"Sir Reinhardt, why do you not bow?" Given the stature and reputation of the other party, the member of the court asked, instead of getting mad at him instantly.
"Forgive me, King of Rune, for not being able to bow. As a level 10 Divine Paladin of Solaris, I do not just represent a single entity but an entire kingdom. Every action, gesture, or word that I speak can be associated with the kingdom I come from. As such, please excuse me for not being able to bow."
In short, what he was saying was— So what if you are the king? I am the Divine Paladin of Solaris and one of the handful of level 10s in the world. I will not bow before you.
And it needs to be stressed, but Reinhardt had no desire to bow before this king, as he did not deserve it.
Everyone knew his words were sophistry; however, who can make a level 10 being bow their head against their will? The answer was no one.
"I see, in that case you don't have to." The king waved his hand, his expression a little foul.
