It was not an exaggeration.
In that moment... Cesilia felt her heart really skip a beat from fear.
She opened her mouth, many thoughts rushed to her mind, but they got stuck on each other. Not a single word came out.
Even though she was no longer Solomonik, even though her life had started anew, even though she was now a Gold-tier powerhouse, no longer the failure who couldn't even pass the Hand of Winter's test, even though she was a household name, an idol in people's hearts...
There was so much she wanted to say.
But in the end, she just kept silent and slowly bowed her head.

What habit had given her away?
"At your disposal... Your Highness,"
She responded bitterly.
—— How ludicrous.
She had thought she could escape the fear of her past...
"Too late,"
