Richard couldn't say the woman was cold, but her expression made it seem as though she was easily angered and full of complaints.
"Aldric, is this the descendant you spoke of? Why do I feel like he's so ordinary?" The woman approached and spoke.
Richard froze slightly at her words.
He was used to surprising people—it was the first time anyone had ever called him ordinary.
"Eldoria, there's no need to say such things just to provoke me. Anyone with eyes can see this descendant of mine is truly extraordinary," Aldric replied nonchalantly, not even bothering to look at her.
Richard felt as though his ancestor was deliberately acting as if he didn't consider the woman—one of his greatest opponents—important at all.
The woman's expression instantly darkened.
But instead of Aldric, her anger seemed directed entirely at Richard.
Her red eyes seemed to hide a sea of fire yearning to burn him to ash.
