In the Holy Flame Space, Alberta stood quietly, her flawless face showing no expression.
She seemed eternally calm, unaffected by external influences.
But if anyone could look up at this moment and bravely meet her gaze, they might discover something special.
Deep within those eyes eternally burning with sunfire, a faint trace of... ease, so subtle even she hadn't noticed, seemed to flicker.
"It's over."
She whispered to herself, her voice echoing in the vast fiery space, carrying a sense of relief from completing a tricky task.
"Not bad."
Reflecting on the earlier conversation, Alberta felt her handling was... decent.
She thought, although she was initially surprised by Herbert's "no reward" reaction, she soon steadied herself, successfully muddling through with her wisdom.
"Although the process was somewhat... sluggish."
She tilted her head slightly, recalling her performance, scrutinizing every detail, ultimately nodding with satisfaction.
