General Ronald's brows furrowed deeply. Only now did he truly see how sharp Zora's edge was. She gave no room at all for refutation.
"For General Helius's sake, I'll give you one last chance," General Ronald said in a low, commanding tone. "Apologize to Serestia and hand over the Bone Cleansing Potion as compensation. I will spare your life today and cancel the life-and-death duel!"
His words were domineering, carrying an unquestionable authority. If not for Zora's identity, he would never have wasted so many words.
Serestia clenched her fists in unwillingness.
She had wanted to use today's duel to kill Zora outright. But since her father had intervened, she could only swallow that resentment for now.
Still, as long as Zora handed over the Bone Cleansing Potion, once they entered the academy, she would have countless ways to kill her.
Everyone's gaze turned to Zora.
