"Since you call me Senior Sister, I will call you Junior Brother," the scar-ridden mermaid acknowledged, softening her tone. At the same time, Vaan's calmness gave her some relief.
Although she was tasked to make things difficult for Vaan, when was it ever easy to disrespect a Noble Being?
Perhaps the backer behind their Luminous Veil didn't need to give Vaan any respect, but bottom-rankers like her definitely did. As such, if Vaan had responded with a hard stance and escalated the matter, she would have been the one in trouble.
After all, to disrespect a Noble Being was to disrespect the Myriad Sea God Palace's faith. Such a grave offense wouldn't be excused once it was made an issue.
Alas, she could only blame her luck for drawing the bad stick and getting put in charge of dealing with the Noble Being.
