There was silence amidst the pressure of the atmosphere. Things had turned tense due to the wild world that Cecile had used. There was nothing in this world that would have prepared them for what they just heard.
"D-Dead man?"
"She said that right?"
"I thought I misheard it."
The spectators of the tournament were looking at one another before landing their gaze against Cecile.
The Auburn Woman was not bound to any of the four kingdoms present today, yet she nonchalantly sat down with her arms crossed as she faced them. She paid no heed to the gawking and the gaze of worry the nearby spectators gave her. She was solid as she was lithe.
"Excuse me, but Miss Cecile did you refer to me as 'dead man'" said Hezar as he tried to reaffirm if he heard her right.
She might be a beautiful woman blessed with unbelievable natural talent but offending Hezar in a public event like this was something else entirely.
