The Phoenix Empress's fiery aura intensified, making the room swelter with heat. Her small frame radiated an overwhelming presence, causing even the seasoned elders to shift uneasily in their seats.
"To come here, to my empire, and dare to demand anything—who do they think they are?!" she thundered, her voice reverberating throughout the chamber.
The elders exchanged wary glances, their faces betraying a mix of shock and unease. The situation had escalated far beyond what anyone expected.
Chrystia stepped forward, trying to keep her voice calm yet firm. "Mother, I think it would be wise to let them meet my older sister. That young man is… extremely dangerous. His potential and power might even surpass yours."
Her words hung heavily in the air.
