profane Prince Statuette hovering above it in a jade light ball.

　　 "Although they are directly blessed by his August Majesty, it is a one time thing. The Jade Dynasty has been established for more than forty years already. But even the Matriarchs can count on their hands how often they've laid with his Majesty's true body. At best, they can summon his avatars.
