The founding of the Knight Academy (VI)

Chapter 803: The founding of the Knight Academy (VI)

"How magnificent."

Standing before the majestic old buildings, Brandt could not help marveling.

The Imperial Knight Academy had existed for over a thousand years. It was so vast that it contained several spacious riding grounds, and outside the Imperial Capital, it even owned several mountains and forests.

In the past, it had supplied the Empire's nobles with a steady stream of knights every year, reaching its peak after the Empire's blasphemy more than a century ago.

Before that, a commoner who saw a knight had to stop respectfully, call him "milord," and stand at attention.

"Lady Hether, no one seems to know we're coming."

The speaker was Ivar Clayton, the count's second son, who stood beside Brandt.

At his words, Hether snorted. The next instant, the legendary power that had endured within her for centuries erupted, her surging blood energy sweeping across the sky above the Imperial Capital like a blue-green tide.

"Who dares run wild in the Imperial Capital?!"

In an instant, numerous powerful presences stirred. Mages rose into the sky, and furious knights appeared. Their gazes settled on the entrance to the Imperial Knight Academy, where they saw Hether's otherworldly face.

"Lady Hether."

One face after another retreated and vanished. Only a few Sky Knights were pushed forward to stand before Hether.

"Lady Hether, those of legendary rank are forbidden from releasing their full power in the Imperial Capital. Please withdraw your aura, lest you disturb His Majesty."

"Hmph! Wasn't Volvo the one who invited me to the Imperial Capital?"

"Would I frighten him?"

Anger showed on the Sky Knight's face. He lowered his voice, speaking without his former reverence.

"Lady Hether, please show respect for His Majesty, the most exalted person in the Empire."

"Enough nonsense. Stand aside.
