"The Horizon Sect probably never would have thought that they would experience such a depressing situation one day!" Samuel quipped.
"Okay then, everybody! The meeting is over. You have all done well in procuring the spiritual herbs. Tell your group members that they'll be rewarded with pills that correspond to their attainment level. It's all thanks to their efforts that this was a success," Wuhlricht said to Tamara and Heidi with a smile.
Once he had spoken to the group, he turned to Severin and said, "I'd like you to remain here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you in private."
"Of course." Severin nodded.
After the others had departed, only Severin, Wuhlricht, and Gilda were left inside the hall.
Wuhlricht looked at Severin before saying, "I've already informed Gilda that you were the man who took her first time that night."
Severin was taken aback by his revelation. "She knows?!"
Gilda rolled her eyes at Severin, retorting, "I was worried sick because of you, you know. I thought this child was someone else's, but it turned out to be yours."
Gilda nodded. "Yes. Severin is so much better than Frederick."
Wuhlricht then asked, "You've reached level four royal saint now, haven't you? Did you use up all the energy stored in your body? It would have been difficult to make such a huge breakthrough without it."
Severin admitted sheepishly, "To be honest, I'm now a level six royal saint. There's always a chance that other disciples might deduce my involvement with Gilda that night if they found out my true attainment level, so I've been trying my best to conceal my strength."
