Capítulo 289: Contemptuous smile.

'... Why is she so calm then?' Ozul could not help but think in his heart. 

Facing a Rank-10 Magical Beast, even a Rank-10 Mage would be discouraged if not at least a little worried, but Darcia faced the Sovereign as if she was confident to deal with her.

Just like how the Sovereign did, others would have thought that her calm expressions were only a facade to cover her panic-stricken inner turmoil, but Ozul knew better. He had no problem in reading her emotions which revealed how casual she was actually feeling about facing the Sovereign.

'Does she have something up her sleeve?' Ozul wondered while slowly increasing the distance between him and the Sovereign.

The Sovereign had all of its focus on Darcia and the latter's attitude was only making it easier for Ozul to avoid catching the Sovereign's eyes.

He had purposely made it so the Sovereign would have all of her attention on Darcia and he could find the opportunity to kill her during that time.
