Finally, without a word, she spun around, walked off the platform without a backward glance, and disappeared into the distance.
In the end, she couldn't bring herself to lower her proud head.
"Sigh..." The Guild Chairman watched her resolute back, his heart filled with helplessness.
Just then, the atmosphere in the square suddenly changed again.
