Kapitel 178: Preparing for the Contest Part-1

Aqualina Naiadia would never let others trample on her, so it was impossible she wasn't aware of what was happening to her servant; she had heard everything from Taylor in great detail.

Thus, she knew her servant was being ghosted and was being looked down upon, but she didn't take action immediately. She was waiting for Aether to complain, to come to her with his grievances, to speak up and reveal his troubles.

She wanted to hear from him directly about what was happening so she could take action, but to her surprise, Aether wasn't like others. He remained silent and ignored everyone, carrying on as if he didn't care, as if the slights and insults meant nothing to him.

There was a calm and indifferent gaze in his eyes, suggesting he had already endured everything. This resilience made her proud, knowing her servant was stronger and more composed than others.
