Something was rising....
"Hisss!!"
But then... Hearing the displeased sound from the snake prompted an immediate reaction from Delphine, who swiftly moved away from Aether, her face flushed with embarrassment as she glared at the serpent.
"Shrink back to your smaller form," Delphine commanded, but to her dismay, the snake disregarded her order and instead flaunted its elegant white-scaled body to Aether.
Veins bulged on Delphine's forehead, a clear sign of her growing frustration. This scenario had been repeating itself for the past few days... the snake consistently ignoring her commands, despite her superior strength and she could even kill it within a second and yet.... It seemed determined to maintain its own course of action, oblivious to Delphine's authority.
