Victoria sat on the ground, her hands trembling slightly, as she stared at Eratz. Her composed demeanor and ironclad focus had cracked, leaving her looking vulnerable in a way no one had ever seen.

Eratz was stunned. He had faced monsters, geniuses, and challenges that would break anyone. Still, Victoria, the unshakable pillar of Golden Cosmos, looking at him with such an expression of raw emotion left him speechless.

Victoria inhaled deeply, forcing herself to steady her voice.

"My apologies for the outburst," she said, rising shakily to her feet with the help of Zara and Mercury. "But Eratz…" She paused, her gaze sharp and piercing. "Do you even realize the weight of what you've just said?"

The room fell silent, and everyone froze, waiting for her explanation.
