While Kelsey was cultivating in the Sacred Room, Marcia had insulted her publicly more than once. Paige had occasionally joined in as well. Upon discovering that the tribute chest was intended for the Sixth Prince, Emmeline destroyed every single offering in fury.
"Why such a sudden notice? Does this happen often? I recall my husband mentioning that the Medina family's standing rivals that of the royal house. If a Medina heir wished to, he could even claim the throne." Her words instantly caused the three women to frown.
They wanted to rebuke her arrogance, but recalling yesterday's conversation between Kelsey and her companions, none dared to argue openly.
"Elder Madam, please be cautious with such words. Although Medina's standing rivals that of the royal house, we prefer to remain discreet. For ten generations, our family has focused solely on strengthening ourselves to defend humanity from demon threats. I beg you not to offend the Sixth Prince."
