When the guard announced her arrival, the door slowly creaked open. The subtle sound of the door's movement reached her ears, accompanied by the distinct aroma of wood wafting through the air. Entering the room where she had clashed with her father that morning, she sensed the lingering tension.

Nevertheless, that was no longer a problem for her. Her determination remained firm, and she was ready to accept the consequences.
