Chapter 204.4
Carla looked at Clara with purple eyes as if she had noticed her presence for the first time.
“Oh, Dandol’s princess. What do you think I’m going to do?”
“I don’t care what you do to her. I don’t care what you do to her, but if you want to hurt her, I will stop you.”
Clara said this to Carla, even though she was pale under Carla’s gaze.
Carla stared at Clara’s words for a moment, then smiled and took a step toward her.
“Step back.”
Just one word…with magic and intimidation on it, that was all it took to bring her handmaidens to their knees as they tried to protect Clara.
They are not weak. As former assassins, they have the same Rank 3 ability as the Royal Guard. However, their strength was not enough to stop Carla, the most powerful woman in the country.
“I…will not retreat!”
Although pale under Carla’s pressure, Clara withstood Carla’s intimidation by force of will and stayed where she was.
“Clara…”
Elena gasped at the sight; Clara’s personality had changed at the age of eight, as if she had become possessed by something. The fundamental content of Clara remained the same, as if she had been swallowed up by adult knowledge, and from Elena’s point of view she looked like a different person.
