After Vicente's words, Lauren followed behind him, unable to stop thinking about how he saw her as an immature young woman who needed to shout to the world that she was strong and should be respected.
'Does he see me in this pathetic way? Fucking Vicente! You really enjoy teasing me! One day I'll teach you a lesson!' she thought to herself on the way to Vicente's next stop.
'I'm not what you think I am! Do you think I needed the help of those useless Nixlas' Shadows men? I saved my teammates several times! They were the ones who needed me!
What do you know about Nixlas' Shadows? You spent all this time having fun in the weak Seidel Kingdom. It was easy to grow up here!' She focused all her mana on Vicente, 'seeing' only him as she walked through the streets of Grandis.
As she thought this, people on the outskirts of the capital made way for Vicente to pass, many locals greeting him with signs of admiration or optimistic comments.
