"So, all you wanted me to do is not to eat with the villagers, hmm?!" Hera said without blinking.
Alice's sobbing came to a sudden halt after Hera's words. None of them expected Hera to just back down. They were anticipating a few more words from her after she tried to fight back, but they did not expect this response. As a result, none of them were able to say anything anymore.
"Since we're done talking, we're going to rest. We are tired," Hera stated firmly as she flicked her long hair and climbed the stairs.
"B-but!" Alice attempted to say something, but she faltered when she saw Xavier's cold stare fixed upon her.
After climbing the stairs, Zen stopped Hera before she could enter her room, with Xavier just behind them. "Hera, why didn't you fight back and say a few more words? Didn't you notice they're targeting you?"
"I did," Hera replied without hesitation.
