Konrad declared following Berken's new greeting. And hearing this, though his stubborn mind wished to disagree, Berken couldn't. And in a flash, all his desires to restore the human's glory fell in the shadow of his complete and utter devotion to his master's will, to Konrad's will!
"Your wish is my command."
Berken replied without a ripple.
"You may rise. And rejoice, you no longer need to rely on Ashara's Seal and can burn your blood indefinitely. Henceforth, you can consider yourself restored to greater heights than ever before."
