"That's insane!" Julia said, her voice shaking as she stared toward the courtyard.
She grabbed the edge of the table tightly causing her knuckles to turn pale.
She looked at the others. "Sister Sophia… please say something…"
Sophia let out a dry laugh. "Heh… heh… it's okay… I believe in him. My husband is great. He is awesome. He will surely win."
Her words were firm, but her hand betrayed her. The glass she held trembled, and water rippled inside.
Ethan's voice drifted from the side. "Thanks for the praise, but can you say this after putting down the glass that is trembling in your hands?"
Sophia blinked and looked down. Water had spilled onto her fingers. She quickly set the glass aside, her face turning red.
Lia spoke in a low voice. "It isn't that bad. Even if he loses, he will just be injured, right? Right?" She looked around, searching for agreement, but no one answered.
Diana let out a slow breath and crossed her arms, though her eyes never left the training grounds.
