UV1's piercing gaze locked onto Ani as she stood silently in the center of the throne room.
Her white hair glowed faintly under the room's ethereal light, her blue eyes reflecting a mix of calm and defiance.
She didn't cower or tremble. Her stillness was unsettling, her presence a stark contrast to the reactions UV1 was accustomed to—fear, submission, and despair.
"I know what you are," UV1 said finally, his voice deep and measured. It echoed through the chamber like a decree.
Ani met his gaze without flinching. Her expression remained steady as she replied, her voice calm yet resolute, "And what of it? What does that matter to me?"
Hearing Ani's words, all the people sitting there get very shocked because for the first time in many years they have seen someone speaking in front of the All Father and that too without any fear.
The throne room fell silent. Her words hung in the air, cutting through the oppressive atmosphere like a blade.
