"How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to?! No one disrespects the Third Princess like that!"
The one who spoke was not the Peak-stage Divine Knight but a Late-stage Divine Knight-level Divine Witch, who was also on the bridge.
Despite the threatening tone, her nervousness and fear were evident.
Clearly, she was a paper tiger, all bark and no bite, knowing that Valefor was likely very dangerous and powerful, and possibly only the mighty background of the Third Princess could save them.
Unfortunately, the Divine Witch made the wrong choice.
Valefor detested headstrong witches, especially those prideful and arrogant ones, full of hot bluster, and not knowing their place. The strong were not to be disrespected.
Yet, surprisingly, Valefor did not lash out and kill the Divine Witch immediately. The old him wouldn't have given it a second thought and would have acted instantly, giving the other party no chance of reprieve or regret.
