{Caroline}
Caroline stormed back to her home, her frustration boiling over like a pot left unattended.
The door slammed shut behind her with a resounding thud, reverberating through the empty halls.
With an angry growl, she hurled a nearby vase across the room, watching with a mixture of satisfaction and bitterness as it shattered against the wall.
[Ugh, so... so humiliating!]
The moment played out right before her eyes. The feeling of Lianna's hand reaching out to help her, a child of mana offering aid to someone like her...
The very thought churned her stomach with a bitter taste.
Additionally, recalling the way Enverna and Lianna fought together only served to further fuel her annoyance.
As Caroline paced the confines of her home, her mind buzzed with the memory of Enverna and Lianna's synchronized combat prowess.
