Capítulo 187: Chapter 187: Rivalry

Aurora's smile didn't falter, though there was a flicker of amusement in her eyes. She seemed unfazed by Aria's possessive gesture. Instead, she maintained her friendly facade, as if completely oblivious to the tension in the air.

"Well, it's a pleasure to finally meet you properly, Ethan," Aurora continued, ignoring Aria's silent warning. "You are really strong, Ethan. It's not every day someone talks so bravely among the Transcendentals the way you did."

Melina, with her eyes swollen didn't say anything. She remained standing quietly beside her sister. Her presence was complete silence, almost annoyed, as if she wasn't entirely on board with her sister's approach to the person who was just charged of killing Sigard.

Aengus, feeling the growing tension between the two women, sighed inwardly. This was the last thing he needed right now. He glanced at Aria, noticing the fierce determination in her expression, and decided it was best to keep things calm.
