Recalling this, Lynn saw Princess perform an extremely cute action.
Moved by modesty, she unconsciously stopped her previously hurried pace, but failed to stabilize herself and nearly collapsed to the ground.
She managed to stay upright by leaning on a nearby handrail, using one hand to hold up her skirt.
Realizing Lynn was watching, Ivyst seemed somewhat embarrassed, slowly straightened up, and then flung back the loose strands of hair by her ear with a light huff.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she gracefully walked down the stairs holding the hem of her skirt, exuding the austere and indifferent air of an empress attending a grand ceremony.
At that moment, she had, unknown to others, removed her mask and revealed her true face.
Thanks to the negative effects of the Curse Mark, nobody dared to meet her gaze, let alone look in that direction.
Thus, only Lynn was fortunate enough to see this appearance.
