Dread Duchess seemed to sense Eva's gaze and glanced at her with a hint of a smirk on his veiled face, "I sense disquiet from you, dear disciple. Don't tell me, you are afraid of this little challenge?"
Dread Duchess might be teasing, but her words also contained a hidden warning, as it was clear she had high expectations of Eva, and this entrance trial seemed to be also her way of testing her.
Eva instantly saw through the Duchess's intention and quickly acted playfully, "Hehe, you know me, master, I like challenges the most. I was just surprised you kept it to yourself for so long. At least you should've told young master Nomad about it, or have you taken a liking to him?"
Ace nearly tripped when he heard Eva's words and felt a chill running down his spine because he wasn't expecting Eva to be so bold as to tease Dread Duchess. But he also knew that she was also testing him, and he was speechless because he had never even had such thoughts about the Dread Duchess.
