Sylvana strode through the bustling streets of the capital. As she passed, people paused, their conversations halting as their gazes shifted toward her. Some whispered, others moved aside, creating a noticeable gap around her.
A vendor spoke to his companion, "That's the one who caused a scene earlier, isn't it? The one who rode on that monster?"
Another whispered, "She's terrifying. Did you see the size of that beast? The moment I saw it, my life flashed before my eyes!"
A mother hurriedly pulled her child closer, her voice trembling, "S-Stay close to me, don't go near her."
Sylvana caught sight of the mother shielding her child and paused, her green eyes softening as a fleeting look of sorrow crossed her face.
She then mumbled to herself, her voice barely audible, "The emperor was right… If I'd brought Tebltan here, it would've caused outright panic."
