"Well, let's just leave it at that," the young woman said with a shrug.

The little girl simply raised her shoulders in resignation at this.

"Is that so?"

Muttering to herself, the young woman shifted her gaze away from the little girl and looked at the girl in white.

"Although I know Ling, to me, it seems we are strangers. I shall extend my greetings first, considering the vast difference in our statuses."

With that, the young woman smiled slightly and performed a courteous bow.

"Pleased to meet you, I am Fiose·Elena."

"Fiose·Elena..."

Perhaps sensing the apprehension of the girl in white.

"Do not worry, this is my real name. It would be impolite to use a false name, especially since you are involved. Although I'm just an ordinary person unlike the esteemed Holy Heir who has been trained in etiquette, I still uphold basic respect."

The young woman added with a smile.

"If I may find you..."

"In truth, Holy Heir, there is no need for concern. I mean no harm, I simply wished to pay my respects to you."

"Respects... in this manner...?"

As she spoke, the girl glanced at the helicopter outside.

Though her tone carried a hint of sarcasm, the young woman simply smiled at the remark.

"So, Holy Heir is bothered by this matter. My apologies. Due to my ordinary status, meeting you through conventional means would likely be impossible, as I might be stopped by the guards."

"Oh... never thought about why the guards would hinder?"

The girl's mockery this time didn't hold back.

"Holy Heir, how could I possibly know? Perhaps... they view me as a threat. Though I'm not sure of the reason, that might be their perception."

"Isn't that something you should be aware of?"

With that, the girl intentionally glanced at the corner where the guards who were defeated by the young woman moments ago were stationed. It was clearly a display for the young woman.

However, the young woman didn't easily back down and remained composed.

"Oh, Holy Heir, you seem to have misunderstood. It was merely an act of self-defense. I wouldn't typically resort to such actions."

"Self-defense?"

"Indeed, Holy Heir must have seen it, they were about to harm this child, and I had to intervene to protect this child. As you must know, as long as they didn't make the first move, I wouldn't resort to such rudeness."

"..."

Perhaps struck in a sore spot, the girl fell silent directly. However, the silence didn't last long, as showing weakness wasn't an option.

"Well then, your business should be concluded by now, since you have met me."

"Well, that's true, but..."

With that, the young woman smiled slightly.

"It's just one of my objectives being achieved."

"One of them?"

"Yes, meeting Holy Heir is no simple task. You may not feel it, but for ordinary people like us, meeting Holy Heir is exceedingly difficult, to the point where resorting to such extreme measures becomes necessary."

The young woman gestured deliberately towards the helicopter with her eyes, as a response to the earlier gesture.
