The unofficial agreement

Listening to Orion's words and witnessing the disbelief in his expression left Olivia momentarily speechless. She grappled with a mix of confusion and irritation.

Why did he consider her weak?

'What does he mean by that?' she thought, her lips beginning to twitch in annoyance. The thought of being at the Crystal Sage Rank being dismissed as easy irked her. 

In her mind, achieving such status was an impressive feat, only surpassed by becoming one of the Five Major Clan Heads or entering the royal family. 

"Do you think reaching the Crystal Sage Rank is as easy as grabbing a fruit off a tree?" Olivia retorted, her irritation apparent as her lips twitched. She was about to elaborate, "Besides, even the Queen, the most powerful Prismerion in the kingdom, holds only the Crystal King Rank, so that..." 

However, she abruptly halted her words, her hands swiftly covering her lips as she processed the unintended implications of her statement.
