Shane thus spoke.
"I hope you won't do anything rash."
Upon hearing this, Sophie had not yet had the chance to express her stance when Leiya and Nia became angry.
"Exactly who is acting irrationally here?"
"How could you treat us and the entire Taiger Forest like this after we received you with such courtesy?"
Leiya and Nia made strong condemnations.
Sophie also wore a stern face, staring intently at Shane as if hoping to get an explanation.
Unfortunately, Shane wasn't in the mood to say much.
"I'll only say this," Shane said indifferently, "The Demon Spirit has appeared."
At those words, Sophie and her two companions were immediately shaken to the core.
"What...!?"
Leiya was greatly dismayed.
"It's impossible!"
Nia reflexively cried out.
"Demon Spirit...?"
Sophie was stunned, her beautiful face showing an unprecedented confusion.
In her heart, a past too painful to recall was mercilessly unearthed.
It was from before Sophie became queen.
